This completely removes the UESIM_EXPANSION define: it does not compile
at the moment. Its function was to multiplex multiple UEs on the same
TUN interface. However, this functionality is not needed since it is
possible to allocate many TUN devices (i.e., >= 32).
Various mutexes are present in the phy_stub_UE.c file. However, it will
only be run in a single thread; the multiple-thread implementation also
runs the higher layers concurrently, which leads to races and segfaults.
Therefore, remove these mutexes, as we don't need them.
Integration 2020 wk40 comprises the following udpates:
MR893 ULSCH decode mthread:
- Enabled parallelization of ULSCH segments decoding, deinterleaving and rx rate matching.
MR896 Nsa remove band hardcodings:
- A missing commit from wk39, just a log change
MR901 NR UE DCI improvements:
- Handling of DCI formats 0_0 and 0_1, including removing hard-coding and scheduling PUSCH with DCI parameters
- Blind decoding of DCIs based on size and format indicator
- Fix for segmentation fault during ULSCH encoding
MR895 support of RA procedure by implementing Msg3 on UE
MR908 NR DL scheduler improvements:
Preliminary work on the DL scheduler
- cleanup of DL scheduler, add interface preprocessor-postprocessor (`NR_UE_sched_ctrl_t`)
- postprocessor can handle multiple UEs. Preprocessor will follow soon (proportional fair scheduler)
- No MAC UE Context creation before end of RA (Msg 3)
These updates do not change anything performance wise (no additional scheduled slots, etc).
This MR also reduces gNB log.
-Since the aim of itti RRC_SUBFRAME_PROCESS message (MAC->RRC) is to trigger an itti X2AP_SUBFRAME_PROCESS message (RRC->X2AP), avoid creating
RRC_SUBFRAME_PROCESS message if x2ap task is not enabled. Not sure if this is the best solution. We could also avoid only sending the second itti X2AP_SUBFRAME_PROCESS message.
