When the program exits it has to stop the streaming of the USRP.
The function exit_fun is supposed to do that. When quitting with
control+c (very common case) this function is not called. The
code is very unclear there, so let's add a stop_rf in the RU,
as there is already a start_rf.
If we don't call trx_end_func, then at the next run the USRP
device may be in an unstable state and behave improperly.
If the program crashes then the USRP device may be in an
unstable state. The only solution to this problem is to reset
the USRP device.
Maybe there is a way to clean the state of the device when we
open it, before we start using it. Sort of a cleanup before
use. That could be a better solution to "bad state after program
crash".
What has been tested:
- monolithic eNB only
The one in lte-enb.c disrupts the realtime. Using a B200mini with
20MHz bandwidth leads to the UE unable to connect for it seesms like
the UL and DL are not properly time synched because of this sleep
of one second that happens after the USRP streaming has started.
We see some random access attempts but the decoded preamble is
wrong.
This may be dependant on the setup. I had sporadic errors with
a B210, where sometimes the UE could connect and sometimes not.
- add function free_td() -> complements init_td() [seems to not be used, added
for completeness]
- add function free_td8() -> undoes init_td8() [free memory of 8-bit LLR Turbo
decoder]
- add function free_td16() -> undoes init_td16() [free memory of 16-bit LLR
Turbo decoder]
- change function free_tdavx216() -> undoes init_tdavx216() [free memory of
16-bit LLR Turbo decoder, AVX2 version]
- add free_lte_top() -> frees memory allocated by init_lte_top()
- change free_ul_ref_sigs() to set freed pointers to NULL
- add method free_transport() -> frees memory of ULSCH/DLSCH transport channels
- use the above functions when stopping/restarting the lte-softmodem
Through configuration, the lte-softmodem can be halted to await a
reconfiguration from the lte-softmodem. A mutex and condition variable are used
to implement this.
Furthermore, the dependance of lte-softmodem.c on FlexRAN has been reduced to
one include and the flexran_agent_start() call.
- add set_function_spec_param() which configures RU_t instance depending on its
function(al split)
- export more functions like kill_RU_proc() so that they can be reused by
restart functionality
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.
