This refactors the preprocessor. The new preprocessor implements the
same scheduling strategy (Modified Round-Robin: give resources according
to round-robin, then group) but should be fairer by changing every time
the RR start UE (i.e., 1st TTI UE 0 starts, 2nd TTI UE 1, etc) when the
UE number is not a divisor/multiple of the RBG size (and the last RBG is
often smaller). This also removes all unneeded code of the preprocessor
such as allocate(), positioning(), etc.
* do not check rlc_ind()
* Simplify retransmission part and remove nb_rb_available var
* Simplify new transmission code
* Simplify fill_DLSCH_dci(), avoid unnecessary copies
* fix: first check No. RBs, then check CCE alloc
store_dlsch_buffer() puts the RLC buffer status results in the
UE_TEMPLATE, which is per-CC. Since the DLSCH scheduler works per-CC,
too, we pass the right CC. However, this is not strictly necessary, as
we could do this once before every CC, and it might be updated.
UE_list_t is now used as a separate list. It can be e.g. used in the
scheduler to mark groups of users. The original UE_list_t is renamed to
UE_info_t to reflect that it is a container for information about UEs.
* Simplify store_dlsch_buffer()
* Simplify assign_rbs_required()
* Simplify dlsch_scheduler_pre_processor_partitioning()
* Simplify dlsch_scheduler_pre_processor_accounting() and dlsch_scheduler_pre_processor_accounting_allocate()
* Simplify allocation printing
The original functions used in the fairRR scheduler have been moved to
eNB_scheduler_fairRR
* Remove MIMO_mode_indicator: it is simply not used ATM
* Remove min_rb_unit as parameter: function auto-detects
* Remove commented code
* Remove slice sharing/multiplexing: it is broken
* Remove UE sorting, add UE with add_new_ue() in MAC
- UE sorting is useless overhead on every iteration, instead it should
be governed by a scheduling algorithm (e.g., RR or PF)
- The MAC keeps a UE list and automatically adds a UE
- UE_list empty, set head to -1
* Remove slice_positioning: the slicing functionality is broken
* Remove unused/untested code
M3AP ASN1 source spec updated

- size of PUCCH has been fixed to:
- 2 RBs for N_RB_UL = 25 (1 RB at top of resource grid, 1 RB at bottom)
- 4 RBs for N_RB_UL = 50
- 6 RBs for N_RB_UL = 100
this is arbitrary and will need some rework at some point.
This may be also wrong. PUCCH size actually depends on DL traffic
(if the ack/nack is not done in PUSCH) and scheduling request
configurations.
- add sched_frame %= 1024 at one needed place
- reserve RBs for retransmission
this was not done so new transmissions were scheduled in the same
RBs. Since the code works with the notion of 'first_rb' only, it
was decided to skip all RBs lower than those retransmitted. This
works but is not correct (imagine we have to retransmit RB 23, then
all RBs < 23 will not be used for new transmission). The work to
fix this properly is complex, a lot has to change, so let's do it
this simple way for now.
- sort_ue_ul was not correct
- add the function maxround_ul to use the correct 'round' (the one
from DL was used, which is totally wrong)
- be sure to use the correct frame/subframe to get the correct HARQ pid
