- if RU(s) are not well configured, disconnect immediately and stop the DU
- if all RUs are well configured, proceed with waiting until ready. The RU is
ready when the carriers are activated. Either the RU already has preconfigured
carriers (previous M-plane client configured), or the DU has to wait until receives
the notifications.
Ideally, we should load the yang models from the RU operational datastore, but the issues are following:
1) the yang models order is not good - dependancy models have to be loaded first
2) earlier O-RAN yang versions (e.g. v4) is not properly defined (i.e. optional parameters should not be included by default)
Added support in both cases, loading from RU with <get-schema> RPC, and loading statically from "radio/fhi_72/mplane/yang/models" folder.
- cmake version 3.12 defines libxml2 module; the default path is
/usr/share/cmake-3.<sub-version>/Modules/FindLibXml2.cmake
- OAI requires minimum cmake version 3.16
- RU IP address - to connect to RUs via netconf
- DU MAC address - for setting up the CU-planes on RU; not used in xran
- VLAN tag (*) - for setting up the CU-planes on RU; not used in xran
- DU keypair - for authentication when connecting to RU(s)
The parameters that RU-controller shall retreive from RU list of
capabilities:
- MTU
- compression
- RU MAC address
- PRACH offset (**)
(*) VLAN tag is not used in xran but an option is given in fh_config struct.
In my opinion, it is not a very suitable place, as it is needed for VFs.
Therefore, I moved it in the initialization part for M-plane purposes.
(**) PRACH offset shall be >= max(Ntx,Nrx), as per O-RAN CUS specification:
"The O-DU may decide to use same eAxC ID value to address endpoints on different O-RUs,
but eAxC ID values assigned to one O-RU must be unique within the O-RU’s endpoints of same direction."
=> however, LITEON supports flexible assignment of PRACH eAxC IDs, so
we made a workaround in the xran library to support PRACH eAxC IDs same
as PUSCH eAxC IDs.

NR build improvements
This MR is an attempt to improve compilation of NR softmodems by
removing some of NR-LTE cross-compilation (at the cost of a small dummy
file for nr-softmodem) and one small gNB-NRUE cross-compilation.
Fix ULSCH ID type to handle large max_nb_pusch values (ULSCH procedures)
The ULSCH_id variable is currently defined as uint8_t, which limits its
range to 0-255. However, gNB->max_nb_pusch can exceed this range
depending on the configuration (buffer_ul_slots and
MAX_MOBILES_PER_GNB). This can lead to incorrect behavior or undefined
results when max_nb_pusch is larger than 255. This commit changes the
type of ULSCH_id from uint8_t to int to accommodate larger values of
max_nb_pusch.
The issue was observed when running the OAI gNB with MAX_MOBILES_PER_GNB
set to 64 UEs. The root cause was traced back to the changes to UL
processing introduced in !2952.
Change to bool for clarity. The log message would sometimes only show up
at the end, which is misleading; use the logging module, which
harmonizes log statements and should make this appear immediately.
We still do not handle RUs with MTUs of 1500 properly in F release;
therefore, for the close future, we cannot remove support for E release.
Also, it "promises" this for January, which is in the past already.
Update to keep the warning logical.
remove ul_ch_estimates_time to save memory
remove ul_ch_estimates_time that saves 50MB memory to access in RAM, and
make better quality scope data passing (no race)
Add support for ARM build pipeline
Modify the existing python code to be able to build images where the
image tag can be prepended with a prefix, here arm_. This is preparatory
work to create the ARM build image pipeline, and reuse the existing
internal registry on porcepix to have x86 and ARM images coexist.
Fix various bugs in the build system to allow to build on a system with
as many cores as gracehopper.
Also, fix two programs (usim, nvram) to work correctly under ARM.
Miscelaneous improvements in PHY simulators
1: Add a SIGINT handler to NR PHY simulators
When using T2 virtual functions, it is important to properly stop DPDK
and free the device. Otherwise the virtual functions may be blocked and
a restart of the admin application is necessary.
If not carefully done, such kind of operation can lead to losing cores
to DPDK processes that cannot be stopped. This can lead to situations
where the machine is locked and can only be unlocked by a power cycle.
Always properly stopping DPDK and freeing the device reduces the risk of
such situation to happen.
Up to now, SIGINT was shutting down the PHY simulators without freeing
the device. This commit adds a signal handler to handle SIGINT in a way
that allow to properly free the device.
This feature is added to all the NR PHY simulators whether they use T2
or not in case it is now or later of any use.
2: Make nr_ulschsim functional
There were two issues that were making nr_ulschsim non functional:
1. The channel output was not copied to decoder input (llr array)
2. The test on decoding successful outcome was wrong
The result was that nr_ulschsim was succesfull whatever were its
arguments. This changeset fixes the two issues so that nr_ulschsim is
now functional.
Harmonize and update Frequency Range computation to the current values
specified by the standard
3GPP TS 38.101-1 Version 19.0.0 Table 5.1-1: Definition of frequency
ranges
- FR1 from 410 MHz to 7125 MHz
- FR2 from 24.25 GHz to 71 GHz
1. Change the name of `openair1/SIMULATION/NR_PHY/nr_dummy_functions.c` into `openair1/SIMULATION/NR_PHY/nr_unitary_common.c` for naming coherence after adding the SIGINT handler which is not a dummy function.
2. Instead of being built once for every NR PHY simulators, the common functions source file is built once as an object and linked to each simulator.
