Some CI users (OAI developers) expressed that the warning of the `docker
volume prune` before starting RFsim is confusing. To avoid the warning in
the HTML, force the removal; if the volume does not exist, no warning is
emitted.
To still catch possible problems, do not do this in the `terminate.xml`
so we might still see if there are other problems.
Ensure that the UE has an IP address before continuing the test.
Otherwise, it might happen we ping before the UE is connected.
Do not do this in do-ra and phytest, as they use --noS1, which implies
statically assigned IP address, so IP address check always succeeds(!).
Make RFsim start up faster by starting core and RAN start at the same
time. This speeds up because we do not wait for "healthy" containers
serially, but parallely.
For the RAN, it is safe to start gNB and UE at the same time in SA mode
(as the UE will only attach once the radio, and hence the full gNB, is
ready).
We do not start in parallel in do-ra and phytest, as in these modes the
gNB first has to write a UE-specific configuration file. If we start
both gNB and UE at the same time, the UE might try to read the file
before it is written, leading to a failure.
PUSCH decoding is started multiple times in nr_ulsch_procedures() for
each ULSCH segment, and stopped once inside
phy_procedures_gNB_uespec_RX(). Not only is it not clear if that works
with the API, it also might measure more than just PUSCH decoding.
Remove the PUSCH decoding, it is misleading. Check L1 RX processing
instead.
The CI would only detect a deviation from the normalized value based on
a configurable threshold, typically 1.25 (so we would tolerate a 25%
increase). However, it often happens that a timing gets shorter (e.g.,
forgot to put the timing measurements). This commit introduces a
"Deviation Threshold" (smaller than 1) to not only check that we exceed
1.0 + "Deviation Threshold" (as before), but also that are not below 1.0
- "Deviation Threshold".
In other words, assuming a maximum divergence of 25%, instead of just
checking if val > 1.25, we now also check if val < 0.75 (and flag
error).
- show MAC bytes in one line
- add MCS table idx
- show ulsch errors before ulsch DTX (as in DL)
- show if UE in-sync/out-of-sync
- show CU UE ID next to RNTI to stats
Since we modify the format of the statistics, fix the format in the retx
checkers of the CI.
Subsequent pipelines can/might use the ran-base image. Further, before
building a new ran-base image, we delete it. Hence, it suffices to only
delete the image when necessary (before building a new one), and
otherwise leave the current (develop, ci-temp) ran-base image.
The 5G-RFsim F1 test tested multiple DUs at one CU. This
functionality is retained in the new F1+E1 test.
The 5G-RFsim E1 test tested a single CU-UP at a single CU-CP. Here, we
extend to use multiple CU-UPs, one for each DU. The associated is
ensured by using three different F1-U transport networks, one for each
DU/CU-UP pair.
- Test only one DU at the CU (3 DUs is tested in F1+E1)
- Harmonize IP configuration to make it simpler to reuse in the F1+E1
test
- Speed up the test by reducing the number of steps to deploy core/RAN
- Add traffic test
- new cu and du config files for testing in band 1
- modification of yml file for CU DU deployment - with new config files
- modification of xml file for SA F1 testcase
