As reported by Emad Alizade:
According to "Issue255 256 257 paging reesta release" that has been
merged in develop version, we have a question: In rrc_eNB_free_UE()
function only all ulsch related memory of user has been cleaned, but
I think not only ulsch memory but also dlsch memory must be cleaned.
I tested the latest develop version and with repetition UE attach-detach
procedures we find that the dlsch memory has not been cleaned and after
repeat this sequence (45 times) assertion with cause UE_id!=-1 (no free
or exiting dlsch_context, dci_tools.c: fill_dci_and_dlsch() ) occurred
and no UE will be attached to system.
The fixes in this commit are from Emad Alizade.
This commit fixes issues introduced by the previous commit.
Summary of work:
- cleanup:
- fix LOG_XX to be less verbose
- fix cmake_targets/CMakeLists.txt
- fix oaienv
- remove dead code
- bug fixes:
- in openair1/SCHED/fapi_l1.c we had:
eNB->pdcch_vars[subframe&1].num_dci = number_dci;
should be:
eNB->pdcch_vars[subframe&1].num_dci = 0;
This bug let the PHY send more DCIs than what should have been
sent because num_dci is incremented later on in the code.
This fix may be a problem for fapi mode, to be checked.
- add new T VCD traces
- revert openair1/PHY/TOOLS/file_output.c to 'develop' version
- remove thread_id in logRecord/logRecord_mt
- revert (and adapt) configuration files
- be careful when doing frame++, we need to % 1024
- revert target_rx_power in openair2/LAYER2/MAC/eNB_scheduler_ulsch.c
- NFAPI:
- the open-nFAPI code has been included in the repository. See nfapi/README.
Maybe we should "git clone" the Cisco repository instead. We have to be
careful of availability though.
What has been tested:
- monolithic eNB FDD 5/10MHz with one UE, iperf UDP/TCP uplink/downlink
Anything else may fail to work, especially the FAPI mode, which has not
been tested at all.
It has been chosen to not include the full history of commits
from David. He included a binary version of wireshark, probably
a modified one that understands NFAPI. Wireshark is released under
the GPL license, we cannot include it in the repository. We could
have done a next commit to remove this binary. But then it would
still be present in the history of commits, which may not be allowed.
And it would take space on disk. We could edit the history to remove
wireshark entirely. But this operation is too complicated.
There was also a pcap capture file, which has nothing to do in
the history of commits and would take space on disk. There again,
it's too difficult to edit the history to remove it.
There was a file .gitignore that was also removed.
The original history can be found on David's repository:
https://gitlab.eurecom.fr/daveprice/openairinterface5g/
The branch is: nfapi-ru-rau-split.
A copy of that branch has been included in the internal OAI
repository, for those who have access to it.
The branch is the same. The last commit ID is
9106438239e0bc626ff1fa1d97d911caadd0fbb9.
You can compare the current commit with the commit 9106...
to see what differs.
The current commit has to be considered non-working.
The commit following the current commit will fix problems with
the work in the current commit.
If you use git bisect, don't spend time analyzing the current
commit.
physicalConfigDedicated may be legitimately NULL at some places
with the current code.
A cleaner solution is needed (we should always have a dedicated
config, initialized with values from the 3GPP specs, not have
a NULL as we do now).
- remove global variables in the function lte_est_timing_advance_pusch
- do the smoothing logic that was in lte_est_timing_advance_pusch
in rx_sdu (is it necessary? is it correct?)
- put back the value 100 in prach_procedures for the test on prach energy
- change the value of timing_advance_update
it was:
timing_advance_update = sync_pos - eNB->frame_parms.nb_prefix_samples/4; //to check
it is now:
timing_advance_update = sync_pos; // - eNB->frame_parms.nb_prefix_samples/4; //to check
this should be checked somehow. The computation looked suspicious. Maybe
the new one is wrong.
phy_init_lte_ue_signal was renamed init_lte_ue_signal in openair1/PHY/INIT/defs.h
maybe it's the opposite that should have been done?
Functions used in one file and defined in another may have been
declared in the wrong header file.
TODO: if the UE did random access (followed by a MAC uplink with
CRNTI) because none of its scheduling request was granted, then
according to 36.321 5.4.4 the UE's MAC will notify RRC to release
PUCCH/SRS. According to 36.331 5.3.13 the UE will then apply
default configuration for CQI reporting and scheduling requests,
which basically means that the CQI requests won't work anymore and
that the UE won't do any scheduling request anymore as long as the
eNB doesn't reconfigure the UE.
We have to take care of this. As the code is, nothing is done and
the UE state in the eNB is wrong.
- change target values
- change upper/lower limit to trigger a tpc
- don't use ul_cqi from SR
The value of ul_cqi is not convincing, for both PUSCH and PUCCH,
more work/analysis is required.
