The CN team would like to test the ethernet PDU session capabilities of
the UPF. Install arping in the UE by default for ubuntu to help them
test the PDU session by pinging over ARP.
Look up the index of a PDU session in the list of PDU sessions upon
accept to determine if the PDU session is the default (first PDU
session) or not. If it is the default, it will not append a suffix to
the interface name (oaitun_ueY), otherwise append the PDU session ID
(e.g., for 5: oaitun_ueYp5).
Use the new PDU session configuration functionality of the parent
commit. It is now possible to request multiple PDU sessions, and to
request specific PDU session types. While the new uicc0.pdu_sessions is
preferred, it is still possible to use the "legacy"
uicc0.dnn/nssai_sst/nssai_sd.
The old parameters --default-pdu-id and --extra-pdu-id are not allowed
anymore, as it is possible to manually define this in the UE
configuration. Correspondingly, fix the use of those options, where
applicable.
Note: since the default_pdu_id is changed to -1, all interface names
will have pX to interface names appended (oaitun_ue1pX). The next commit
will correct this.
When writing dummy data or reading to trash, we don't need to allocate data buffers for each antenna.
We can allocate just for one antenna and use this buffer for each antenna.
This feature shall allow in future to simulate an arbitratry number of UEs connected to an other arbitrary number of cells.
Therefore each RF-frontend (also called RU) needs to be configured for one specific cell.
In case of handover of a UE from one cell to another cell, it needs to switch RUs accordingly (TODO).
There has to be a 1-to-1 mapping between RUs and cells.
Each UE will be assigned to one of the defined cells.
Initially all UEs are assigned to cell 0.
UE support to send CSI report on PUSCH
Earlier work on UCI on PUSCH implemented only ACK/NACK. This MR extends that
to send CSI report too.
This branch is verified with MATLAB implementation for multiplexing CSI part 1
and part 2 on PUSCH. It is also verified with srsRAN gNB which successfully
decodes CSI part 1 on PUSCH.
Fix RSRP overflow
If UE L1 measure an RSRP = 0 it would report to L2 and RSRP value of -INT_MAX
dBm causing overflow in the qsort to determine the best RSRPs
The global variable rx_gain_off was always 0.0, as it was not even modified by the NR UE command line parameter --ue-rxgain-off.
That command line parameter modified only a parameter in the struct nrUE_params_t, which was not used at all and is removed in this commit, too.
Also, the global variable rx_gain_off was just added to rx_total_gain_dB and subtracted from it again in nr_rf_card_config_gain().
So we simplify that function slightly, too.
Clear memory in shm_td_iq_channel after RX
Clear memory in shm_td_iq_channel after RX. This prevents the IQ
from being read twice. This can happen if the application crashes
and will keep the other side reading historical IQ samples.
Update vrtsim timing job thread
List of changes:
- avoid calculating accumulated rounding error by calculating absolute
sample index based on CLOCK_REALTIME every time.
- use threadCreate instead of plain pthread_create which assigns a unique
thread name and simplifies debugging
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
- Add function documentation blocks for `rrc_fill_f1_ue_context_setup`,
`rrc_f1_ue_context_setup_for_target_du`, and `rrc_f1_ue_context_setup_from_e1_response`
explaining their purpose, parameters, and usage scenarios
- Add inline comments throughout these functions
Improve maintainability by centralizing common F1AP UE context setup
logic into reusable helper functions, enabling consistent handling
and clear serving/target DU entry points for different scenarios.
Code duplication prevention is a beneficial side effect, since at
least one helper function is adopted in subsequent commits.
Major changes:
- Move DRB list filler from external file into rrc_gNB.c and rename
fill_drb_to_be_setup to rrc_fill_f1_drb_to_setup for naming
consistency
- Add static helper rrc_fill_f1_ue_context_setup to populate common
fields shared between serving DU and target DU scenarios:
- Rename rrc_gNB_generate_UeContextSetupRequest to
rrc_f1_ue_context_setup_from_e1_response to clarify it prepares
F1AP context setup from E1AP bearer setup response for serving DU
- Add rrc_f1_ue_context_setup_for_target_du (for target DU in
handover/reestablishment scenarios)
- Adopt helper rrc_fill_f1_ue_context_setup in both functions
