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).
Split out to make a standalone NTN configuratio page that would be
easier to find. I only modify the headings in the new file and write an
introductory sentence of the tutorial, the rest is unchanged.

Do not limit DL power, because it is not done in the other pipelines
either. Set the UL target power high, as this increases the achievable
throughput high (PUCCH can be normal). Finally, increase BLER thresholds
to improve the MCS a bit.
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.
xran needs to be informed about the cores to use for packet processing.
Prior to this change, we only filled the first 64bits, but it can go up
to 128 in xran. Change the helper accordingly to support all.
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.
Notably, remove asn_codecs_prim_xer.h from the list of files, triggering
problems when re-running ninja, because the "canonical OAI asn1c"
(https://github.com/mouse07410/asn1c, commit ID
940dd5fa9f3917913fd487b13dfddfacd0ded06e) does not generate it:
ninja explain: output openair2/XNAP/MESSAGES/asn_codecs_prim_xer.h doesn't exist
In this version, a couple of files are not generated, so remove them
from the list.
Also, leave the files in the order as shown by ls.

The maximum number of cmdfunc names is 20, which IMO is too low. Worse,
if it's longer, nothing will warn us because C will just fill the array
to it's end (without \0 at the end). To remedy this:
- Allow longer names till 64 bytes (I hit the previous limit of 20)
- Check that the name is within the length limit: if somebody wants a
very long name, the strnlen() will return the maximum length, hitting
that assertion.
- When reading a command during runtime, allow the corresponding maximum
length.
On that occasion, also increase total number of permitted cmdfuncs.
The original error was simply "failed to write to RF", which is not very
precise. Update with sample numbers for context, and add it in another
similar case for consistency.

At least writerProcessWaitingQueue() checks for the exact number of
samples written. In many other places, we check that the return is
non-zero.
The usrp-tx-write-thread functionality returned 0, which triggers
various problems. Return the number of samples, as in the "direct write"
case (if-block before else-block).

Adds the API, which will always prepend a 3 byte header before writing a
PDU. This can be used to call less often into RLC, and avoid potential
locking.
The API is used at the gNB DLSCH scheduler. Also, this removes the
"overhead" calculation: since we fill the entire TB at once, RLC will
leave space for headers as necessary.
This extends the functionality provided by record in that it allows
collection of data into a Clickhouse database, allowing aggregation of
data from gNB and UE for functions like channel estimation for PUSCH
transmissions that did not decode successfully at the gNB.
It is intended to be used in conjunction with Aerial Data Lake but is
not limited to it. Data access is simpler than in !3462, but could be
improved using the metadata approach from !3462.
The integration uses logfmt for fast logging, and a clickhouse DB
client, both integrated using CPM.
This change set also adds a docker-compose file for a UE on 100MHz, to
be used with Aerial configurations, and builds the tracer for Aerial and
nrUE docker files.
Ubuntu 20 is EOL [1] unless people pay for support. Therefore, remove it
from build_helper. People can still use it, but might need to install a
more recent cmake version (which the next commit will upgrade). The rest
should be the same.

[CI] Pull Ubuntu base image from internal registry
This MR updates the Docker build process for OAI images to use a private
registry for the Ubuntu base image ubuntu:noble. This will reduce the
possibility for CI disruption if no internet connection exists.
- Replace FROM ubuntu:noble with FROM <DEFAULT_REGISTRY>/ubuntu:noble in Ubuntu Dockerfiles
This change overcomes the pull rate limit issues from DockerHub in the
CI.
The <DEFAULT_REGISTRY> contains a multi-architecture image (arm64 and
amd64)
$ docker buildx imagetools inspect gracehopper3-oai.sboai.cs.eurecom.fr/ubuntu:noble | grep Platform
Platform: linux/amd64
Platform: linux/arm64
- The scripts run from the jenkins server everyday using a crontab.
- It pulls the AMD and ARM ubuntu:noble image on respective servers and
checks if the internal registry is in sync.
- If not, it pushes the ubuntu:noble image to the registry to remain in
sync with dockerhub.
It was initially foreseen to just check the program exit code, but most
executables don't return with 0 (so the CI would always fail). Add a
separate check that will check for the Bye., only going through the last
X lines instead of the entire file.
- we agreed to basically throw away the old log checker (as it is
unmaintainable)
- now: provide list of analysis to do
* all checkers in cls_log_analysis, can be unit tested (see also next
commit)
* looked up dynamically to simplify adding of new tests + config
* configured with
<analysis>
<services>DESCRIPTION [DESCRIPTION...]</services>
<service>DESCRIPTION</service>
...
</analysis>
where DESCRIPTION follows service=func[=options]:
- service is name of service to check
- func is function to call, which receives filename
- option are arbitary options to pass to func
<services> is whitespace delimited (so can take multiple service
analysis definitions)
<service> exists to allow service definitions with whitespace
changes that would not work in <services>
- I initially planned to check return code, but most softmodems actually
exit with non-zero return code, so this is still TODO
- Default analyzer (checking for assertions, ...) is always run if a
service is listed
- checks for file size
- add unit tests
- it is spaghetti code: difficult to understand which code paths are
taken
- the only effect seems to be in the UE log analysis function: it might
make the log fail. However, we test that iperf is successful
(Iperf2_Unidir()), and would detect before the log analysis if MBMS
traffic does not work
- the rest is only messages that likely nobody reads
The real reason for this change is to reduce the number of class members
in the ran.py class, to simplify the functioning of the eNB analysis
function (no self) to reduce dependencies on the ran.py class.
set -e makes the script exit on error. However, there is code to handle
a non-zero return code of the script, and -e prevents from writing the
footer.
add set -x to see all the commands that are being executed.
