Add gold sequence cache with dynamic size, private to each thread. It
periodically reorders by call rate. To free the gold sequences after end
of life time of a thread, use the pthread API.
Add ulsch decoding measurements, which are reported by nr_ulsim. Start ulsch_decoding_stats measurement before
nr_ulsch_decoding is called and stop it after collection of all decoder tasks from Tpool. In the context of nr_ulsim,
ULSCH_id is allways == 0, testing is performed per one TB, therefore measurement is started and stopped only once per trial.
Reported ulsch decoding statistics show the mean ulsch decoding time over x trials (specified by -n command line option of nr_ulsim).
This measurement does not provide valid information in case of nr-softmodem, when the loop is done over multiple ULSCH IDs -
start of the measurement is done multiple times and stops only once in this case.
For unitary physical simulators, ULSCH processing loop is executed only once
- the max number of PUSCH is set to 1. This ensures exactly one start and stop
of the ULSCH decoding time measurement per processed TB.
Note: ulsch decoding statistics reports average time of segmentation, rate matching, interleaving and decoding of the TB
We observe these asserts while running concurrent UL traffic on many
UEs:
Assertion (crc->rnti == rx->rnti) failed!
In handle_nr_ulsch() ../../../openair2/NR_PHY_INTERFACE/NR_IF_Module.c:193
mis-match between CRC RNTI 7221 and RX RNTI 35cf
CRC and RX indication need to be pairwise for one UE, when here we have
each for different UE. However, investigation seemed to indicate that
both arrays for CRC and RX indication contained only one PDU; it seemed
the RNTI changed while writing the CRC/RX.indication messages in
nr_fill_indication().
In this patch, we change the logic to mark a ULSCH free AFTER calling
nr_fill_indication(). It is difficult to say if this makes the assertion
disappear, but preliminary tests did not exhibit the same failure
states.
Closes#773
nr_fill_indication() fills CRC and RX requests, to be sent from L1 to
L2. Before this commit, nr_fill_indication() is called when
- we finally decoded LDPC (or not)
- low signal on PUSCH
This might happen at the same time, i.e., nr_fill_indication() might try
to fill both CRC and RX, in the same list, from different threads. This
can lead to this assertion:
Assertion (crc->rnti == rx->rnti) failed!
In handle_nr_ulsch() ../../../openair2/NR_PHY_INTERFACE/NR_IF_Module.c:190
mis-match between CRC RNTI e071 and RX RNTI 5e3b
e.g., e071 is low energy, and while 5e3b related message are filled in
one thread, e071 is being put into the message structure as well.
At least that is my understanding. I could not actually reproduce this
assertion; to be seen if it still happens.

PUSCH decoding is started multiple times in nr_ulsch_procedures() for
each ULSCH segment, and stopped once inside
phy_procedures_gNB_uespec_RX(). Not only is it not clear if that works
with the API, it also might measure more than just PUSCH decoding.
Remove the PUSCH decoding, it is misleading. Check L1 RX processing
instead.
This commit introduces a separate thread (l1_tx_thread) that processes
gNB DL/TX slots. It receives a message from the ru_thread when a new
slot started, and starts processing.
The DL part of the scheduler is run in the l1_tx_thread. Therefore,
only call UL indication (for scheduler) in UL slots. The UL indication
previously triggered the DL scheduler -- hence, it had to be called in
every slot. Now, since the DL scheduler is moved into the DL thread, we
don't have to call the scheduler in every slot anymore.
The reorder thread is removed, as reordering with this scheme is not
necessary anymore.
The main advantage of this version is that the TX can be scheduled
earlier (sl_ahead). Further, there can no longer be race conditions in
the TX path, since the scheduler/L2, TX L1 processing and the RU tx
function are all execute in the same thread (L1_tX_thread).
Also, the scheduler prepares PRACH/PUSCH/PUCCH FAPI PDUs. As of this
commit, the scheduler runs in the TX processing chain, whereas these
PDUs are destined for RX processing. Thus, too avoid data races,
instead of triggering the RX processing at the same time as TX
processing in the RU thread, this commit changes the code to trigger RX
processing after the scheduler has been run in TX processing to avoid
data races.
Finally, we synchronize RU and L1 threads. This is important for
rfsimulator, since unlike most radios, rfsimulator can run slower or
faster, depending on I/O and CPU (it does not have a stable "tick").

Reformat code to properly copy memory if we skip precoding.
precoding_stats timing is not part of ru->feptx_ofdm, but
ru->feptx_prec, so always print it.
Previously, in order to speed up processing if precoding is disabled, we
just copy the pointer from txdataF to txdataF_BF, as opposed to do a
full memcpy() to duplicate the data. The same happens if we cannot have
precoding, i.e., in SISO. This has implications such as memory leaks,
which is why this is not being done. However, the code comment is
intentionally placed there.
For 7.2 FH, some RUs do phase compensation, whereas for others, the DU
does it. In fact, this can be "negotiated" using the M plane. Since we
don't have the M plane yet, add a configuration option to set where
phase compensation is performed.
