for the one target PHY_UE that relies on this.

CORESET start multiple of 6 fix
According to the standard any CORESET (except CSET0) would always start
from the first common resource block index which is multiple of 6 in the
BWP. This was not taken into account in the code. The BWP switch CI test
is modified to test a BWP start not multiple of 6.
An exception is the case where rb-Offset-r16 parameter is set, but can't
be used at gNB for FAPI compatibility.
Closes: #1037
We need the ntn_config when reconfiguring the PHY layer for a new initial sync,
e.g. for calculating the DL Doppler frequency.
As a dedicated scheduled_response dl_config PDU it reaches the PHY layer too late,
as part of the phy_config.config_req it reaches the PHY layer in time with the
other configuration values.
When doing analogue beamforming, the beam ID for a pre-defined beam
table is passed directly to RU and there is no need to store the beam
table in PHY.
Add symbol timing functions for NR_DL_FRAME_PARMS + optimization for slot timing
counterparts
Add two new functions for calculation symbol timestamp and symbol duration for
NR_DL_FRAME_PARMS. Also includes an optimization focused on removing
inefficiencies related slot-related counterparts.
1. Removed function pointers for functions get_samples_per_slot(),
get_samples_slot_timestamp() and get_slot_from_timestamp() as it does
not offer any advantage. The functions are now called directly from
everywhere.
2. Optimized these functions by removing loops where ever possible.
NR UE: calculate TA based on SIB19 information in NTN mode, if autonomous TA is not enabled
To achieve the goal, the hyper frame number (HFN) is introduced at the NR UE
PHY, MAC and RRC layers.
Besides this, we also implemented an orbit propagation to improve the accuracy
of N_UE_TA_adj, and a fix to keep the N_TA from RAR and MAC CE.
Fixes#981
Add two new functions for calculation symbol timestamp and symbol
duration for NR_DL_FRAME_PARMS. These functions are not using
the existing indirection mechanism via function pointers as this
prevents the compiler from properly optimizing the code.
Consistently use OAI_RNGSEED env variable for RNG
use OAI_RNGSEED env variable everywhere. Hide normal table
initialization of Ziggurat generator from outside. Fix atoi() to use
stroul()
Hide normal table initialization of Ziggurat generator from outside to
force the usage of randominit() for RNG initialization. In this step,
remove the randominit() seed parameter and only rely on OAI_RNGSEED for
a consistent RNG initialization, as this parameter was used differently
("0" as fixed number or to force a random seed).
Now, only use OAI_RNGSEED env variable to force the usage of a fixed
seed.
NR UE: fix bug for SRS generation when freqDomainShift (n_shift) is not 0
According to TS 38.211 section 6.4.1.4.3, the frequency domain shift value
n_shift is from higher-layer parameter freqDomainShift. The quantity n_RRC
is given by higher-layer parameter freqDomainPosition. Also corrected
k_0_overbar_p calculation formula to align with standard.
Separate timing_advance (N_TA) from timing_advance_ntn (N_common_TA_adj + N_UE_TA_adj)
to keep N_TA when updating N_common_TA_adj + N_UE_TA_adj.
Fixes#981
Refactor imscope
This MR refactors imscope by introducing changes to the default layout
in the config file imgui.ini. The global settings are moved to a new
menu item. This modified layout is intended as a suggestion subject to
change based on feedback. This MR also adds PDCCH LLR and IQ plots to
the UE scope and set axes to AutoFit by default.
The MR has a screenshot of the new layout.
Remove schedule response and update L1 threading documentation
This merge requests removes the somewhat superfluous "schedule response"
mechanism. "schedule response" was run after running the scheduler
itself and copied various FAPI messages into a global msgDataTx
structure from which the various TX/RX jobs were triggered. It is not
necessary, though, given that the scheduler is run inside the tx_func()
(running the TX jobs of the L1), and so the scheduler output FAPI
messages can directly be read into a variable of the existing
NR_Sched_Rsp_t type. This allows to delete a couple of hundred lines of
code (while retaining functionality), and simplifies the msgDataTx type
(which is still there to trigger TX job (including the scheduler) from
the ru thread).
In short, prior, there was this call chain:
- tx_func() calls run_scheduler_monolithic() (through fptr
NR_slot_indication())
- get some memory through allocate_sched_response() which has enough
space for NR_Sched_Rsp_t type variable
- call the scheduler and fill the variable
- call nr_schedule_response() (through fptr NR_schedule_response())
which copies into L1: to msgDataTx for TX, to separate structures
for RX
this is changed to
- tx_func() runs one message at a time, hence we can use memory in the
data segment for NR_Sched_Rsp_t. It calls run_scheduler_monolithic()
through the fptr
- pointers into NR_Sched_Rsp_t are passed to the scheduler, which
fills as before
- we return, memory is in its right place and does not need an extra
copy.
Additionally, this merge request updates documentation on threading and
cleans up some unused code along the way.
Note: after this commit, monolithic works but nFAPI operation is broken
and fixed in the next commit, to keep the changes small(er). All
simulators work.
This commit removes the use of msgDataTx's intermediate buffers for FAPI
messages and the call of the "Schedule response". The latter incurs an
additional copy of FAPI messages for the TX chain (for the RX chain, it
is and will remain there) which we can avoid.
Instead, it uses an NR_Sched_Rsp_t-typed variable sched_response to
store the results of the scheduler when called from tx_func(). Thus, the
scheduler remains unchanged (it gets a pointer to where to put FAPI
messages), but we don't call nr_schedule_response() to then copy FAPI
messages into the L1, but have them in a local variable sched_response.
sched_response on on the data segment, as it is big and would overflow
the stack; at the same time, this is ok because only one tx_func() runs
at a time.
Since we don't use allocate_sched_response() anymore, we don't need
deref_sched_response().
clear_slot_beamid() is moved to tx_func(), as it was called in
nr_schedule_response().
Since the "intermediate" NR_gNB_DLSCH_t structure groups both the
DL_tti_pdsch and TX_data.req structures, a pointer has been created to
point to pdsch_pdu. This affects a number of simulators, as they have to
put some messages on the stack:
- nr_dlschsim: put the corresponding variable on the stack
- nr_pbchsim: a new array for the SSB PDUs has been introduced
Further, these changes are now necessary:
- nr_dlsim: there were variables "rel15" and "pdsch_pdu_rel15" that
point to the same PDSCH PDU. At least "rel15" would not exist, as the
corresponding pointer is now populated in phy_procedures_gNB_TX(), and
we therefore refer to the single PDSCH PDU variable with
"pdsch_pdu_rel15", but at the place where "rel15" used to be
initialized.
- nr_ulsim: use nr_save_ul_tti_req() to load PDUs into the RX chain
instead of nr_schedule_response(), which does not exist anymore.
The next commit will remove msgDataTx. We can therefore not use
msgDataTx to retain the PDSCH/DLSCH variables, and move them to the gNB.
Note that the only reason for NR_gNB_DLSCH_t after this commit is to
hold various large buffers (c, b, f). Future work could be done to
remove this, in which case the array inside PHY_VARS_gNB could be
deleted.
On this occasion, clean up the use of init_DLSCH_struct() and
reset_DLSCH_struct() (renamed destroy_DLSCH_struct()) and centralize
their call in phy_init_nr_gNB()/phy_free_nr_gNB(), and correct
simulators accordingly.
Cleanup phy_procedures_gNB_uespec_RX
phy_procedures_gNB_uespec_RX is too long function with too long lines of code,
this commit only shorten lines and improve a bit the readability
Collection of small fixes
A few fixes needed while testing FHI libraries
- set subcarrier spacing in PUSCH PDU in NRUE
- a set of two LOG_Ds that prints out the PUSCH allocation on gNB & UE
DLSCH encoding is not concerned with HARQ processes directly. Instead,
it gets the redundancy version and encodes a specific redundancy version
for a given TB. The rest is up to the MAC, the L1 is stateless in that
regard. Hence, remove the HARQ type and put it into DLSCH, which also
simplifies the code elsewhere.
Similarly to the parent commit, simplify the array type to the FAPI PDU
towards further refactoring, and encapsulate the code in a function for
easier reuse in a later refactoring step.
Note on ZP-CSI: after this commit, we continue treating CSI PDUs. The
prior code was returning, which I think is wrong (as this information is
only for the currently treated CSI-RS PDU).
There is no point in tracking the "active" state: the SSB PDU will be
sent from MAC to L1, encoded, and then "discarded" (by marking the
number of SSB PDUs as 0). Hence, remove this intermediate type.
According to TS 38.211 section 6.4.1.4.3, the frequency domain shift value n_shift
is from higher-layer parameter freqDomainShift.
The quantity n_RRC is given by higher-layer parameter freqDomainPosition.
Also corrected k_0_overbar_p calculation formula to align with standard.
Both (DL) PDCCH and UL PDCCH PDU types are fundamentally of the same
type, so correct the array's type to facilitate refactoring later (a
later commit will reuse a single "generate DCI" function for both
cases).
NTN: Fixing variable ULDLduplex issue for NTN bands
- Duplex is assumed to be static but for NTN bands (and also for some non NTN
bands), it is not static.
- Tx-RX Duplex is defined in section 5.4.4 of 38.101-5 (for NTN) specs v1809
- For example: In NTN-OTA testing, the GEO satellite operator configured in
band 256 the DL, UL frequencies with duplex of 185Mhz.
