For FR2 and including analog beamforming, we control the beams via GPIO
on radio units.
In this commit, introduce a configuration option to switch the GPIO
control for different devices: "generic" is the current GPIO control,
"interdigital" configures the GPIO configuration to be used with an
InterDigital device.
- move following radios: AW2S, BladeRF, IRIS, LMSSDR, RFsimulator, USRP
- move following transports: Ethernet, benetel4g, benetel5g
- for each: create independent cmake variable to switch compilation
on/off, in order: OAI_AW2S, OAI_BLADERF, OAI_IRIS, OAI_LMSSDR,
OAI_SIMU, OAI_USRP, OAI_ETHERNET, OAI_BENETEL4G, OAI_BENETEL5G
- Remove RF_BOARD variable, allows to compile multiple boards at once
- where applicable: remove USERSPACE/LIB in path, i.e., move files up to
directories, as all are userspace libraries
Note that with the above, it is now mandatory to enable a radio
implementation before compiling it, e.g., for USRP:
./build_oai -w USRP
cmake .. -DOAI_USRP=ON && ninja oai_usrpdevif
Implement the #define variables required for synchronization: These
variables include offset and payload size values that vary from the Uu
interface, in relation to the PSS, SSS and PBCH elements. We also
introduce the new sl_mode command line flag, which is used to switch
between the Uu interface and SL interface. This will allow us to modify
exisitng PSS and SSS functions, without copying complete 5G functions
and only changing a few lines to support sidelink mode.

1. Adding a "SL" frequency for Sidelink mode. The
importance of this variable is to ensure that
when we are in mode 1 (UE+UE+gNB), that the slot
configuration and frequencies do not overlap. This
SL frequency is important for rotation and allows
us to utilize the OFDM modulation and demodulation
functions that already exist in OAI.
2. Adding sl_mode to the command line for proper UE
deployment when in SL mode. sl_mode can be set to 0,
1, or 2. sl_mode 0 indicates no-Sidelink at all,
mode 1 is gNB, UE, and UE (3GPP defines mode numbers).
sl_mode 2 indicated UE to UE communications with no
gNB at all.
3. New functions for calculating the carrier frequency
for SL mode.
reorder_thread_disable we use the native message queue and L1_rx_thread instead of the thread-pool for the main L1 thread. There is a single TX thread (no slot parallelization)
