This function is needed also in upcoming NGAP
libraries (i.e. N2 Handover) and therefore is moved
to the NGAP utilities file. The function converts
transport_layer_addr_t data struct to BIT_STRING_t
by copying the content of its members. The naming
is also updated to tnl_to_bitstring.
* Functions added:
decode_ngap_guami
decode_ngap_UEAggregateMaximumBitRate
decode_ngap_nssai
decode_ngap_security_capabilities
decode_ngap_mobility_restriction
* Adopt these functions in the common NGAP library
GUAMI fields (Set ID, Pointer and Region ID) were decoded as Octet String,
however they are encoded as BIT STRING. Therefore, the GUAMI value was wrongly decoded.
In the AMF logs the AMF IDs are 1,1,1, however in gNB logs we had 1,64,4
Quick local test confirmed that:
---- TESTING AMF IDs = 1 ----
Region ID (OCTET STRING): 1
Region ID (BIT STRING): 1
Set ID (OCTET STRING): 64
Set ID (BIT STRING): 1
Pointer (OCTET STRING): 4
Pointer (BIT STRING): 1
The difference arises because:
- OCTET STRING treats the buffer as raw bytes, with all bits used.
- BIT STRING includes a `bits_unused` field, which tells how many padding bits
are present in the least significant end. This is especially important in
3GPP ASN.1 definitions like AMF Set ID (10 bits), AMF Region ID (8 bits),
AMF Pointer (6 bits), where the full byte(s) may contain unused bits that
must be masked out.
selectedPLMN-Identity IE in RRCSetupComplete is an Index (long) of the PLMN selected
by the UE from the plmn-IdentityInfoList (SIB1) (see 3GPP TS 38.331)
while
Selected PLMN Identity in NGAP INITIAL UE MESSAGE Indicates the selected PLMN
id for the non-3GPP access (PLMN Identity ID carrying MNC, MCC and MNC size,
9.2.5.1 3GPP TS 38.413)
The legacy code was setting Selected PLMN Identity in the latter to an ID
value as the former, however in NGAP the IE to be encoded is PLMN Identity 9.3.3.5
therefore:
* set plmn type plmn_id_t in ngap_nas_first_req_t
* check whether received selectedPLMN-Identity is within bounds
* select PLMN from gNB_RrcConfigurationReq by selectedPLMN-Identity ID
note: this commit is assuming that the plmn-IdentityInfoList in SIB1
is matching the PLMN list in gNB_RrcConfigurationReq
* in NGAP: store the PLMN in the NGAP UE context, no need to fetch the PLMN
in the NGAP instance since the UE context already tells what PLMN
was selected
Closes#801
* use bitmask to select presence of either 5G-S-TMSI or GUAMI
* select the AMF based on
(1) absence of UE Identity (2) Presence of GUAMI (3) Presence of 5G-S-TMSI
Related to #801
* add function to process AMF Identifier
* add function to select AMF
* set const parameters in utility nnsf functions
* adopt utilities for memory allocation
* improve readability and maintainability
* improve logging
ngap_pdu_t has the same definition as byte_array_t, so it is
replaced by the latter. This simplify the stack and reduces
duplicated code.
Also, add function create_byte_array to copy from an
existing buffer to a new byte_array_t and replaced
allocCopy with create_byte_array, and adopted
OCTET_STRING_fromBuf whenever possible.
Encapsulate the asn1c call from cmake in a cmake function run_asn1c().
As a notable change to the previous manual add_custom_command()
invocation, in suppresses the output of asn1c by default [1] and stores
it in a log file. In case of asn1c4 error, the output will output on
stdout.
Use the new run_asn1c() in all occasions for code generation.
[1] it is quite verbose, with many warnings that we cannot influence nor
suppress, and lists all generated files which is verified by the build
system automatically, anyway.
* new struct definition including both NGAP cause group and value
* add encoding function, temporarily in ngap_common.c
(in the long term to be place in a enc/dec NGAP library)
* extend Radio Network cause enum values
* add cause member to Setup Failure
NGAP-Initial Context Setup Failure
NGAP Failure message - Initial Context Setup Failure. When an Initial
Context Setup Request is received with the UE context as null, it
triggers Initial Context Setup failure
NGAP Failure message - Initial Context Setup Failure.
When an Initial Context Setup Request is received with the UE context as null, it triggers Initial Context Setup failure.
We did not give a cause value, and therefore NGAP's "PDU sessions
failed" encoding failed. Give a cause value in all cases, so that this
cannot happen anymore.
To prevent against this, put an AssertFatal() into the encoder that
stops if an internally sent message does not have a correct cause value
(we can at least select a default).
Print an info message for all failed PDU sessions.
In rrc_gNB_send_NGAP_INITIAL_CONTEXT_SETUP_RESP(): if a PDU session is
already established, don't count it as failed.
ENB_MODE is a cmake option to swap the order of include directories.
This has historical reasons; before OAI used cmake, it was very
sensitive to the order of includes. Nowadays, the order does not matter.
Remove this option, and fix the compilation issues that arise while
doing so.
CMake now takes the option ASN1C_EXEC to select an asn1c to use for
compilation. For instance, run with
cmake .. -GNinja -DASN1C_EXEC=/opt/asn1c/bin/asn1c
or
./build_oai --cmake-opt -DASN1C_EXEC=/opt/asn1c/bin/asn1c
to select the alternative asn1c. For instance, this is important for the
CI to allow to build multiple versions of OAI in parallel that might use
different commits of OAI.
Further, this patch introduces functionality to check for the support of
asn1c options that we require, and alerts the user if they are missing,
alongside a message of how to resolve the problem.
We don't work much on asn1c. The version we use has several bugs.
There is an active community out there that fixes bugs and improves
asn1c. Let's use their version.
