nFAPI: make 4-layer on 100MHz work
5G nFAPI headers specify 32 bits for the length field, so use it also
when segmenting messages. This should stabilize 4-layer MIMO operation
on 100MHz with nFAPI.
Deadlock avoidance in rfsimulator
This change introduces a countermeasure for deadlock in rfsimulator. The
deadlock happens when all entities are waiting for new data to come in,
and happens with 2+ clients, when a new client connects. I think this
issue is due to ordering of fullwrite calls, resulting in out-of-order
delivery of packets and eventually trashing the packets on the receiving
side. The out-of-order delivery warnings are printed just before the
system deadlocks but I have not found a better solution so far. The
workaround makes the server never lock up permanently by ignoring the
client failure to write on time after 10 tries.
This was tested locally for both UE as server and gNB as server and
works correctly, causing the deadlock to clear and the added log to be
printed several times when the deadlock is detected, after which the
system goes back to normal.
I have some gdb output of the executables during deadlock:
UE:
$7 = {conn_sock = 98, lastReceivedTS = 3226163740, headerMode = true, trashingPacket = false, th = {size = 13184, nbAnt = 1, timestamp = 3226150556, option_value = 0, option_flag = 0}, transferPtr = 0x7f6a500018a8 "\200\063", remainToTransfer = 24,
circularBufEnd = 0x7f6a503b3ac0 "", circularBuf = 0x7f6a501f1ac0, channel_model = 0x0}

As you can see all executables are in have_to_wait state.
Make the same change as in parent commit, i.e., write the full 32-bit
segment size.
I could not test this, as we do not reach these rx_data.indication
length. It's based on the fix in the parent commit, and to avoid future
bad surprises.
The 5G nFAPI message length is 32bits. In particular tx_data.requests
can be longer than 64kB. When segmenting, we should correctly write the
message of the current segment (across all 32bits), because the
length would interpreted wrongly otherwise.
This fixes a bug in which tx_data.requests were discarded for 4-layer DL
MIMO on 100 MHz with this message:
P7 unpack message length is greater than the message buffer
Further, increase the type of various (segment-related) variables to 32
bits. Currently, the maximum segment size is sxt to 65000 bytes (and in
will likely remain, because the maximum UDP size is 65536);
nevertheless, increase it in case we will ever go beyond this.

65000")
Simplify usage of the old segment decoding libraries with the slot coding interface
This MR transforms the segment coding libraries into slot coding
libraries by statically linking the adaptation layer and the segment
coding libraries.
Therefore they can be used directly in ldpctest which uses the segment
coding interface as well as in all the other PHY simulators and the NR
softmodem which use the slot coding interface.
It is not anymore needed to use the
--nrLDPC_coding_segment.segment_shlibversion
flag. Instead a segment coding library can be directly chosen with
--loader.ldpc.shlibversion
since it implements the slot coding interface.

Downgrade gNB power limit LOG from "warning" to "debug"
Downgrade the UE power limited LOG from LOG_W to LOG_D. This is to avoid
flooding stdout when UE in low coverage enters power limited state for a
longer period of time. The same information can be inferred from the
periodic UE print which also contains PH value (negative PH values
indicate that the UE is power limited)
Also, correct some typos in PH calculation.

Changes to support multiple TDD patterns
- Updated the configuration changes for 2 Patterns
- Update the TDD table configuration for NFAPI
- Added the tdd bitmap for the period
- Adapted the bitmap for UL/DL for the multi TDD pattern
- Updated the RACH procedure for multi TDD pattern
- Updated DL and UL scheduler for multi TDD pattern
Parametrized JenkinsNode and JenkinsResource
Parametrized variables in Jenkinsfile for automated tests on Colosseum
after update of OAI Jenkins server.
NAS 5GS refactor
The goal of this MR is to reorganize the NR NAS code into:
- enc/dec library functions (5GS, 5GMM, 5GSM, NR_NAS_defs.h,
nr_fgs_nas_lib.c)
- handlers and callbacks (nr_nas_msg.c)
The following changes are introduced:
1. migrate 5GS enc/dec lib (5GMM and 5GSM) to a dedicated folder
2. add a nested CMakeLists structure
3. refactor NR NAS enc/dec functions
4. refactor NR NAS messages struct definitions
5. remove most of dependency from NAS LTE
6. further refactor of PDU Session Establishment Accept processing to
separate enc/dec from handling
7. made naming of 5GS definitions consistent whenever necessary
8. cleanup unused code
9. remove redundant struct definitions
Also:
1. fix decoding of AMF Set ID in 5G-S-TMSI UE identity
2. replace Byte_t directly with uint8_t
FHI72: fix for a distributed antenna array for xran F release
in the Rx callback I reset the number of section descriptions/number of
fragments to 0, but for each antenna up to max number of antennas per
RU, instead of up to max number of distributed antenna array
* Remove the ulsch_slot_bitmap and dlsch_slot_bitmap from nrmac
* Adopt the new is_dl_slot/is_ul_slot functions in the stack
to replace is_xlsch_in_slot: these functions are getting
the DL and UL slots as they are set in the TDD configuration
stored in tdd_slot_bitmap (frame_structure_t)
* Keep is_xlsch_in_slot in openair2/LAYER2/NR_MAC_gNB/gNB_scheduler_phytest.c:
this is necessary because the phy-test pre-processors are using the bitmaps
dlsch_slot_bitmap and ulsch_slot_bitmap to check which DL/UL slots to use
for transmission among those set in the TDD configuration

previously we had decodeRegistrationAccept acting as a handler and calling
decode_registration_accept to do the decoding. However the logic was mixed
between the two functions, the naming was confusing and the code was hard
understand. The goal of this commit is to simplify the code, improve
readability and maintainability, while adapting the relevant function
to the new OAI NAS libs structure.
To this purpose:
* move enc/dec logic to NAS lib openair3/NAS/NR_UE/5GS/5GMM/MSG/RegistrationAccept.c -
the logic of parse_allowed_nssai, get_allowed_nssai has been moved to
decode_registration_accept and decode_nssai_ie
* add decode_nssai_ie and use it for both Allowed/Configured NSSAIs list (IE handling was added)
* do processing in the handler handle_registration_accept
* simplify the code by removing nested calls
* improve handling of PDU length
Currently only Registration Result, 5GS Mobile Identity, Allowed/Configured NSSAI
are decoded. The other optional IEIs are skipped (only the length is processed).

Ensure execution of processSlotTX in order in NR UE
Make sure that processSlotTX is executed in slot order.
There is a bug that causes decoding error when processSlotTX is executed
out of order. The root cause is not known at this point, but this change
avoids the bug altogether.
Add IQ file recording and IQ file viewer to ImScope
This changeset introduces the following changes to ImScope:
- Added the ability to record IQ data using the same mechanism as
ImScope.
- Added a new executable target imscope_iq_file_viewer for viewing IQ
files.
- Introduced a command line argument --imscope-record that enables data
recording mode.
- Refactored a lot of the scope code
Usage:
- To record IQ data, run a modem with --imscope-record flag. The
recording happens whenever a modem calls dumpScopeData, which
currently is done only in gNB on PUSCH DTX and PUSCH CRC NOK. There
is a limit of ~1GB of files written by the thread in a signle run to
avoid accidentally exhausting disk space. If a directory imscope-dump
is available the data will be recorded there in .imscope files.
Otherwise files are written to the directory the modem was run. This
is done so that the directory can be mapped in a docker container.
- To view recorded IQ files, use the new executable
imscope_iq_file_viewer. This can be done by running:
./imscope_iq_file_viewer <path_to_iq_file>
Replace <path_to_iq_file> with the path to the IQ file you want to view.
Dockerized development environment
This commit introduces a fully dockerized dev env you can start on any
machine that has docker without installing any direct OAI dependencies
on host.
This allows to migrate development environments between machines easily.
Several complementary scripts were added to enable smooth transition
between your docker environment and host environment. Your user and sudo
should work inside the environment.
In its current state, the environment can be used to compile
nr-softmodem with 7.2 FHI but it cannot run it due to missing
dependencies.
