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.
Remove VCD signal dumper from NR code
We don't test VCD in 5G NR code (and haven't tested it in 4G for years).
Remove the VCD traces in 5G code to avoid any ambiguity. 4G code remains
in place, as well as the tools to analyze existing traces.
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
RRC QoS refactor: PDU Session Modify support, SDAP fixes, and code improvements
The goal of this MR is to prepare the RRC/NGAP layer for the multi-QoS
support. The MR:
- enables PDU Session Resource Modify support in RRC/NGAP/E1AP
- fixes SDAP header mapping
- enables SDAP by default
- refactors QoS flow handling in RRC/NGAP
- improves error handling, and code maintainability in RRC/NGAP
Changes:
- NGAP PDU Session Modify:
* add NGAP PDU Session Resource Modify Request/Response handling with
proper error reporting for unrecognized sessions and AMF UE NGAP ID
validation
- E1AP Bearer Context Modification:
* add DRB To Remove List IE to support DRB release during modify
* rename numQosFlow2Setup to numQosFlowsMod in DRB To Modify List
- RRC QoS flow handling:
* enable multi-QoS flow support per DRB
* add utilities to map NGAP QoS parameters to E1AP
* filter QoS flows by DRB ID
- SDAP configuration:
* Fix SDAP header UL/DL mapping between internal representation and
ASN.1 enum (invert mapping)
* change SDAP header fields from long to bool for clarity
- F1 DRB setup refactoring:
* Extract shared helpers for F1 DRB setup list filling
* reduce duplication between E1 response and direct DRB setup paths
- AMBR management:
* Store AMBR in UE context
* validate AMBR is set before bearer setup
- Configuration:
* remove unused drbs configuration parameter
* enable SDAP by default (change default from false to true)
This commit fixes two related issues:
1. SDAP Header Mapping Bug (cucp_cuup_handler.c):
The original code incorrectly mapped SDAP header configuration from
internal E1AP representation to ASN.1 enum values. The internal
representation (`bearer_context_sdap_config_t`) uses true=present/false=absent,
while ASN.1 enum (`E1AP_SDAP_Configuration_t`) uses
0=present/1=absent. The fix correctly inverts the mapping:
- Internal true (1) → ASN.1 0 (present)
- Internal false (0) → ASN.1 1 (absent)
The commit also clarifies internal representation in the stack.
2. Test Overhead Adjustment (nr-cuup-load-test.c):
The change in (1) led to a failure in nr_cuup_functional_test
with assertion: "size % 4 == 0" in recv_ng()
- Changed UL packet overhead from 3 bytes to 2 bytes in sender_thread()
- Before the SDAP fix, the test incorrectly accounted for 3 bytes:
* 2 bytes PDCP header (correct)
* 1 byte SDAP header (incorrectly included)
- After the SDAP fix, SDAP headers are correctly set to absent, so
only 2 bytes (PDCP header) are needed
This ensures the test sends packets with the correct header size,
matching what CU-UP expects after the SDAP configuration fix.
The load test does not enable SDAP headers, therefore the original 3-byte
overhead was possibly a workaround for the SDAP header bug.
With the bug fixed, the test correctly uses 2-byte overhead (PDCP header).
* Commit applies to Setup Request, CU/DU Configuration Update
* Set standard compliant max number of cells per DU
* Allocate large lists on the heap to prevent stack overflow
due to the large size
* Update relevant free functions
* Also, fix bug in eq_f1ap_cu_configuration_update
Also, improve comments in struct definition.
Implement TS 38.473 transparency for CellGroupConfig forwarding and handle re-establishment on a different DU
This MR implements the following fixes that are relevant in RRC
procedures (e.g. re-establishment, reconfiguration):
1. Transparent CellGroupConfig forwarding
This MR implements TS 38.473 transparency requirements by ensuring that
the CellGroupConfig IE is transparently forwarded from the gNB-DU to the
UE without any re-encoding at the gNB-CU. The CU stores and forwards the
encoded bytes transparently, while the DU is responsible for all
encoding and modifications (e.g., reestablishRLC flags). Motivation
Motivation: The 3GPP TS 38.473 specification mandates that the
CellGroupConfig IE shall be transparently signaled to the UE.
Previously, the CU was re-encoding CellGroupConfig depending on the
scenario, instead of retrieving it from the DU, violating the
transparency requirement. CU may decode for internal use but must not
re-encode for forwarding. Solution
Solution: Core Principle: The CU stores the encoded CellGroupConfig
bytes received from the DU and forwards them directly to the UE without
any re-encoding. The DU handles all encoding and modifications.
Key Changes:
1. Transparent Forwarding in RRC Reconfiguration
- Modified build_RRCReconfiguration_IEs() to use pre-encoded bytes
directly
- Changed parameter from cell_group_config to cgc (encoded byte
array with buffer and size)
2. Encoded Bytes Storage
- Added byte_array_t mcg field to RRC UE structure to store encoded
CellGroupConfig
- Added store_cgc() helper function to save encoded cell group in
the RRC UE Context at gNB (from F1AP messages)
3. DU Encoding Responsibilities
- Add gNB-DU Configuration Query IE support to trigger cgc encoding
to request CellGroupConfig from DU
- DU encodes CellGroupConfig with proper reestablishRLC flags
during re-establishment
- DU removes SRB1 from rlc-BearerToAddModList during
re-establishment (SRB1 re-establishment is done before
RRCReconfiguration)
4. New functions
- Add rrc_detect_reestablishment() function to detect
re-establishment during UE Context Modification
- Extracted rrc_gNB_first_reconfiguration_after_reestablishment()
function to handle first reconfiguration after re-establishment
- Added dump_cgc() and dump_mcg() utility functions for debugging
purposes
5. Re-establishment Flow
- rrc_gNB_process_RRCReestablishmentComplete() requests
CellGroupConfig from DU via gNB_DU_Configuration_Query in UE
Context Modification Request
- DU detects re-establishment and add reestablishRLC IEs
- CU stores encoded CGC from the UE Context Modification Response
and forwards it transparently in subsequent RRC Reconfiguration
Testing
Manual Testing:
- RRC re-establishment procedure completes successfully
- RRC Reconfiguration after re-establishment includes all DU-provided information
Issues fixed
Closes issue #837
2. Trigger UE Context Setup fallback upon reestablishment on DU
different from the original one
As per 38.401 §8.7: if the UE accesses a DU different from the original
one during re-establishment, the CU must trigger UE Context Setup toward
the new DU. This refers to steps 9-10 and steps 9’-10’. Either one or
the other can be executed during re-establishment.
e.g. if this happens during handover, it shall trigger a UE Context
Setup fallback on the CU.
This MR implements the required behavior by:
- Adding a new helper function rrc_handle_f1_ho_reestab_on_target() to
handle F1 handover reestablishment on target DU. The function triggers
UE Context Setup procedure when the UE reestablishes on the target DU
during an ongoing F1 handover.
- Calling this function when detecting that the UE is reestablishing on
the target DU during handover, i.e.: (1) from
handle_rrcReestablishmentComplete(), as per 38.401 §8.7, NOTE on steps
9-10: CU gets UL RRC MESSAGE TRANSFER from a DU different than the
original (2) from rrc_CU_process_ue_modification_required, as per
38.401 §8.7, NOTE on steps 9'-10': CU gets a UE CONTEXT MODIFICATION
REQUIRED from a DU different from the original one.
Also:
- add helper rrc_fill_f1_ue_context_setup and adopt it in handover
- move DRB list filler fill_drb_to_be_setup into rrc_gNB.c and rename it
rrc_fill_f1_drb_to_setup for consistency
See also TS 38.401 Figure 8.7-1 "RRC connection reestablishment
procedure" for reference
3. DU: Handle missing old UE context in DL RRC Message Transfer
During F1 handover reestablishment, the CU may forward a DL RRC Message
Transfer to the target DU with old_gNB_DU_ue_id included, even though
the target DU does not have the old UE context yet.
The code previously used AssertFatal when the old UE context was not
found, causing a crash: "CU claims we should know UE %04x, but we don't"
According to TS 38.473, the gNB-DU shall release the old gNB-DU UE F1AP ID only:
> if the gNB-DU identifies the UE-associated logical F1-connection If
> there is no matching connection, there is nothing to release.
Fix:
- Check if old UE context exists before accessing it
- If old UE does not exist, log error, clean up any stale F1 UE data,
and return early (do not deliver RRC message since reestablishment
can't be completed)
The goal is to address a recurrent issue in the F1 pipeline, see
jenkins-oai.eurecom.fr/job/RAN-SA-Handover-CN5G/514:
Assertion (oldUE) failed!
In dl_rrc_message_transfer() /oai-ran/openair2/LAYER2/NR_MAC_gNB/mac_rrc_dl_handler.c:956
CU claims we should know UE 35ce, but we don't
During F1 handover reestablishment, the CU may forward a DL RRC
Message Transfer to the target DU with old_gNB_DU_ue_id included,
even though the target DU does not have the old UE context yet.
The code previously used AssertFatal when the old UE context was
not found, causing a crash: CU claims we should know UE %04x, but we don't
According to TS 38.473, the gNB-DU shall release the old gNB-DU UE
F1AP ID only "if the gNB-DU identifies the UE-associated logical
F1-connection". If there is no matching connection, there is nothing
to release.
However, the primary purpose of DL RRC MESSAGE TRANSFER is to deliver
the RRC message to the UE. The RRC message delivery is independent of
whether the old UE context can be retrieved. Per TS 38.473, the RRC
message must be delivered to the new UE regardless of old context
retrieval status.
Additionally, per TS 38.331 5.3.7.2 and 5.3.7.4, during reestablishment:
- The UE releases spCellConfig, which must be removed from CellGroupConfig
- SRB1 RLC must be reconfigured with specific parameters
These operations are required for the new UE during reestablishment and
are independent of whether the old UE context can be retrieved.
Fixes:
- Check if old UE context exists before accessing it
- If old UE does not exist, log error and clean up any stale F1 UE data,
but continue to deliver the RRC message
- Restructure code so context transfer only happens when oldUE exists
- Keep GTP-U update and RLC context transfer inside oldUE check (they
require old UE context to exist)
- Move spCellConfig handling and reestablish_rlc flag to execute
regardless during re-establishemnt (per TS 38.331 5.3.7.2)
- Move SRB1 RLC reconfiguration outside the oldUE check so it executes
regardless during re-establishment (per TS 38.331 5.3.7.4)
- Add function documentation and improve spec references in comments
As per TS 38.401 §8.7: if the UE accesses a DU different from the original
one during re-establishment, the CU must trigger UE Context Setup toward
the new DU. This refers to steps 9-10 and steps 9'-10'. Either one or the
other can be executed during re-establishment.
e.g. if this happens during F1 handover, it shall trigger a
UE Context Setup fallback on the CU.
This commit implements the required behavior:
1. Detection mechanism:
- Add `old_du_assoc_id` field to `f1_ue_data_t` to store the original
DU association ID
- At RRCReestablishmentRequest: Store original `du_assoc_id` in
`old_du_assoc_id` and update `du_assoc_id` to the new DU
- At RRCReestablishmentComplete: Compare `old_du_assoc_id` with the
`assoc_id` from the Complete message to detect different DU
2. UE Context Setup trigger:
- In `rrc_gNB_process_RRCReestablishmentComplete()`: When different DU
is detected, call `rrc_f1_ue_context_setup_for_target_du()` to trigger
UE Context Setup procedure (per TS 38.401 §8.7, NOTE on steps 9-10)
upon reception of UL RRC MESSAGE TRANSFER
- In `rrc_CU_process_ue_modification_required()`: Refuse UE Context
Modification Required when `old_du_assoc_id != 0` to avoid conflicts
with the ongoing UE Context Setup procedure (per TS 38.401 §8.7, NOTE
on steps 9'-10')
3. UE Context Setup:
- Replace `clone_CellGroupConfig()` with `get_cellgroup_config()` in
UE Context Setup handler
- Call `update_cellgroup_for_reestablishment()` during UE Context Setup
when `reestablish_rlc` flag is set to prepare CellGroupConfig with
reestablishRLC flags
- Clean up `old_du_assoc_id` in `rrc_CU_process_ue_context_setup_response()`
- Add `free_ue_context_mod_req()` call after UE Context Modification request
4. Function signature updates:
- Update `handle_rrcReestablishmentComplete()` to accept `gNB_DU_ue_id`
and `assoc_id` parameters, change return type from `int` to `void`
- Update `rrc_gNB_process_RRCReestablishmentComplete()` to accept
`assoc_id` parameter
- Update `rrc_gNB_decode_dcch()` to accept and forward `assoc_id` parameter
Re-establishment on different DU flow (TS 38.401 §8.7, steps 9-10):
1. UE sends RRCReestablishmentRequest to new DU
2. DU forwards to CU via UL RRC MESSAGE TRANSFER
3. CU detects different DU (`assoc_id != ue_data.du_assoc_id`):
- Stores `old_du_assoc_id = ue_data.du_assoc_id` (original DU)
- Updates `ue_data.du_assoc_id = assoc_id` (new DU)
4. CU sends RRCReestablishment to UE
5. UE sends RRCReestablishmentComplete to new DU
6. DU forwards to CU via UL RRC MESSAGE TRANSFER
7. CU detects different DU scenario (with old_du_assoc_id):
- Triggers UE Context Setup Request to new DU via `rrc_f1_ue_context_setup_for_target_du()`
8. DU receives UE Context Setup Request:
- Detects re-establishment (`UE->reestablish_rlc` flag)
- Calls `update_cellgroup_for_reestablishment()` to set reestablishRLC flags
- Encodes CellGroupConfig with reestablishRLC flags and sends to CU
9. CU receives UE Context Setup Response:
- Stores encoded CellGroupConfig
- Clears `old_du_assoc_id = 0`
10. CU sends RRC Reconfiguration with transparent CellGroupConfig to UE
This commit implements transparent forwarding of CellGroupConfig
as required by TS 38.473, eliminating CU-side decode/re-encode
cycles that violate transparency requirements.
Main Design Change:
- Before: CU decoded CellGroupConfig from DU, stored in the UE
context then re-encoded when sending to UE. CU constructed
new CellGroupConfig after RRCReestablishmentComplete.
- After: CU requests CellGroupConfig from DU via UE Context Modification
Request with `gNB_DU_Configuration_Query=true`, DU sends CellGroupConfig
which CU stores as encoded `byte_array_t` and forwards transparently
via reconfiguration without decode/re-encode cycles
To this purpose, all decode operations of CellGroupConfig were removed
from DU and all encode operations were removed from the CU.
Key Changes:
CU:
- Replace NR_CellGroupConfig_t* masterCellGroup with byte_array_t mcg in
gNB_RRC_UE_t for storing encoded CellGroupConfig
- Rename cell_group_config to cgc in nr_rrc_reconfig_param_t for brevity
- Implement transparent forwarding in build_RRCReconfiguration_IEs()
- Add helper functions:
- `store_cgc()` to store encoded bytes
- `get_meas_gap_config()`: Decode MeasGapConfig from DU to CU response
- `rrc_detect_reestablishment()` to detect re-establishment by decoding
temporarily (only for detection)
- Remove legacy decode/re-encode paths in RRC message generation
- Update all CellGroupConfig storage to use encoded bytes
- Update reconfiguration generation to accept is_reestablishment parameter
DU:
- Add `get_cellgroup_config()` to select source (CellGroup vs reconfigCellGroup)
based on re-establishment state
- Add re-establishment detection logic in `ue_context_modification_request()`
- Add `update_cellgroup_for_reestablishment()` to set reestablishRLC flags and
remove SRB1 from bearer list
- When `gNB_DU_Configuration_Query` is present and re-establishment detected:
- Clones from reconfigCellGroup (which contains spCellConfig) instead of
CellGroup (where spCellConfig was removed)
- Sets `reestablishRLC` flags for all bearers except SRB1
- Removes SRB1 from bearer list (already re-established)
Data Structure Changes:
- gNB_RRC_UE_t: Add byte_array_t mcg field
- nr_rrc_reconfig_param_t: Change cell_group_config to cgc (byte_array_t*)
- Remove masterCellGroup field usage in favor of encoded mcg
New re-establishment flow:
1. UE sends RRCReestablishmentRequest
2. CU processes -> sends RRCReestablishment
3. CU sends RRCReestablishmentComplete
4. CU sends UE Context Modification Request to DU with `gNB_DU_Configuration_Query=true`
5. DU detects re-establishment (`UE->reestablish_rlc && UE->reconfigCellGroup != NULL`):
- Clones `UE->reconfigCellGroup` -> `new_CellGroup` (contains spCellConfig)
- Sets `reestablishRLC` flags for all bearers except SRB1
- Removes SRB1 from bearer list (already re-established)
- Encodes `new_CellGroup` and sends to CU
6. CU receives encoded CellGroupConfig -> stores in `UE->mcg` via `store_cgc()`
7. CU detects re-establishment via `rrc_detect_reestablishment()`
8. CU calls `rrc_gNB_generate_dedicatedRRCReconfiguration()` with `is_reestablishment=true`:
- Creates SRB/DRB lists with re-establishment flags
- Generates RRC Reconfiguration with transparent CellGroupConfig
- Sends to UE
Why spCellConfig must be added in the DU in case of re-establishment:
With transparent forwarding, CU requests CellGroupConfig from DU instead
of constructing it. During re-establishment, DU's runtime CellGroup has
spCellConfig = NULL (removed per TS 38.331 §5.3.7.2). However, for the
gNB_DU_Configuration_Query response, DU must provide a complete CellGroupConfig
including spCellConfig. Therefore, DU restores spCellConfig by encoding
reconfigCellGroup (with the original spCellConfig) in CellGroupConfig.
In the old design CU constructed CellGroupConfig itself in
`rrc_gNB_process_RRCReestablishmentComplete()` and used `spCellConfig`
from its stored `masterCellGroup`.
Closes#837
Apply CGC encoding through GNB-DU Configuration Query. This applies to the
pdu session release path (rrc_gNB_send_f1_drb_release_request) and E1 bearer
mod / DRB add+release path (rrc_gNB_generate_UeContextModificationRequest).
This is necessary to implement 3GPP TS 38.473 requirement for
gNB-DU Configuration Query IE in UE Context Modification Request:
"If the GNB-DU Configuration Query IE is contained in the UE CONTEXT
MODIFICATION REQUEST message, gNB-DU shall include the CellGroupConfig
IE in the DU To CU RRC Information IE in the UE CONTEXT MODIFICATION
RESPONSE message."
i.e.: The DU sends the CGC only when this IE is enabled in the REQ
message from the CU. The only other scenario according to the same
specs is when the Full Configuration IE is present. Outside of these
two cases, CGC shall not be sent.
semi-manual remove of not used #define commands
As i was upset to see all these #define with no code under, i made a
global pass to remove the obvious cases semi-manual remove of not used
bodies
manual script, then a lot of manual review
grep -IRs "#define" ../openair* ../common/* ../executables/ ../nfapi/ ../radio/ | \
fgrep -v '(' | fgrep -v '//' |awk '{print $2}' | egrep -v "#define *$n"| \
while read n ; do
grep -IRs $n ../openair* ../common/* ../executables/ ../nfapi/ ../radio/ | grep -v "#define *$n" | grep -q $n || echo $n;
done
will give a decent list of #define never used. Then, I think we should
keep lists of # define when it comes from standards, even if the code
doesn't use it right now
Add Ethernet PDU session support and make PDU session request configurable
This MR adds support for Ethernet PDU sessions, and makes PDU sessions
configurable: per-PDU session ID, type (IPv4/IPv4v6/IPv6/Ethernet [1]),
DNN, NSSAI.
Concretely, it adds a new configuration file section pdu_sessions below
uicc0 that looks like this if everything is specified (default values
are shown):
uicc0:
[...]
pdu_sessions:
- id: 1
type: "IPv4"
nssai_sst: 1
nssai_sd: 0xffffff
dnn: "oai"
It is possible to list multiple PDU sessions (add new line - id: 2 to
request a second PDU session). It is backwards-compatible to the current
PDU session configuration (uicc0.dnn/nssai_sst/etc), the idea being that
either legacy or new configuration could be used, but (1) if
pdu_sessions exist, it will overwrite the legacy configuration, and (2)
multiple PDU sessions, and type, can only be configured using the new
config. The old parameters --extra-pdu-id and --default-pdu-id are not
accepted anymore. Documentation has been added to the UE tutorial.
It is possible to test an Ethernet PDU session [1]. It is possible to
test the PDU session inside the UE by verifying it has an TAP interface
oaitap_ue1, and ARPing the data network (arping has been added to
oai-nr-ue container for that purpose):
ip addr add 192.168.72.140/26 dev oaitap_ue1 # same subnet as data network!
ip link set dev oaitap_ue1 up
arping -c 20 -I oaitap_ue1 192.168.72.135 # will send ARP request in Ethernet frame to get IP address of data network
[1] See description MR !3769 for more information. On the UE side, only
the type has to be changed to "Ethernet".
NR UE: add support for multiple RF frontends
This MR adds basic support for multiple RF-frontends at the UE.
There are multiple reasons why we might want this:
1. There might be different antennas needed for different bands (e.g. NTN or
TN antennas). These antennas might be connected to different RF-frontends.
In case of Handover, the UE needs to dynamically switch between these
RF-frontends.
2. Each rf-simulator connection carries baseband I/Q samples. To be able to
perform a handover between two cells at different frequencies, there must
be two rf-simulator connections, as the baseband channels should not
interfere and thus cannot simply be added.
3. When we want to support multiple UE simulation within one instance of
nr-uesoftmodem, and allow multiple cells and probably even handover between
these cells, we need either:
1. dedicated RF-frontends for each simulated UE, or
2. dedicated RF-frontends for each connected cell and dynamically assign
simulated UEs accordingly.
This MR implements what is needed for 1., 2. and 3.1.
Use nr_get_csi_measurements() function to get CSI report for PUCCH and
UCI on PUSCH.
Harmonize filling csi report for UCI on PUSCH for periodic and aperiodic
CSI reports.
Extract the common RRC container handling logic from
ue_context_setup_request() and ue_context_modification_request() into
a new static function handle_ue_context_rrc_container().
This refactoring:
- Eliminates code duplication between the two functions
- Centralizes RRC container forwarding logic
- Improves code maintainability and consistency
Extract common CellGroupConfig encoding logic from
ue_context_setup_request() and ue_context_modification_request() into
encode_cellgroup_config().
Replace uper_encode_to_buffer() with uper_encode_to_new_buffer() to:
- Remove 1024-byte buffer size limit
- Automatically allocate correct buffer size
- Simplify code (no manual bit-to-byte conversion)
- Align with other protocol encoders
When processing UL RRC messages from PDCP, the DU association ID (assoc_id)
was not being propagated to RRC, resulting in assoc_id being 0 in
rrc_gNB_decode_dcch.
Fix by setting originInstance in the ITTI message header to the stored
du_assoc_id from ue_data when PDCP creates the F1AP_UL_RRC_MESSAGE.
NR gNB handling TCI state indication for beam switching
This MR implements the procedure to send in DLSCH MAC-CE for TCI state
indication to UE
- if new beam is reported via SSB RSRP, gNB allocates MAC-CE with TCI
indication
- DLSCH is scheduled to be transmitted with priority
- a timer is started when receiving ACK according to the delay mandated
by standard (8.10.3 of 38.133)
- at timer expiry the gNB switches beam
Check for PDSCH overlapping CORESET during RA
CORESET 0 is configured in the configuration file by
'initialDLBWPcontrolResourceSetZero' and PDSCH TDA list is configured based on
the current BWP size.
It may happen that the user configures a 2 symbol CORESET 0 for a BWP >= 48 PRBs
(which is a valid 3GPP configuration) but in function 'nr_rrc_config_dl_tda'
this scenario is not taken in account causing an overlap between PDSCH and PDCCH
symbols during RA.
This leads to very unreliable Msg2 and Msg4 decoding at the UE, but from time to
time it succeeds, which becomes hard to identify this issue.

NR UE: add neighboring cell measurements and measurement report of event A3
This is a rework of MR !2385 (closed), the goal is to add neighboring cell
measurements and measurement report of event A3 for NR UE.
This MR was tested with:
- 3rd-party gNB
- 2 OAI-gNB-DUs
The neighboring cell measurements and measurement report of event A3 for OAI-UE
are working as expected.
CORESET 0 is configured in the configuration file by 'initialDLBWPcontrolResourceSetZero' and PDSCH TDA list is configured based on the current BWP size.
It may happen that the user configures a 2 symbol CORESET 0 for a BWP >= 48 PRBs (which is a valid 3GPP configuration) but in function 'nr_rrc_config_dl_tda' this scenario is not taken in account causing an overlap between PDSCH and PDCCH symbols.
This leads to very unreliable Msg2 and Msg4 decoding at the UE, but from time to time it succeeds, which becomes hard to identify this issue.
