Use flat buffer for txdataF in gNB L1
This MR changes txdataF buffer format to hold freq domain data starting from
PRB0 instead of circular buffer that starts from PRB N/2. The motive is to
simplify RE mapping function in L1 and copying data to xran lib.
Added NTN-FR2 FDD bands defined in release 18 in Ka-band range
* NTN-FR2 bands 510, 511, 512 added. TS 38.101-5 v 18.9 defines these 3 FR2-FDD
bands for NTN operation.
* These bands are defined in Ka band range (17.3Ghz - 31Ghz).
* Tested using the added conf files using RFSIM and GEO configuration.
* There were some inconsistencies observed when testing with RFSimulator before UE
Syncs to the gNB in terms of samples being written for FR2 configurations. Once
the UE syncs, the inconsistencies disappear.
* this is the problem - UE writes incorrect number of samples and gNB complains
about getting samples in past
* The above inconsistencies were also fixed in this merge request.
* These commits solving above inconsistencies were removed from this MR and a
different MR was raised. MR with those commits: !3928.
So far txdataF buffer has DC RE as the first element. This was prefered
most likely to avoid memcpy before iFFT but comes with a small
complexity in RE mapping functions.
Instead, we use a flat buffer that holds freq domain data starting from
first negative SC. After resource mapping is done on all channels, each
OFDM symbol is shifted before iFFT so that the buffer start with DC RE.
This reduces complexity in mapping functions and later on when passing
beam IDs to 7.2 split RU especially when a beam is associated to
interleaved RB and/or REs.
There is already a memcpy in place to copy txdataF from gNB stuct to RU
struct. So this change does not introduce new memcpy.
Remove unused function arguments
Some of them, because there are hundreds if not thousands. Warnings at compilation time can be enabled using -Wunused-parameter.
Fix dB_fixed() function
- dB_fixed(0) returns 0 in develop branch;
- 0 in dB is -INF, but since we're dealing with integer variables, we'll put
20*log10(2^-15) in the output of dB_fixed() function, instead of 0.
- make all users use signed variables
Integrate NRPPA and NGAP messages required for positioning
This MR integrates NRPPA and NGAP messages required for positioning.
The following NGAP messages are integrated (3GPP 38.413 Version 16.0.0):
NGAP UPLINK UE ASSOCIATED NRPPA TRANSPORT
NGAP UPLINK NON UE ASSOCIATED NRPPA TRANSPORT
NGAP DOWNLINK UE ASSOCIATED NRPPA TRANSPORT
NGAP DOWNLINK NON UE ASSOCIATED NRPPA TRANSPORT
The following NRPPA messages are integrated (3GPP 38.455 Version 16.7.1):
TRP Information Request
TRP Information Response
Positioning Information Request
Positioning Information Response
Positioning activation request
Positioning Activation Response
Measurement Request
Measurement Response
This MR tests these messages via a standalone tester nr-cu-nrppa-test that
connects to the AMF to perform NGAP enc/dec and NRPPA enc/dec

UE: Fix if target cell during handover has SSB at a different offset as in source cell
These changes fixed these observed issues:
- If target cell has a different SSB position compared to source cell during
ho - sync was not successful.
- RAR does not get decoded if SSB position has changed on the target cell
compared to source cell.
0 in dB is -INF, but since we're dealing with integer variables, we'll put 10*log10(2^-30) in the output, which corresponds to the symmetrical maximum output of the function.
Actual problem is that SYNC does not happen on the target cell as frame parameters is not updated
and ssb start carrier is not correct in the UE frame parameters
function nr_get_ssb_start_sc to determine ssb_start_subcarrier
Remove L1 dependence from NR band number
L1 band information relied on get_band function that couldn't provide an
unambiguous result. Also there is no SCF compliant parameter for L1 and
generally we don't really need that information in L1.
The MR also remove a RU section that used nr_band but was never really
accessed in NR.
Prior to this commit, constants NB_ANTENNAS_RX/TX are provided on the
command line to each compiler invocation. This has the drawback (1) that
also files that don't need that get the constants, and (2) it is not
easy to find them using ctags or similar, as the only definition is in
CMakeLists.txt (where it is not found).
In this commit, use cmake configure_file() to write a header file with
these constants. The file will be generated during cmake invocation, and
written to <build-dir>/common/cmake_defs.h. The relevant files that
need this definition will pick it from the header.
This has been used previously also in a commit to write git information.

Since the parent commit, USE_MMSE is not defined. Thus, the
corresponding code is commented out. Since there are no linker problems,
it is obvious that this code is never called, and we can remove it.
Cleanup Cmake: remove some double compilation
Harmonize some cmake code to avoid double compilation, notably around
polar and smallblock. In develop, we just add their sources to other
targets, whereas now we define STATIC libraries (further changed to
shared library in !3856) to avoid double compilation.
With this command line:
cmake .. -GNinja -DENABLE_TESTS=ON && ninja
shows that before we compile 12631 files, where after it is 12583
there is additional supporting cleanup (move code, remove headers,
types, ...).
there is more harmonization to do, I limited myself to some easy wins.
For instance, we do the same with PDCP/SDAP, and this should be
refactored into STATIC libraries as well.
Fix SRS power computation
The SRS symbols have been remapped recently in
srs_estimated_channel_freq, and therefore the calculation of the SRS
power has to retrieve the symbols from different positions.
