Add NAS Authentication Reject enc/dec library and unit test
This MR introduces the library for encoding/decoding of NAS Authentication
Reject (8.2.5.1 of 3GPP TS 24.501) and relevant unit test.
The message is sent by the AMF to the UE to indicate that the authentication
procedure has failed. A NAS handler was also introduced.
The implementation is limited to epoch times that are not more than 5.12 seconds in the future (allowed are up to 10.24 seconds)
and ntn-UlSyncValidityDuration < 5.12 seconds (allowed are up to 90 seconds).
To fix this limitation, the hyper frame number HFN has to be introduced at the OAI UE!
Before, we only considered ta_Common_r17 and the SAT position from SIB19 to compute the initial timing advance value.
This is good enough if the satellite does not move too fast (e.g. GEO satellite).
Now we also consider ta_CommonDrift_r17 and the SAT velocity together with the epoch time from SIB19.
This improves the accuracy of the initial TA computation, esp. for LEO satellite scenarios.
During reestablishment the UE goes back to not synchronized state.
While the synchronizatin is running, we trash frames using the function readFrame().
And when we successfully synchronize, we skip samples to align with the start of the frame using syncInFrame().
In rfsimulator mode, both of these functions send dummy data using the function dummyWrite().
Unfortunately, the writeTimestamp provided to that function was always assuming a duration from RX to TX of NR_UE_CAPABILITY_SLOT_RX_TO_TX.
But in NTN mode, this value is changed when receiving SIB19.
Therefore we have to consider this changed value instead of the static one.
CI: Add "may_fail" step to execute flaky steps
Add a generic may_fail CI XML step option that indicates the CI step may
fail, but the CI would still be marked as succeeded (instead of skipping
all steps and mark as failed). The cause of this failure depends on the
specific step, e.g., Iperf failing because of low throughput. This
allows to clean up some code and e.g. remove the command_fail option of
Custom_Command, which is then superfluous (and less generic). An
inconvenience is that those may_fail steps will be marked as "failed" in
the HTML. Later cleanup can correct this.
The may_fail is used for executing FHI7.2 testing to push 700 Mbps in DL
(close to the maximum).
Fix some bugs and add some clean up, see commit messages.
Enabling usage of ulsyncvalidityDuration timer in SIB19
ntn-UlSyncValidityDuration in SIB19 from Spec 38.331 v17.12 A validity
duration configured by the network for assistance information which
indicates the maximum time duration (from epochTime) during which the UE
can apply assistance information without having acquired new assistance
information. The unit of ntn-UlSyncValidityDuration is second. Value s5
corresponds to 5 s, value s10 indicate 10 s and so on.
ntn-UlSyncValidityDuration-r17 ENUMERATED{ s5, s10, s15, s20, s25, s30, s35,s40, s45, s50, s55, s60, s120, s180, s240, s900}
Implementation of epochtime is under discussion.
It can be configured in configuration file according to the above
enumeration. For GEO - 240s, MEO - 20s, LEO-5s can be used.
Handle authentication not accepted by the network. The handler assumes the message
is not integrity protected, processes the received NAS message and logs whether a
EAP-failure is enclosed. The UE enters state: 5GMM-DEREGISTERED.
Not done in this commit: the UE shall performs actions as per 5.4.1.3.5 of
3GPP TS 24.501, including (1) Abort any ongoing 5GMM procedure
(2) Stop all active timers: T3510, T3516, T3517, T3519, T3520, T3521
(3) Delete stored SUCI. (4) handle EAP-failure message.

- This occurs when we have an MR to upgrade the cuBB image
USRP lib: fix incorrect config check for time_source fallback
Corrected a logic bug in usrp_lib.cpp where the code mistakenly checked
openair0_cfg[0].clock_source instead of time_source when a time_source
was already specified in usrp_args.
Also improved the warning log to clarify that the config value is being
ignored in favor of the explicit user-provided usrp_args.

NAS Registration Reject: Add bounds and lengths checks
This change adds lengths checks to the received registration reject
message and also performs a bounds check for the received cause.
Since the cause is not checked, any string in the memory can be
dereferenced, possibly leading to DoS.

Finalize FAPI dump functions, add Digital Beamforming Table and Precoding Matrix
Table to CONFIG.request
This MR finalizes the addition of dump utility functions for the PARAM.response,
CONFIG.request, CONFIG.response, TX_DATA.request and UCI.indication messages.
These functions are intended to be used to aid in debugging FAPI messages between
the VNF and the PNF by printing out every parameter in a more readable form,
instead of a simple hexdump. These are also used by the nFAPI Hex Parser utility,
to be able to debug an Hex dump provided from elsewhere.
Furthermore, this MR also adds the necessary logic to send/receive the Digital
Beamforming Table and Precoding Matrix Table, this in the CONFIG.request message.
This is achieved by the addition of 2 Vendor Extension TLVs (0xA002 and 0xA003),
in order to be able to reuse existing logic to pack/unpack the data. Note: The
present implementation predicts the existence of multiple instances of the
Precoding Matrix Table via the parameter num_pm_idx, whic is not present in the
SCF specification. Note: The created TLVs are only used to ease the pack/unpack
procedure, by allowing to reuse already existing logic for other TlVs, the tag
and length are not sent.
The necessary additions to the utility functions are done to account for these
table. The CONFIG.request unitary test is changed to fill these tables with
randomized data to test transport and copy.
Motivation of the commit:
Previously, the RRC module on the NGAP interface directly handled ASN.1 decoding
of NGAP PDU Session Resource items, that was directly stored in pdusession_t, i.e.
in the UE context. Decode logic between Setup and Modify was also duplicated.,
e.g. fill_qos/fill_qos2. The idea behind this change is to achieve this flow:
(1) NGAP handler: decoding (2) ITTI to RRC: transfer decoded message (3) RRC
handler: process decoded message, e.g. store in UE context, etc..
The goal of this commit is to:
* improve the NGAP decoding library by adding decoding functions
* let RRC handle the already decoded data
* enhance error handling, with decode failures now consistently detected and rejected early
* have a cleaner, more maintainable code with fewer duplications and a clearer separation of modules
Changes:
* Moved all ASN.1 decode logic for PDU Session Resource items into the NGAP library
* Introduced decode functions for NGAP IEs whenever necessary, e.g. decode_TNLInformation
decode_pdusession_transfer
* Removed duplicate fill_qos functions and centralized QoS handling in NGAP
* Added function to copy from NGAP PDU Session Resource item to RRC pdusession_t: this actually
replaces decodePDUSessionResourceSetup in RRC, copying from the decoded NGAP struct to
the UE context pdusession_t
Motivation:
The previous code had overlapping and partially inconsiste definitions of
`pdusession_t` and related structures across NGAP and RRC. This struct type
was used for either the data stored in the UE context and the NGAP message
IEs holding the PDU session to setup/modify information.
This patch aims to separte the `pdusession_t` in RRC, where it logically belongs,
since RRC owns the state of the PDU sessions. NGAP should only
deal with protocol messages, i.e. enc/dec and transfer structures to RRC.
This clarifies module ownership. This also makes the code easier to maintain.
Changes:
* Moved `pdusession_t` definition from NGAP (`ngap_messages_types.h`) to RRC
(`nr_rrc_defs.h`)
* Added a simpler `pdusession_resource_item_t` structure to NGAP for use in
protocol messages
* Adjusted NGAP structures accordingly (Initial Context Setup, PDU Session
Setup Request, and PDU Session Modify Request).
* do decodePDUSessionResourceSetup to decode the NGAP IEs holding PDU session
information and store what necessary in the UE context PDU Session IE: NOTE
this changes were necessary since previously this function was acting on
the common NGAP/RRC pdu_session_t struct
Rename the struct members:
`pdusession_param` to `pdusession` in NGAP Initial Context Setup Request
`pdusession_setup_params` in `ngap_pdusession_setup_req_t`
`pdusession_modify_params` and `ngap_pdusession_modify_req_t`
Motivation:
Clarify the role of GTP tunnel endpoint IDs in PDU session handling. Previously,
the struct members (gNB_teid_N3, UPF_teid_N3, etc.) were confusingly named and
duplicated with separate transport-layer address fields.
This refactoring replaces these with explicit n3_incoming and n3_outgoing members using
gtpu_tunnel_t. This aligns with GTP conventions: "incoming TEID" refers to the
TEID received from the remote peer (UPF on N3), while "outgoing TEID" is the
TEID sent by the local entity (NG-RAN on N3) to the remote peer.
Benefits:
* Improves readability and clarity of the code
* Reduces redundant struct members, i.e. remove UPF_teid_N3, UPF_addr_N3
* Aligns naming with 3GPP conventions for transport layer tunnels
Changes:
* Replace gtp_addr_N3, gNB_teid_N3, gtp_teid, upf_addr with n3_incoming and n3_outgoing
* Update all related code to use the new struct members
* Aligns naming with 3GPP conventions for transport layer tunnels
This struct is used in different layers, e.g. RRC, NGAP: therefore it
has been moved to platform_types.h.
Also, the struct holds the tunnel endpoint configuration for any GTP-U
tunnel, therefore the f1u prefix is not accurate and was updated
to a more generic gtpu.
