Fixes and updates for UL scheduling, notably DSUUU
Fix a number of problems that stem from !3521, notably regarding Msg3
scheduling, retransmissions in "UL-heavy" TDD scenarios, and BSR
handling. Modify a CI test to run a UL-heavy TDD scenario, and add
documentation for UL-heavy TDD scenarios.
The parameter is either set to 10 (the default, so not necessary), or to
0 forcing the gNB to schedule the UE all the time, which is only
necessary in specific scenario, and here simply wrong.
In high throughput UL scenarios, at least with our configuration, the UE
only sends Short BSR. The maximum is 300000 bytes, which is completely
"scheduled away" after a couple of UL grants. Increase the periodic BSR
to 5ms to get more BSR, which results in higher UL throughput.
On BSR reception, reset sched_ul_bytes. This change means that we assume
that no data is "in flight" for this UE at time of BSR reception, or,
put differently, that we overestimate the buffer size at UE (in the
worst case).
To illustrate this, consider the following traces before/after this
change.
Before this change: Upon BSR reception, the estimated BSR of the UE is
reset, but the gNB still accounts for data "in flight". It is visible
that the calculated buffer size (estimated - scheduled) quickly goes to
zero, and we don't use all resources, despite the buffer still being
full. The maximum application throughput in this run was ~220Mbps.

After this change: The gNB resets the number of bytes "in flight"
(sched). Thus, the calculated buffer is larger, and does not "run out"
before a new BSR arrives (which still indicates the maximum). The UE is
thus allocated all resources, but we might overestimate some resources.
The maximum application throughput in this run was ~300Mbps, limited by
MCS and not by estimated buffer size as in the previous case.

Currently this is used esp. if the number of rounds is limited to 1

Revert "Removed TRP-scheme byte from UL BF PDU to Interop with Aerial 25-1 (FAPI 10.02)"
This commit broke compatibility with Aerial when compiled with
-DSCF_FAPI_10_04_SRS=ON. It was decided that this should become the
default.
Modify documentation, and use a dedicated image name to make it clear in
the CI that it has SRS.
This commit broke compatibility with Aerial when compiled with -DSCF_FAPI_10_04_SRS=ON. It was decided that this should become the default.
This reverts commit 8beb382277.
Instead of only saving this information in the first transmission, also
store it on each retransmission. This should ensure that if some
information changes, we always relate to the last transmission. For
instance, power control information might have changed, and should be
considered in subsequent rounds, if necessary. It also simplifies code.
Fixes: 6294ce715e ("Reorder pf_ul to process retransmission")
In at least the case of mu=1, min_rxtxtime=2 and DDDSU with no UL
symbols (for ULSCH) in the mixed slot, the current state of code does
not allow a UE to attach. This is because at mu=1, Msg3 is k2+delta,
where k2=min_rxtxtime and delta(mu)=3.
Prior, this special case was handled because we had a dedicated Msg3
TDA, which in most cases is not necessary (because the mixed slot
allocates the DCI, and the following mixed slot has the UL grant). Add
code that tries to ensure that we only add the Msg3 TDA in cases when we
need it.
Fixes: 961a646dc7 ("Remove dedicated Msg3 TDA")
reset MSG3 C-RNTI flag in case of failure
If MSG3 with C-RNTI fails, the UE should come back with a
re-establishment (after a given number of RA failures in general). In
that case, the OAI UE wouldn't reset the MSG3 with C-RNTI flag leading
to re-establishment failure.
feat(ldpc_aal): Do not try EAL init if FHI 7.2 is enabled
When FHI 7.2 is enabled, the EAL initialization is done by the FHI and
the attempt to init EAL by ldpc_aal will fail. In that case, it is not
necessary neither to provide a DPDK core list for BBDEV.
This MR offers to skip EAL init in ldpc_aal when FHI 7.2 is enabled in
order to avoid error messages in the log and to allow dropping the
useless DPDK cores argument in that case.
Also add some fixes to the LDPC offload documentation.
NR UE: add support for PDSCH rate matching with NZP CSI-RS
Currently only ZP CSI-RS is considered in function
configure_ratematching_csi, add support for NZP CSI-RS.
Closes#975
If the DCI in PDCCH is not correctly received, no PDSCH would be decoded but counted as no error.
Also if the DCI was not correctly received, a TBS of 0 would be used in some computations and memory allocations.
Fix these not counting if there is no PDSCH decoding, and by using the known TBS instead of the one received from the DCI.
Previously, the TDA reuse condition was wrong: for multiple TDAs with
different k2, the symbol allocation might be the same, in which the
previous logic was using the wrong TDA. Fix the condition, and insert an
assert to ensure the allocated TDA is correct.
