This is hack-level development.
With this commit you can do UDP DL traffic of say 100Mb/s over
a 5MHz link with one connected UE and the eNB should not crash
because of memory exhaustion. Of course on the receiver side
you won't get 100Mb/s and many many lost packets. But the system
should not crash. 1Gb/s does not work. So in any case try to
remain within some reasonable limits. There is no reason to
push more than twice the maximum achievable throughput of
the link.
This work is based on a patch proposed by Francesco Gringoli.
Try to merge feature-68-enb-agent into develop
develop should be fast-forwarded later to this branch to complete the merge
This code does not compile yet. Among other things:
- the scheduler structure needs to be reworked for FlexRAN
- the config is structured differently. The files enb_config.{c,h} from develop
have been copied in here, the files with merge annotations are in
enb_config.{c,h}.before_merge
- the restart needs to be restructured, since the PHY vars data structure lives
in RC now
This commit fixes issues introduced by the previous commit.
Summary of work:
- cleanup:
- fix LOG_XX to be less verbose
- fix cmake_targets/CMakeLists.txt
- fix oaienv
- remove dead code
- bug fixes:
- in openair1/SCHED/fapi_l1.c we had:
eNB->pdcch_vars[subframe&1].num_dci = number_dci;
should be:
eNB->pdcch_vars[subframe&1].num_dci = 0;
This bug let the PHY send more DCIs than what should have been
sent because num_dci is incremented later on in the code.
This fix may be a problem for fapi mode, to be checked.
- add new T VCD traces
- revert openair1/PHY/TOOLS/file_output.c to 'develop' version
- remove thread_id in logRecord/logRecord_mt
- revert (and adapt) configuration files
- be careful when doing frame++, we need to % 1024
- revert target_rx_power in openair2/LAYER2/MAC/eNB_scheduler_ulsch.c
- NFAPI:
- the open-nFAPI code has been included in the repository. See nfapi/README.
Maybe we should "git clone" the Cisco repository instead. We have to be
careful of availability though.
What has been tested:
- monolithic eNB FDD 5/10MHz with one UE, iperf UDP/TCP uplink/downlink
Anything else may fail to work, especially the FAPI mode, which has not
been tested at all.
It has been chosen to not include the full history of commits
from David. He included a binary version of wireshark, probably
a modified one that understands NFAPI. Wireshark is released under
the GPL license, we cannot include it in the repository. We could
have done a next commit to remove this binary. But then it would
still be present in the history of commits, which may not be allowed.
And it would take space on disk. We could edit the history to remove
wireshark entirely. But this operation is too complicated.
There was also a pcap capture file, which has nothing to do in
the history of commits and would take space on disk. There again,
it's too difficult to edit the history to remove it.
There was a file .gitignore that was also removed.
The original history can be found on David's repository:
https://gitlab.eurecom.fr/daveprice/openairinterface5g/
The branch is: nfapi-ru-rau-split.
A copy of that branch has been included in the internal OAI
repository, for those who have access to it.
The branch is the same. The last commit ID is
9106438239e0bc626ff1fa1d97d911caadd0fbb9.
You can compare the current commit with the commit 9106...
to see what differs.
The current commit has to be considered non-working.
The commit following the current commit will fix problems with
the work in the current commit.
If you use git bisect, don't spend time analyzing the current
commit.
This tracer extracts the content of a buffer field of an event
that was previously saved using the tracer 'record'.
For example, to extract the channel estimation done in
frame 924 and subframe 2 as saved in the file input_record.raw
and to store it in the file output.raw, do:
./extract -d ../T_messages.txt -o output.raw input_record.raw ENB_PHY_UL_CHANNEL_ESTIMATE chest_t -f frame 924 -f subframe 2
- UE_id 0 is for rnti 65535 (sib)
- UE_id 1 is for rnti 65534 (this is a hack)
- UE_id 2 is for rnti 2 (RA RNTI as of today's code/config)
- we start enb by displaying UE_id 3
- there was a bug: we need to lock when resetting UE ids (reset_ue_ids)
