Improve radio for Metanoia RU (and likely others)
We introduced a regression that lowered the achievable DL throughput
with at least the Metanoia RU (i.e., in the configuration and the UE
that we use). git bisect showed up one commit, which does not seem
necessary. We just revert this commit, as it improves the throughput and
does not seem to have a negative impact on performance.
Further, increase RLC buffers a bit. Limit 7.2 pipeline number of layers
to 2.
Add Bearer Context Modification Request/Response enc/dec lib and adopt in stack
This MR is introducing the Bearer Context Modification Response enc/dec
library with relative unit test, and it is also adopting it in the
stack. Also:
- Refactor Security Information IE decoding function
- Adopt Bearer Context Modification Request lib in stack (introduced in
!3219 (merged))
Issue 947 and compilation improvements
This MR started with a small commit (03c7f151) to close#947. Little did
I know that I would be taken in a long journey through OAI compilation
hell.
F1AP: Allocate gNB_DU_ID before storing ID
Update the test so it would catch that bug. Check in eq_() that both
gNB_DU_IDs would be present, or not, using xor.
Found while interop testing with OSC DU.
Pass a "type" of RLC operational mode, from which split-type/gNB/UE
decision is derived.

prepare_scd() sets up memory for possible dedicated BWPs to be set up.
If they are not used, they are freed in fix_scd(). [1]
There are two problems:
1. in prepare_scd(), multiple structures are allocated once (for
multiple elements), but inserted once. When trying to free those, the
logic of ASN.1 is to free list elements individually, but then we try
to call free() on each element of the list that has been allocated in
one go. Fix this by doing multiple allocations to be in line with
ASN.1 logic.
2. in fix_scd(), free recursively all data structures, not only the
sequence element itself.
[1] this is horrible. We should only allocate memory if we actually need
it, but let's fix the more urgent problem of memory leaks first. Fixing
the logic problem would be more involved.
Add Delay Mechanism for Initial MIB/SIB Transmission in gNB Scheduler
- Delay MIB/SIB in gNB until PRACH noise converges
- Remove the first PRACH random access attempt delay in NR UE
Bugfix for number of PRBs in PUCCH format 2
[TS 38.213 - Section 9.2.1 PUCCH Resource Sets] If the format indicates
PUCCH-format2 or PUCCH-format3, the PUCCH format configured for a PUCCH resource
is PUCCH format 2 or PUCCH format 3, respectively, where the PUCCH resource also
includes a number of PRBs provided by nrofPRBs, a number of symbols for a PUCCH
transmission provided by nrofSymbols, and a first symbol for the PUCCH
transmission provided by startingSymbolIndex.
[TS 38.213 - Section 9.2.3 UE procedure for reporting HARQ-ACK] If a UE transmits
a PUCCH with O_ACK HARQ-ACK information bits and O_CRC bits using PUCCH format 2
or PUCCH format 3 in a PUCCH resource that includes M_PUCCH_RB PRBs, the UE
determines a number of PRBs M_PUCCH_RB_min for the PUCCH transmission to be the
minimum number of PRBs (...)
[TS 38.213 - Section 9.2.5.1 UE procedure for multiplexing HARQ-ACK or CSI and
SR in a PUCCH] If a UE transmits a PUCCH with O_ACK HARQ-ACK information bits,
O_SR = ⌈log2(K+1)⌉ SR bits, and O_CRC CRC bits using PUCCH format 2 or PUCCH
format 3 in a PUCCH resource that includes M_PUCCH_RB PRBs, the UE determines
a number of PRBs M_PUCCH_RB_min for the PUCCH transmission to be the minimum
number of PRBs (...)
[TS 38.213 - Section 9.2.5.2 UE procedure for multiplexing HARQ-ACK/SR/CSI in
a PUCCH] If a UE has HARQ-ACK, SR and wideband or sub-band CSI reports to
transmit and the UE determines a PUCCH resource with PUCCH format 2, or the UE
has HARQ-ACK, SR and wideband CSI reports to transmit and the UE determines a
PUCCH resource with PUCCH format 3 or PUCCH format 4, where (...) the UE
transmits the HARQ-ACK, SR, and CSI reports bits by selecting the minimum number
PUCCH M_PUCCH_RB_min of the M_PUCCH_RB PRBs satisfying (...)
[TS 38.213 - Section 9.2.5.2 UE procedure for multiplexing HARQ-ACK/SR/CSI in a
PUCCH] If a UE has one or more CSI reports and zero or more HARQ-ACK/SR
information bits to transmit in a PUCCH where the HARQ-ACK, if any, is in
response to a PDSCH reception without a corresponding PDCCH; if any of the CSI
reports are overlapping (...); else, the UE transmits the
O_ACK + O_SR + O_CSI + O_CRC bits in a PUCCH resource provided by
pucch-CSI-ResourceList and determined as described in clause 9.2.5
Therefore, the number of PRBs to be used by PUCCH-format2 is M_PUCCH_RB_min,
except if we have zero HARQ-ACK bits, or if we have any HARQ-ACK, is in response
to a PDSCH reception without a corresponding PDCCH. In this case, we must use
the resources indicated in the pucch-CSI-ResourceList and determined as described
in clause 9.2.5.
In OAI, we have:
asn1cSeqAdd(&csirep->reportConfigType.choice.periodic->pucch_CSI_ResourceList.list, pucchcsires);
Where the resource added to the list corresponds to:
pucchres2->pucch_ResourceId = *pucchressetid;
pucchres2->startingPRB = 0;
pucchres2->intraSlotFrequencyHopping = NULL;
pucchres2->secondHopPRB = NULL;
pucchres2->format.present = NR_PUCCH_Resource__format_PR_format2;
pucchres2->format.choice.format2 = calloc(1,sizeof(*pucchres2->format.choice.format2));
pucchres2->format.choice.format2->nrofPRBs = 8;
pucchres2->format.choice.format2->nrofSymbols = 1;
pucchres2->format.choice.format2->startingSymbolIndex = 13;
Currently, in develop branch, we get these prb_size for PUCCH-format2:
[NR_RRC] NGAP_PDUSESSION_SETUP_RESP: sending the message
[NGAP] pdusession_setup_resp_p: pdusession ID 1, gnb_addr 172.31.0.1, SIZE 4, TEID 1579669408
[NR_MAC] (596.3) pucch_pdu->prb_size = 4
[NR_MAC] (596.4) pucch_pdu->prb_size = 3
[NR_MAC] (600.3) pucch_pdu->prb_size = 4
[NR_MAC] (600.4) pucch_pdu->prb_size = 3
[NR_MAC] (604.3) pucch_pdu->prb_size = 4
[NR_MAC] (604.4) pucch_pdu->prb_size = 3
[NR_MAC] (608.3) pucch_pdu->prb_size = 4
While in QXDM we have Num RB = 8, whenever we have zero HARQ-ACK bits:
UCI Request BMask = ACK_NACK_RPT | CSI_RPT
Start symbol = 13
Num Symbols = 1
Starting RB = 0
REL16 DMRS EN = 0
Dual Pol Status = 0
Num RB = 2
Freq Hopping Flag = HOP_MOD_NEITHER
Second Hop RB = NA
Num HARQ ACK Bits = 1
Num SR Bits = 0
Num UCI P1 Bits = 8
UCI Request BMask = ACK_NACK_RPT | CSI_RPT
Start symbol = 13
Num Symbols = 1
Starting RB = 0
REL16 DMRS EN = 0
Dual Pol Status = 0
Num RB = 3
Freq Hopping Flag = HOP_MOD_NEITHER
Second Hop RB = NA
Num HARQ ACK Bits = 3
Num SR Bits = 0
Num UCI P1 Bits = 13
UCI Request BMask = CSI_RPT
Start symbol = 13
Num Symbols = 1
Starting RB = 0
REL16 DMRS EN = 0
Dual Pol Status = 0
Num RB = 8
Freq Hopping Flag = HOP_MOD_NEITHER
Second Hop RB = NA
Num HARQ ACK Bits = 0
Num SR Bits = 0
Num UCI P1 Bits = 10
UCI Request BMask = CSI_RPT | SR_RPT
Start symbol = 13
Num Symbols = 1
Starting RB = 0
REL16 DMRS EN = 0
Dual Pol Status = 0
Num RB = 8
Freq Hopping Flag = HOP_MOD_NEITHER
Second Hop RB = NA
Num HARQ ACK Bits = 0
Num SR Bits = 1
Num UCI P1 Bits = 11
Therefore, this MR fixes the prb_size, so that the number of PUCCH-format2 PRBs matches correctly.
This commit introduces a delay mechanism for the first MIB/SIB transmission
in the gNB scheduler to allow PRACH noise estimate to converge stabilize
before first PRACH preamble reception.
Key changes:
- Added the `num_scheduled_prach_rx` variable to gNB_MAC_INST to keep track
of total number scheduled of PRACH receptions. Using uint64_t type to avoid
overflow.
- Updated the `gNB_dlsch_ulsch_scheduler` function to conditionally schedule
MIB/SIB transmissions if `num_scheduled_prach_rx` is at least 100.
The value comes from OAIs implementation of PRACH noise estimate.
Enable SSB-SINR based CSI reporting
3GPP 38.331 release 16 specifies that If the field reportQuantity-r16 is present,
UE shall ignore reportQuantity (without suffix). reportQuantity-r16 configures
SSB based SINR as the reporting quantity.
set do_SINR = 1; in gNB params part of the config file to enable SSB based SINR
reporting.
Cleanup and refactor initial gNB configuration
This is follow-up on !3048 (merged). Major changes in this MR:
- Add config functions to reduce redundant code repeated in multiple places in the file
- Add macros to reduce redundant code in gNB configuration
- Refactor RCconfig_NR_NG
- Cleanup obsolete and commented out code
- Refactor includes in executables/nr-gnb.c
- Introduce platform type plmn_id_t for consistency across the stack: F1AP, NGAP can now use the same struct type
- And other minor formatting
This commit refactors the TUN interface management by moving its creation
and configuration from the PDCP layer to the SDAP layer for UE.
Key changes include:
- Introduced `tun_generate_ue_ifname` and `tun_destroy` functions for better
TUN interface lifecycle management.
- Added support for creating and destroying UE-specific TUN interfaces in SDAP.
- Refactored `nr_pdcp_module_init` to remove TUN-related logic and moved it
to SDAP.
- Updated NAS and SDAP layers to handle PDU session-specific TUN interface
creation and configuration.
- Enhanced SDAP entity management to include TUN socket handling and thread
lifecycle.
- Updated NAS message handling to initialize default PDU session TUN
interfaces in NOS1 mode.
- Use a single SDAP thread function for gNB and UE
- Allow noS1 mode also in SA on gNB
These changes improve modularity by isolating TUN interface management within
the SDAP layer, aligning with the 3GPP architecture, and simplifying the PDCP
layer.
