Remove OSD, some scripts, oaisim references
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.
Remove also most references to oaisim.
Remove some scripts that are likely not used by anybody, or straight useless.
Bugfix: make longer telnet cmdfunc names
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.

Added NTN-FR2 FDD bands defined in release 18 in Ka-band range
* NTN-FR2 bands 510, 511, 512 added. TS 38.101-5 v 18.9 defines these 3 FR2-FDD
bands for NTN operation.
* These bands are defined in Ka band range (17.3Ghz - 31Ghz).
* Tested using the added conf files using RFSIM and GEO configuration.
* There were some inconsistencies observed when testing with RFSimulator before UE
Syncs to the gNB in terms of samples being written for FR2 configurations. Once
the UE syncs, the inconsistencies disappear.
* this is the problem - UE writes incorrect number of samples and gNB complains
about getting samples in past
* The above inconsistencies were also fixed in this merge request.
* These commits solving above inconsistencies were removed from this MR and a
different MR was raised. MR with those commits: !3928.
Even though the NR ARFCN uses a 15 kHz raster until 24250 MHz,
the ssb_offset_point_a is still scaled by 60 kHz for FR2.
So we need two different scaling factors.
NTN-FR2 bands 510, 511, 512 added.

UL STEPSIZE, UL NOFFS added into band table
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.
Remove L1 dependence from NR band number
L1 band information relied on get_band function that couldn't provide an
unambiguous result. Also there is no SCF compliant parameter for L1 and
generally we don't really need that information in L1.
The MR also remove a RU section that used nr_band but was never really
accessed in NR.
IPV6 support for telnet socket binding
Now, the listening telnet socket is only bound to the dedicated interface IPs in
config file, both for V4 and V6
Closes#834
Prior to this commit, constants NB_ANTENNAS_RX/TX are provided on the
command line to each compiler invocation. This has the drawback (1) that
also files that don't need that get the constants, and (2) it is not
easy to find them using ctags or similar, as the only definition is in
CMakeLists.txt (where it is not found).
In this commit, use cmake configure_file() to write a header file with
these constants. The file will be generated during cmake invocation, and
written to <build-dir>/common/cmake_defs.h. The relevant files that
need this definition will pick it from the header.
This has been used previously also in a commit to write git information.

Fail early if configuration module can not initialize properly
In the case that the config module cannot load the driver for libconfig or yaml,
currently, there might be a cascade of errors that are difficult for users to
understand. For instance (partially redacted for clarity):
[CONFIG] Error calling dlopen(libparams_libconfig.so): libparams_libconfig.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
[CONFIG] config module "libconfig" couldn't be loaded
[CONFIG] config_get, section log_config skipped, config module not properly initialized
[LOG] init aborted, configuration couldn't be performed
[CONFIG] config_get, section (null) skipped, config module not properly initialized
[CONFIG] /home/francesco/openairinterface5g/common/config/config_userapi.c 68 nfapi has no processed integer availablle
[CONFIG] config_get, section (null) skipped, config module not properly initialized
Assertion (get_softmodem_params()->default_pdu_session_id == -1) failed!
In get_common_options() /home/francesco/openairinterface5g/executables/softmodem-common.c:161
Use uicc0.pdu_sessions.[0].id to change the requested PDU session ID (is 0)
Here, the error is the missing shared object, but a user is more likely to look
at the last error instead of the first.
This commit addresses it by checking early for CONFIG_ISFLAGSET(CONFIG_ABORT),
and stopping if it is set. Additionally changes include making functions static,
removing late CONFIG_ISFLAGSET() checks, and the CONFIG_ISFLAGSET() in
load_configmodule(), because at that time "uniqCfg" is not set yet and thus does
not do anything (this is likely a regression of an earlier cleanup).

NR Paging on CU
Implements the NR paging path on the CU:
- NGAP Paging is decoded and passed to RRC
- RRC builds F1AP Paging, and distributes it to DUs via F1 callback
Changes:
- Refactor and extend F1AP Paging encode/decode libraries
* add missing enc/dec/eq/cp functions
* add unit test
* IEs: CN UE 5G-S-TMSI, RAN UE I-RNTI; optional DRX/priority/origin)
- Refactor CU callback CU_send_Paging
- Refactor DU handler DU_handle_Paging
- Refactor old F1 callback for Paging indication, extend it and align
with existing F1 callbacks in stack
- Refactor and extend NGAP Paging encode/decode lib
* add missing enc/dec/eq/cp functions
* add unit test
* Fixes NGAP paging to accept Paging only on SCTP stream 0 per TS
38.412
- Includes supporting refactors (PDU session split, shared 5G-S-TMSI
helpers, NGAP/F1AP cleanups)
Testing
- NGAP and F1AP Paging lib unit tests (enc/dec)
- Stream-0 fix validated with Open5GS AMF
This MR does not address the DU changes besides the F1 handler. F1AP
Paging does not have an RRC container to pass the PCCH message to the
DU, and F1 DL RRC Message Transfer does not apply to PCCH. PCCH-Message
shall be built at DU per TS 38.331 §5.3.2, with padding as per §8.5 and
delivered as RLC SDU per §8.2. For each cell in Paging Cell List that
belongs to this DU, queue for MAC. MAC schedules at PF/PO per TS 38.304
§7.

TO_ENUM/TO_TEXT are already used in NAS, and can be adopted in NGAP.
To avoid duplication, the following changes are introduced:
* Move text_info_t, TO_ENUM, TO_TEXT to common/utils/utils.h
* Include utils.h include to ngap_messages_types.h, fgs_nas_utils.h, and fgmm_lib.h
* RRC establishment cause: refactor to FOREACH_RRC_ESTABLISHMENT_CAUSE macro
* Cause Group: refactor to FOREACH_CAUSE_GROUP macro
* Radio Network Cause: refactor to FOREACH_CAUSE_RADIO_NETWORK macro
* Protocol Cause: refactor to FOREACH_CAUSE_PROTOCOL macro
This change is preparatory to the introduction the paging lib with unit
tests, with the goal of reducing the inter-dependency between concurrent
NGAP libs.
This commit centralizes equality-check behavior and removes duplicated
macro implementations across protocol stacks.
Major changes:
- add `common/utils/eq_check.h` with shared `_EQ_CHECK_*`,
`EQ_CHECK_GENERIC`, and optional-IE pointer helpers
- replace E1AP/F1AP/NAS local equality macros and call sites with
the shared helpers
- remove duplicated layer-specific error/equality macro definitions from
common headers and switch includes to `eq_check.h`
- update CMake test flags to define `ENABLE_TESTS` for `e1ap_lib`,
and 5GS NAS libraries; drop `E1AP_LOG_ERRORS` - equality-check/error
printing is now consistently controlled by `ENABLE_TESTS`
Centralizes 5G-S-TMSI bit manipulation logic for consistency and
maintainability. All manual bit operations replaced with documented
helper functions following TS 23.003 bit layout specification.
- Add helper functions for 5G-S-TMSI operations:
* nr_construct_5g_s_tmsi_part1: 5G-S-TMSI construction is defined
in 3GPP TS 23.003 and relevant at both gNB and UE side
* Add helper functions to be later used in NG Paging
* Adopt in NAS UE
* nr_extract_5g_s_tmsi_part1() - extract Part1 (39 bits) from full
* nr_extract_5g_s_tmsi_part2() - extract Part2 (9 bits) from full
* nr_build_full_5g_s_tmsi() - reconstruct full from Part1+Part2
* nr_deconstruct_5g_s_tmsi() - deconstruct into components
- Refactor manual bit manipulation to use helper functions:
* asn1_msg.c: use nr_extract_5g_s_tmsi_part1() in RRCSetupRequest
* asn1_msg.c: use nr_extract_5g_s_tmsi_part2() in RRCSetupComplete
* rrc_gNB.c: use nr_build_full_5g_s_tmsi() when reconstructing from parts
* rrc_gNB.c: use nr_deconstruct_5g_s_tmsi() when extracting components
- Optimize nr_construct_5g_s_tmsi_part1() to reuse extract function
When outputting to a file, typing ctrl+c exits the program without calling
fclose(), leading to loss of traces in the output file.
Let's intercept ctrl+c and exit gently, calling fclose().
Cleanup Cmake: remove some double compilation
Harmonize some cmake code to avoid double compilation, notably around
polar and smallblock. In develop, we just add their sources to other
targets, whereas now we define STATIC libraries (further changed to
shared library in !3856) to avoid double compilation.
With this command line:
cmake .. -GNinja -DENABLE_TESTS=ON && ninja
shows that before we compile 12631 files, where after it is 12583
there is additional supporting cleanup (move code, remove headers,
types, ...).
there is more harmonization to do, I limited myself to some easy wins.
For instance, we do the same with PDCP/SDAP, and this should be
refactored into STATIC libraries as well.
RRC: Multi-cell handling architecture
This MR implements a foundational multi-cell handling architecture for
RRC by separating DU management from cell management and establishing a
hierarchical cell organization within each DU container. The changes
enable proper multi-cell support where each DU can serve multiple cells,
addressing the previous limitation where DU and cell management were
tightly coupled with the assumption of one cell per DU.
Key Changes:
- Data Structure Separation: Separated for DU containers (DU-specific
info) from cell containers (cell-specific data)
- Global DU and Cell Trees: Cells are now stored in global RB trees in
RRC, similarly to DUs
- Du-specific cell seq_arr: within each DU container (du->cells) is
stored a seq_arr of cells belonging to the DU
- UE Cell Association Framework: Introduced serving_cells array to track
PCell and SCells for each UE with servCellIndex indexing
- Cell Management Library: Extracted cell management functions into
rrc_cell_management.c/h for better testability and maintainability
Other relevant changes:
- F1AP Refactoring: cell list definitions, heap allocation to prevent
stack overflow
- 5G-S-TMSI Helpers: Common helper functions for 3GPP TS 23.003
compliant construction
- Integration Tests: Comprehensive test suite for DU lookup, cell
lookup, and UE cell association
- Cell Duplication Checks: Validation in F1 DU configuration update to
prevent duplicate cells
- Documentation: Updated RRC developer documentation with multi-cell
architecture details
Validated with RFsim in re-establishment and handover scenarios.
reversing bits is not NR specific. Think of it like this: LTE code might
use reverse_bits*() as well, but in the old location, it would pull in a
bunch of NR dependencies that are superfluous.
In this case, there are a number of linker errors:
/usr/bin/ld: libL2_NR.a(rrc_gNB.c.o): in function `nr_rrc_transfer_protected_rrc_message':
/home/richie/oai/openair2/RRC/NR/rrc_gNB.c:330:(.text+0x6f6): undefined reference to `signal_rrc_msg'
However, nr_srssim does not need RRC, while it is being linked in. Thus,
link without nr_rrc and L2. For the remaining two linker problems:
- provide a definition of NR_IF_Module_init() as in most other
simulators
- move rrc_get_max_nr_csrs() to nr_common.c. It is already declared in
the corresponding header, and itself does not have anything to do with
RRC radio configuration, therefore it does not belong to
nr_radio_config.c
Finalize the migration from single-cell-per-DU to the multi-cell
architecture: remove legacy DU/cell fields and refactor RRC procedures
to use cell containers and UE serving cells instead of DU-based lookups.
Data structure changes:
- Remove nr_cellid from gNB_RRC_UE_t; cell identity comes from the UE's
serving_cells (PCell entry via ue_get_pcell_entry(ue)). UE_LOG_ARGS
and LOG_UE_* macros take a PCell entry pointer for null-safe cell_id
in logs; all call sites pass ue_get_pcell_entry(ue).
- Remove setup_req, mib, sib1, mtc from nr_rrc_du_container_t (held in
cell containers); remove nr_cellid from gNB_RRC_INST and its
assignment in gnb_config.c.
Function and signature updates:
- get_ssb_arfcn(): take cell container instead of DU.
- label_intra_frequency_neighbours(): drop du parameter, use cell only.
- Handover: Handover context (source and target) now stores cell
pointers (source->cell, target->cell) instead of DU pointers. When
the context is created (N2: on Handover Request; F1: in
nr_rrc_trigger_f1_ho), the target cell is set in ho_context->target->cell
and, for F1, the source cell in ho_context->source->cell.
nr_initiate_handover() takes only source_cell and reads the target
from ho_ctx->target->cell, so it no longer takes a target parameter.
The target is known at handover creation time, while the UE’s
serving_cells are only updated after F1 UE Context Setup Response.
- nr_rrc_trigger_f1_ho() and the N2 handover path pass cell pointers
and set ho_context->target->cell (and for F1, source->cell) when
the handover is triggered.
Procedure refactoring:
- Lookups: replace get_du_by_cell_id() with get_cell_by_cell_id()/
get_cell_by_pci(); remove get_du_by_cell_id() and
get_cell_information_by_phycellId().
Rationale: cell-specific data (MIB, SIB1, mtc, info) now lives in
cell containers, and a DU can host multiple cells. Callers need the
cell (to use cell->info, cell->mtc, etc.), not the DU. Looking up
by cell_id therefore returns the cell container
(get_cell_by_cell_id()); when the DU is needed, use
cell->assoc_id and get_du_by_assoc_id(). Looking up by PCI is
scoped (e.g. get_cell_by_pci_for_du() for a given DU, or via the
UE’s serving cells) because PCI is not globally unique.
- Setup/Reestablishment: resolve cell, register as PCell via
rrc_add_ue_serving_cell(); reestablishment resolves cell by PCI
(rrc_get_cell_by_pci_for_du), then rrc_remove_ue_scells_from_du +
rrc_add_ue_serving_cell; validate_ue_cell_association() after update.
- Measurement config: use cell->info (SCS/band) and cell->mtc.
- Handover: use cell containers end-to-end; after UE context
modification response call nr_rrc_update_cell_assoc_after_ho().
- NGAP: cell_id and TAC from UE PCell via rrc_get_pcell_for_ue();
Handover Notify: get cell for message content, use get_du_for_ue() for
DU existence check; paging resolves UE by 5G-S-TMSI-Part1 and uses that
UE's PCell (rrc_get_pcell_for_ue) for F1AP_PAGING_IND nr_cellid.
Performance and robustness:
- Use rrc_get_pcell_for_ue() when cell data is needed; use
get_du_for_ue() when only the DU is needed (F1/N2 HO trigger,
Handover Notify DU check) for efficiency.
- Reestablishment: remove old PCell before adding new; error handling
for PCell add and validation.
Code cleanup:
- F1 setup: stop copying/storing setup request in DU container; F1
disconnect only frees cell containers via rrc_free_cell_container().
- dump_du_info(): iterate du->cells and show all cells per DU.
- telnetsrv_ci.c: use du->gNB_DU_id directly and fix format (%ld).
- UeContextSetupRequest servCellIndex set to RRC_PCELL_INDEX; remove
servCellIndex from F1AP UE context modification request.
