Currently, NR PDCP ticks are active only with monolithic gNB, triggered by the MAC scheduler in gNB_scheduler.c.
In F1 split mode, as there is no MAC, there’s no source to advance the NR PDCP timer via "nr_pdcp_wakeup_timer_thread()".
This commit introduces a dedicated thread for NR PDCP ticks in gNB-CU and CU-UP mode.
Without it, packet losses at the F1 uplink would cause indefinite buffering, as t-Reordering won't expire due to the lack of NR PDCP timer ticks.
- refactor nr_fill_nfapi_dl_SIB_pdu to use it on both SIB1 and OtherSI
- extract tbs related calculations into function get_tbs to avoid duplicates
- moved OtherSI search space initializations to nr_mac_config_scc
Before this bug fix, when using F1, we get this warning:
Constraint validation failed: LCID: constraint failed (/home/richie/openairinterface5g/cmake_targets/ran_build/build/openair2/F1AP/MESSAGES/F1AP_LCID.c:30)
This is because (1) we don't actually store the LCID, then (2) we did
not put it into the F1 ASN.1 structures. Fix both, to make this warning
disappear.
To actually print the full error message, increase the error buffer
size. Also, for the future, to avoid guessing, print ASN.1 XML when we
encounter a failed constraint validation.
The failure mode observed here was that the CU sent a release command
for a UE that the DU does not know. Given, that the outcome of the
release command (no UE) is equal to the current state (no UE), from
the DU point of view, we can safely ack the command.
- Enabled configuration for number of dl, ul harq processes in conf file
- set "num_dlharq = 32; num_ulharq = 32;" under "gNBs" section in the conf file
- default values when not configured is 16 for DL, UL harq processes
- IEs in the RRC messages set according to the number of DL, UL harq processes configured.
- If value 32 is configured , then IEs related to num harq processes and dci bits also configured in Bandwidth parts.
38.473 requires to reset UE-related contexts in F1 Setup Request, so do
it.
However, avoid resetting UE states in phy_test: it has preconfigured UE
which we should not reset. Note that if NSA/phy-test used F1, we could
likely reset the UE state here, as the F1 UE context setup would come
afterwards.
This assert and assumption is incorrect, according to 38.101-1 UE channel is defined only by the BWP size
and BWP size can be any value supported by the RRC parameters defining the BWP.
To determine the UE channel the smallest bandwidth supporting the BWP is selected. This is an assumption based
on references in the same document to UE channel bandwidth being equal to one of the values in set
{5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 35, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80, 90, 100}.
Also:
- calculated P_CMIN during BWP setup since the parameter doesn't depend on DCI.
- initiialize uniqCfg structure in test_nr_ue_power_procedures main function which enables LOG prints during tests
The next commit implements the release of all UEs following the F1 Reset
message. It uses nr_mac_release_ue(), which as of now, triggered a
release complete message automatically, which we don't want in the case
of F1 Reset.
This commit refactors the code to split UE release at MAC/RLC and
release complete message sending to allow to release UEs without sending
the complete. Corresponding users are updated.
sched_ul_bytes is reduced already in case the last HARQ round fails through handle_nr_ul_harq() -> abort_nr_ul_harq().
Therefore, the reduction in nr_rx_sdu() is wrong, and btw. it wrongly assumes the max. UL HARQ rounds to 4.
So simply remove this peace of code in nr_rx_sdu().
sched_ul_bytes tracks the volume of in-flight data.
When data is successfully received, sched_ul_bytes is decreased in nr_rx_sdu().
In case of reusing HARQ processes, the tb_size stored there is not correct.
Therefore use the actual SDU size instead.
