Use UL_INFO on the stack, to simplify the code. move in the same struct
the associated rach, pdu, crc, srs arrays that where pointed from
directly in gNB structure Keep in nfapi the existing logic that make
malloc for theses rach, pdu, crc, srs array lists
Pass only relevant fields, where appropriate.

Fix TPMI for UL retransmissions
If the ul_ri of srs_feedback changes between a UL transmission and a
retransmission, we use the TPMI of transmission.

Optimize PHY_ofdm_mod CYCLIC_PREFIX in case of incidentally aligned pointers
It seems that the cyclic prefix is in most cases a multiple of 512 samples.
This means that in most cases the idft output pointer is already aligned and
there is no need to perform an extra memcpy. This saves the memcpy time in
most cyclic prefix insertion cases.
A script to run CI tests locally.
Added ./run_locally.sh script. The script takes one argument being the testcase
that one wants to run. The testcase is run locally. This means that some
testcases that utilize hardware resources will not run. However most if not all
rfsimulator testcases should run as in CI.
To this end, the CI python scripting framework was updated:
- override and <srv_node> elements from XML so all commands are executed locally
in case --local flag is passed
- Allow RemoteCmd class to run on localhost
Replace AssertFatal with static_assert for cmdline arguments check
Replace AssertFatal with static_assert for command line arguments definition
length check. The static assert will not allow the code to compile in case
the size is incorrect.
This could save some time in the future since its easy to forget to extend
CMDLINE_PARAMS_CHECK_DESC.

To this end, the CI python scripting framework was updated, adding --local flag which changes

- Avoid running image pull, image cleanup and workspace creation steps of the scripts:
user is responsible for that

Alignment of temporary IDFT buffer was changed to 64 bytes. This is in preparation
for possible use of different IDFT implementation which could use AVX-512, requiring
64-byte alignment.

the default duration to sync in with iqrecorder. Now this value can be
specified via cmd line so the user can change it according to needs.
Add support for O1 in O-DU via telnet
This change set adds a simple telnet interface to nr-softmodem. Together
with oai/o1-adapter>, this implements a part of the O1 interface, for
the DU only. Currently supported uses cases:
- some stats are send to an SMO (such as bandwidth, PLMN, frequency, ...)
- re-configuration of bandwidth, frequency
- stop/start of the softmodem, while keeping the CU and L2 running
- the o1-adapter implements two alarms, load overload and base station
offline, using this interface.
It is possible to use the telnet interface by itself (i.e., "o1" without
the o1-adapter). To do this, compile with telnet support (./build_oai
--build-lib telnetsrv) and start the nr-softmodem with O1 module
(./nr-softmodem --telnetsrv --telnetsrv.shrmod o1). You can then do the
following:
- see some statistics as exposed to o1-adapter, in JSON: echo o1 stats | nc 127.0.0.1 9090 && echo
- stop the L1: echo o1 stop_modem | nc 127.0.0.1 9090 && echo
- reconfigure bandwidth: e.g., echo o1 bwconfig 20 | nc 127.0.0.1 9090 && echo (also supported: 40, 60, 100)
- start the L1: echo o1 start_modem | nc 127.0.0.1 9090 && echo
Note that the reconfiguration works with split-8 radios. Notably, it
does not work yet out-of-the-box with 7.2 radios, because they have to
be manually reconfigured on bandwith/frequency switch. The planned
M-plane should allow such use case, though.
To help with the above, this branch also includes fixes (for more
information, refer to the corresponding commits):
- fixes for stopping the L1, notably stop threads in right order, stop
thread pool of RU
- collect some general MAC metrics, fix some bugs in MAC
- fix problems in F1AP gNB-DU configuration update message, update test
- fix some problems in RRC
The consumer of this function just passes a pointer to something to be
sent. This function should not free this memory, it's simply not it's
task. This is the same bug as above in
"CU_handle_gNB_DU_CONFIGURATION_UPDATE(): don't free the message of RRC"
This adds a basic telnet module to support the O1 interface at the DU,
to be used together with the oai/o1-adapter>. Concretely, this first
version supports to
- read/modify cell parameters
- stop/start the L1
Implements the re-start of the L1 after it has been stopped through
stop_L1(). It takes into account some changes, such as bandwidth, or
frequency, when restarting the L1. To this end, it also triggers a
gNB-DU configuration update message on each restart to inform the CU
about any changes in the DU. FDD has not been tested.
Refactor L1 stopping code into a function. The function is basically the
same as what we were doing at the end of main() of nr-softmodem.c.
This will be reused to support the "soft-restart" functionality in the
next commits.
Need to proper forward declaration, as we otherwise need to make
telnet_o1 module dependent on F1. Make functions publicly accessible,
as the F1 functions are used in an upcoming commit to start the L1.
Need to keep track of number of RUs, as the RU initialization increments
the number of RUs. Therefore, subsequent initializations would fail if
we don't decrement first. There is no better place (or I did not find
it) to decrement the number of RUs than in nr_phy_free_RU(). For this
reason, we also have to manually set the number of RUs in nr_prachsim to
1, otherwise the assert will trigger.
Split out these functions, to be reused in a follow-up commit to
correctly have gNB-DU configuration update message working.
Change the return type copy_f1ap_served_cell_info(), to return the copy,
which IMO is more intuitive then passing target and source in
parentheses.
For the "restart" feature, earlier versions where creating multiple UL
TDA. This is not a problem (anymore), but to avoid that we call this
multiple times, add this assert.
The existing code prevents double initialization if e.g., both gNB&UE
call these functions (like in a simulator). However, in the case of a
double-initialization such as stopping and re-starting the L1, the
memory will be freed, but not freed again. Basically, this works:
generate()
generate() # not initialized again
but this leads to problems:
generate()
free()
generate() # not initialized again, but should be!
Reimplement the check based on the data to be initialized, such that an
intermediate free() will be handled properly.
These are the "main" worker threads (apart the ru_thread). If the
thread-pool stops, they might get stuck. E.g., in PUSCH channel
estimation, it uses a local response queue, and if the thread pool is
terminated, it seems that the L1_rx_thread can get stuck in there.
To limit these problems, attempt to stop these threads first; stop the
queue from which they read and make them terminate; then, stop the
thread pool.
Also, fix the termination of respPuschSymb queue.
