* Add option `--L1s.L1_num_tx_sym_per_thread` for the softmodems and `-Y` for `nr_dlsim`
to provide the number of symbols processed per thread.
It defaults to 0 which makes that every symbols are processed in one thread.
* The last symbol processing task is processed in the L1 TX thread.
Cleanup common_lib.h
This change reduces the number of dependecies of common_lib.h and simplifies
the task of implementing an external OAI radio library.
Remove a lot of unused code, defines, and config options
Remove unused header files and defines.
Slightly clean up gnb_config.c by removing all _IDX variables. Remove
these unused parameters:
- MACRLCs.[0].num_cc
- MACRLCs.[0].local_n_portc
- MACRLCs.[0].remove_n_portc
- MACRLCs.[0].remote_s_portc
- MACRLCs.[0].remote_s_portd
- L1s.[0].num_cc
- L1s.[0].local_n_portc
Remove the gNB_MAC_INST.eth_params_s, since it's only purpose is to
store what can be on the stack.
For the Aerial log message, don't print an empty prefix but what is
actually used for Aerial.
The indices are brittle and might be wrong. Instead, use the option name
(via gpd()) to look up config options. This will also simplify the
removal of unused parameters, as we don't have to update all indices.
Remove leading CONFIG_STRING_, as it is just repetitive and adds noise.
The constants are both short(er) and sufficiently self-explanatory
without it.
It can happen that a message is delayed, but then no UE is found for
such message, e.g., something is delayed but the UE context is deleted
in the meantime:
[02:23:16.320730] [NR_RRC] I [--] (UE ID 3 RNTI d2b1) Remove UE context
Assertion (ue_context_p) failed!
In rrc_delay_transaction() /oai-ran/openair2/RRC/NR/rrc_gNB.c:191
In that case, don't delay the message further -- all handlers gated by
this function will check for the UE context and abort the transaction if
not present.
It can happen that no PDU session can be setup (e.g., PDU session
already setup). Check that there is at least one before triggering the
message.
Also initialize bearer_req.gNB_cu_cp_ue_id early to avoid uninitialized
IDs (e.g., when no PDU session to be setup).

Fix Delta MCS mode, reimplement UL power control
This change set fixes the "delta-MCS" mode, and reimplements the UL power
control loops at gNB, i.e., for PUSCH and PUCCH. It further adds new T traces
to log PUSCH/PUCCH power infrmation, and cleans up code.
The "delta-MCS" mode in OAI refers to configuring a UE with deltaMCS in the
PUSCH-PowerControl IE (see TS 38.331). In this mode, the UE adjusts the PUSCH
power for transmissions to take into account for MCS (see TS 38.213 Sec. 7.1).
In other words, the target SNR can be set to a somewhat low value, and the UE
will still use the right power for UL transmissions. Note that the spec only
foresees this adjustment of UL power when using one layer. In contrast, in the
"normal" mode, the gNB sends TPC commands to keep a UE at a fixed target SNR
(default: 20dB), regardless of the MCS or number of layers. Future work is
planned to completely remove this fixed target SNR, which is not done in this
MR yet.
Further, there is a new power control loop implementation. Prior to this MR, on
each UL transmissions, the gNB uses the SNR to decide about TPC sent to a UE in
the next transmissions. The new implementation relies on averaging the SNR, and
a "TPC in flight" average to account for the slow reaction of the average SNR.
The sum of both quantities is the current SNR that is used by the UE. See the
commit messages or documentation for more information.
Further cleanup to group data (e.g., power control configuration, refactoring of
code to save space, ...) is done. Two new T traces GNB_MAC_PUSCH_POWER_CONTROL
and GNB_MAC_PUCCH_POWER_CONTROL are added; documentation exists to explain how
to graphically plot corresponding graphs.
Configure DigitalBeamTable in OAI and pass down to Aerial L1
With this MR it will be possible to define a Beamtable in OAI and pass it down
to a L1 (Aerial or OAI) which then will either use them locally to apply
static beamforming (Split 8 with USRP) or pass them down to the RU using 7.2
split with Section Extension 1.
[E2 agent] Refactor E2SM-KPM and implement support for REPORT style 1
- Refactor E2SM-KPM to:
- better handle different supported REPORT styles needed for "E2 Setup
Request"
- pass "Measurement Label" for calculating the measurement values
- Implement Subscription for E2SM-KPM REPORT style 1 and fill the PDSCH MCS
distribution measurement (CARR.PDSCHMCSDist)
- Fix the memory leakage caused by the UEs filtering based on NSSAI for REPORT
style 4
Tested successfully with and without ASan:
- in rfsim mode: gNB-mono, CU/DU and CU-CP/CU-UP/DU
- with the USRP B210: gNB-mono
and xapp_kpm_moni, xapp_rc_moni and xapp_kpm_rc xApps.
1. Allocate memory for the ue_id and ue_info_list arrays on the stack.
Explanation:
Every granularity period, the program passes through the fp_match_cond_type,
then through match_s_nssai_test_cond_type function pointers. Based on the node type,
the function used calloc() for these arrays.
=> the longer a connection with an E2SM-KPM xApp was, the more memory leakage occured.
2. If matched UEs > 0, only free the memory of ue_id content after each
Indication Message was sent.
mac: fixes to prevent prb overlapping
- this patch fixes a bug in the MAC where the scheduled PRB resources can
overlap
- at the same time, we try to enforce the same semantics for "rbStart" (which
should be relative to the BWP) across the code as much as possible
Introduce new data structures to track the average SNR and RSSI, and
that allow to dynamically modify the target SNR (per UE) as well as
continuously get TPC updates based on the average SNR. The target SNR is
per power control loop (which a future commit will extend to use for
PUCCH).
Concretely, it maintains an average of measured SNR and RSSI. It also
updates "tpc_in_flight", which tracks TPC changes that don't show up in
the average yet. For instance, imagine that the target SNR of 15 changes
to 20. Three successive TPC commands need to be sent (+3, +1, +1), but
it will take time to show up in the average SNR. To account for this,
tpc_in_flight is updated by the TPCs sent, and an average will make it
go down back to zero at the same pace as the average SNR approaches the
target SNR. The sum of average SNR and tpc_in_flight sums up to the
actual, current SNR, which approximates the target SNR.
The SNR is kept within -1<=targetSNR<=+2dB to avoid too many TPC
changes.
The current average SNR (sum of average SNR and tpc_in_flight) is used
to continuously get TPC updates, taking into account recent TPCs sent,
the difference to target SNR, and RSSI.
If there is DTX, tpc_in_flight is modified to artificially introduce TPC
commands which increase the currently used SNR of the UE. This is
temporary, as tpc_in_flight eventually will go back to zero. If the DTX
was due to sudden SNR drop (e.g., higher path loss), this will allow to
quickly adapt the UE's SNR to new conditions.
The periodical logs are extended to not only show the current SNR, but
also the difference from the target for better analysis.

The phr_txpower_calc field actually needs to be saved in the HARQ
process for later retrieval, so set sched_pusch after phr_txpower_calc
has been calculated.
UE: update pdcch config only after mib read
- In MR !3929, this change was done to call update_pdcch_config if mac
configuration is changed.
- Observed that the issue related to RAR after handover if SSB position changes
occurs also in develop 2026_w10 where MR !3929 is merged.
- update_pdcch_config should be done only after sync obtained.
- this fix is similar to the fix in initial commits of MR !3929
Remove OSD, some scripts, oaisim references
The README says:
It is just generating the XML file and it is placing it in
$(OPENAIR_TARGETS)/SIMU/EXAMPLE/OSD/WEBXML/ or http://localhost/xmlfile/
so that the oaisim could pars and run the simulation/emulation
oaisim does not exist anymore, and corresponding simulation cannot be done.
Also, it requires XAMPP and similar technologies, that I think nobody uses
in the context of OAI.
Remove also most references to oaisim.
Remove some scripts that are likely not used by anybody, or straight useless.
