CI: Add "may_fail" step to execute flaky steps
Add a generic may_fail CI XML step option that indicates the CI step may
fail, but the CI would still be marked as succeeded (instead of skipping
all steps and mark as failed). The cause of this failure depends on the
specific step, e.g., Iperf failing because of low throughput. This
allows to clean up some code and e.g. remove the command_fail option of
Custom_Command, which is then superfluous (and less generic). An
inconvenience is that those may_fail steps will be marked as "failed" in
the HTML. Later cleanup can correct this.
The may_fail is used for executing FHI7.2 testing to push 700 Mbps in DL
(close to the maximum).
Fix some bugs and add some clean up, see commit messages.
Enabling usage of ulsyncvalidityDuration timer in SIB19
ntn-UlSyncValidityDuration in SIB19 from Spec 38.331 v17.12 A validity
duration configured by the network for assistance information which
indicates the maximum time duration (from epochTime) during which the UE
can apply assistance information without having acquired new assistance
information. The unit of ntn-UlSyncValidityDuration is second. Value s5
corresponds to 5 s, value s10 indicate 10 s and so on.
ntn-UlSyncValidityDuration-r17 ENUMERATED{ s5, s10, s15, s20, s25, s30, s35,s40, s45, s50, s55, s60, s120, s180, s240, s900}
Implementation of epochtime is under discussion.
It can be configured in configuration file according to the above
enumeration. For GEO - 240s, MEO - 20s, LEO-5s can be used.
Handle authentication not accepted by the network. The handler assumes the message
is not integrity protected, processes the received NAS message and logs whether a
EAP-failure is enclosed. The UE enters state: 5GMM-DEREGISTERED.
Not done in this commit: the UE shall performs actions as per 5.4.1.3.5 of
3GPP TS 24.501, including (1) Abort any ongoing 5GMM procedure
(2) Stop all active timers: T3510, T3516, T3517, T3519, T3520, T3521
(3) Delete stored SUCI. (4) handle EAP-failure message.

USRP lib: fix incorrect config check for time_source fallback
Corrected a logic bug in usrp_lib.cpp where the code mistakenly checked
openair0_cfg[0].clock_source instead of time_source when a time_source
was already specified in usrp_args.
Also improved the warning log to clarify that the config value is being
ignored in favor of the explicit user-provided usrp_args.

NAS Registration Reject: Add bounds and lengths checks
This change adds lengths checks to the received registration reject
message and also performs a bounds check for the received cause.
Since the cause is not checked, any string in the memory can be
dereferenced, possibly leading to DoS.

Finalize FAPI dump functions, add Digital Beamforming Table and Precoding Matrix
Table to CONFIG.request
This MR finalizes the addition of dump utility functions for the PARAM.response,
CONFIG.request, CONFIG.response, TX_DATA.request and UCI.indication messages.
These functions are intended to be used to aid in debugging FAPI messages between
the VNF and the PNF by printing out every parameter in a more readable form,
instead of a simple hexdump. These are also used by the nFAPI Hex Parser utility,
to be able to debug an Hex dump provided from elsewhere.
Furthermore, this MR also adds the necessary logic to send/receive the Digital
Beamforming Table and Precoding Matrix Table, this in the CONFIG.request message.
This is achieved by the addition of 2 Vendor Extension TLVs (0xA002 and 0xA003),
in order to be able to reuse existing logic to pack/unpack the data. Note: The
present implementation predicts the existence of multiple instances of the
Precoding Matrix Table via the parameter num_pm_idx, whic is not present in the
SCF specification. Note: The created TLVs are only used to ease the pack/unpack
procedure, by allowing to reuse already existing logic for other TlVs, the tag
and length are not sent.
The necessary additions to the utility functions are done to account for these
table. The CONFIG.request unitary test is changed to fill these tables with
randomized data to test transport and copy.
Motivation of the commit:
Previously, the RRC module on the NGAP interface directly handled ASN.1 decoding
of NGAP PDU Session Resource items, that was directly stored in pdusession_t, i.e.
in the UE context. Decode logic between Setup and Modify was also duplicated.,
e.g. fill_qos/fill_qos2. The idea behind this change is to achieve this flow:
(1) NGAP handler: decoding (2) ITTI to RRC: transfer decoded message (3) RRC
handler: process decoded message, e.g. store in UE context, etc..
The goal of this commit is to:
* improve the NGAP decoding library by adding decoding functions
* let RRC handle the already decoded data
* enhance error handling, with decode failures now consistently detected and rejected early
* have a cleaner, more maintainable code with fewer duplications and a clearer separation of modules
Changes:
* Moved all ASN.1 decode logic for PDU Session Resource items into the NGAP library
* Introduced decode functions for NGAP IEs whenever necessary, e.g. decode_TNLInformation
decode_pdusession_transfer
* Removed duplicate fill_qos functions and centralized QoS handling in NGAP
* Added function to copy from NGAP PDU Session Resource item to RRC pdusession_t: this actually
replaces decodePDUSessionResourceSetup in RRC, copying from the decoded NGAP struct to
the UE context pdusession_t
Motivation:
The previous code had overlapping and partially inconsiste definitions of
`pdusession_t` and related structures across NGAP and RRC. This struct type
was used for either the data stored in the UE context and the NGAP message
IEs holding the PDU session to setup/modify information.
This patch aims to separte the `pdusession_t` in RRC, where it logically belongs,
since RRC owns the state of the PDU sessions. NGAP should only
deal with protocol messages, i.e. enc/dec and transfer structures to RRC.
This clarifies module ownership. This also makes the code easier to maintain.
Changes:
* Moved `pdusession_t` definition from NGAP (`ngap_messages_types.h`) to RRC
(`nr_rrc_defs.h`)
* Added a simpler `pdusession_resource_item_t` structure to NGAP for use in
protocol messages
* Adjusted NGAP structures accordingly (Initial Context Setup, PDU Session
Setup Request, and PDU Session Modify Request).
* do decodePDUSessionResourceSetup to decode the NGAP IEs holding PDU session
information and store what necessary in the UE context PDU Session IE: NOTE
this changes were necessary since previously this function was acting on
the common NGAP/RRC pdu_session_t struct
Rename the struct members:
`pdusession_param` to `pdusession` in NGAP Initial Context Setup Request
`pdusession_setup_params` in `ngap_pdusession_setup_req_t`
`pdusession_modify_params` and `ngap_pdusession_modify_req_t`
Motivation:
Clarify the role of GTP tunnel endpoint IDs in PDU session handling. Previously,
the struct members (gNB_teid_N3, UPF_teid_N3, etc.) were confusingly named and
duplicated with separate transport-layer address fields.
This refactoring replaces these with explicit n3_incoming and n3_outgoing members using
gtpu_tunnel_t. This aligns with GTP conventions: "incoming TEID" refers to the
TEID received from the remote peer (UPF on N3), while "outgoing TEID" is the
TEID sent by the local entity (NG-RAN on N3) to the remote peer.
Benefits:
* Improves readability and clarity of the code
* Reduces redundant struct members, i.e. remove UPF_teid_N3, UPF_addr_N3
* Aligns naming with 3GPP conventions for transport layer tunnels
Changes:
* Replace gtp_addr_N3, gNB_teid_N3, gtp_teid, upf_addr with n3_incoming and n3_outgoing
* Update all related code to use the new struct members
* Aligns naming with 3GPP conventions for transport layer tunnels
This struct is used in different layers, e.g. RRC, NGAP: therefore it
has been moved to platform_types.h.
Also, the struct holds the tunnel endpoint configuration for any GTP-U
tunnel, therefore the f1u prefix is not accurate and was updated
to a more generic gtpu.
* Remove drb_is_active: function is unused and the logic will be later
added to another function to add DRBs if necessary
* Remove unused NGAP structs and empty TODO functions
* Remove unused pdusession_setup_req_t struct definition
The seq_arr_erase_it function was modifying start_it during the free_func loop,
which led to incorrectly apply the free_func on the whole array.
This commit makes sure the elements "freed" are only those in the range and not the whole seq_arr.
* Fixes the logic by introducing a temporary iterator for the free loop,
preserving start_it and end_it for correct offset calculations.
* Adds a regression test in test_seq_arr to verify that only the selected
subrange is erased and that free_func is called exactly on that range.
DL NAS Transport: Fix Message Type retrieval on too short message
The change addresses the SM message type retrieval for DL NAS Transport
messages. The assumption of an offset 17 = 7 (MM Sec) + 3 (MM Plain) + 1
(IEI) + 2 (Len) + 4 (SM) is correct.
However, if the DL NAS Transport is received in a plain header, the
lengths would not add up anymore. (This is not complying with the
standard, so not allowed, but possible). The check for the length is
necessary to not process arbitrary memory contents beyond the
pdu_buffer.
Suspend RBs at UE
In case of suspended radio bearer (by RRC), the MAC needs to discarded received
PDUs and avoid to transmit using LCID related to that RB
"multi-ue profile" was a specific iperf option to do iperf across
multiple UEs. However, this is not necessary anymore, the Iperf
handling multiple UEs "implicitly" (based on the number of UEs).
As of the parent commit, there is a generic "may_fail" option through
which we could still ignore an error. Thus, command_fail is superfluous,
and avoids some extra code.
Further, in all these cases, we should better be informed about any
error, so let's not use may_fail for these tests.
There might be various occasions where a CI step should be attempted to
be executed, despite a chance of failing. For instance, we might want
to try executing an instable Iperf test, and still mark the CI as
passing if it fails.
This commit introduces a generic "may_fail" option that will mark any CI
test as succeeded, despite having failed.
Ideally, we would print a warning in the HTML code, but this is not
possible because each step emits its own HTML code, instead of the main
loop handling this. We can improve this in the future.
SPEC 38.331 section 5.2.2.6
Inform MAC that UL SYNC got lost because of T430 expiry
- Send message NR_MAC_RRC_CONFIG_RESET with cause UL_SYNC_LOST_T430_EXPIRY to MAC
Reacquire SIB19 after T430 expiry
This is not checked in this commit
- RACH needs to be performed through probably PDCCH order to reobtain UL-SYNC
- system usecase involving Recovery from T430 expiry not tested yet as that requires changes on gNB side.
Spec 38.331 section 5.2.2.4.21 indicates this
1> start or restart T430 for serving cell with the timer value set to ntn-UlSyncValidityDuration for the serving cell
from the subframe indicated by epochTime for the serving cell;
NOTE: UE should attempt to re-acquire SIB19 before the end of the duration indicated by ntn-UlSyncValidityDuration and epochTime
Epochtime IE
When explicitly provided through SIB, or through dedicated signaling, the EpochTime is the starting time of a DL
sub-frame, indicated by a SFN and a sub-frame number signaled together with the assistance information.
For serving cell, the field sfn indicates the current SFN or the next upcoming SFN after the frame where the message indicating the epochTime is received.
This field is mandatory present when ntn-Config is provided in dedicated configuration.
gNB implementation related to epochtime will be done in a separate merge request.
Adds the packing and unpacking functions needed for the PM Table in CONFIG.request
This table tag is specified in SCF222.10.06(0x104B), previous versions didn't have a tag for this table, and this version of the spec introduces the parameter `num_pm_idx`, previously not present.
A struct nfapi_nr_pm_tlv_ve_t is added to represent this TLV in order to be able to use the pack_nr_tlv function.
The necessary additions to the utility functions are done to account for this table.
The unitary test is changed to fill this table with randomized data to test transport and copy.
Adds the packing and unpacking functions needed for the DBT Table in CONFIG.request
This table tag is specified in SCF222.5.0 (0x1043) and this tag is used to transport the table, previous versions did not include a tag for the table.
A struct nfapi_nr_dbt_tlv_ve_t is added to represent this TLV in order to be able to use the pack_nr_tlv function.
The necessary additions to the utility functions are done to account for this table.
The unitary test is changed to fill this table with randomized data to test transport and copy.
