The RRC should not trigger RLC bearer establishment: this should be done
only via F1, and in the remaining code (removed here), this principle
was violated.
Further, this code was doubly wrong, as it used the CU UE ID for the
RLC, setting up bearers with IDs 1,2,3 etc instead of the RNTI.
The MAC_NR target is not needed; every dependent target also links
L2_NR. Therefore, this target just creates double compilation. We can
remove it without problems.

This commit repairs the reestablishment after the introduction of the CU
UE ID in the CU, different from the DU UE ID. Now, the CU uses an
identifier different from the RNTI, used in the MAC, to refer to UEs.
To repair the reestablishment, a number of changes needed to be
introduced:
- Handle old_gNB_DU_UE_id in MAC
The MAC handles the old_gNB_DU_UE_id field in the DL RRC Message. The
commit adds encoding/decoding of the field. The MAC will drop the old
UE, but retain the CellGroup of the corresponding UE(!). Because a UE
releases the spCellGroup on reestablishment, the MAC does the same; it
needs to reapply the old configuration after a reconfiguration. For the
latter, introduce new variables to keep a "future" CellGroupConfig to be
applied (reconfigCellGroup) and a flag (expect_reconfiguration) that
applies the CellGroupConfig if a DL RRC Message transfer on DCCH, which
is assumed to be the reconfiguration.
- Add RNTI change in RLC
The RLC needs to reuse the old UE context. Hence, we simply change the
RNTI in the old context, and delete the new one.
- No PDCP UE ID change
The previous implementation of the PDCP used the RNTI; hence, the ID
needed to be switch (as above for the RLC). Since the PDCP now also uses
the CU UE ID, no identifier change is needed, and we remove all
corresponding code.
- No MAC modifications/update from CU
As foreseen by the spec, the CU does not modify or change the
cellGroupConfig in the RRC during reestablishment. This change will be
generalized in the future to all of the RRC. Also, the
nr_rrc_mac_remove_ue() function has been removed: the MAC handles any UE
changes autonomeously, without being triggered from the RRC explicitly.
- Remove reestablish_rnti_map
The RRC does not use RNTIs for UE identification. Hence, a
reestablish_rnti_map to link two UEs to each other is not necessary
anymore.
After a reestablishment, the PDCP sequence number counters have to be
reset. Implement an API to allow the RRC to reset the sequence numbers
for a particular UE in the case of reestablishment
The RRC gives its own RRC UE ID. It won't intervene if DUs assign the same RNTI to different UEs: it simply does not care what the DUs do with the RNTI.
- Use the same CU-UP in E1 as in CU-CP: we don't have a separate entity
to allocate IDs, and we just use the same as the CU-CP
- Correct gNB CU-UP/CP UE IDs in E1AP message types to 32bit
- Set CU UP UE ID explicitly for clarity
- Remove RNTI from E1 messages, E1 does not know what an RNTI is
The UE had a list of known UEs. With the introduction of a separate
module for F1 UE ID handling that is also used in monolithic (to
separate CU UE ID from DU UE ID), this functionality is not needed, and
deleted in this commit.
Previously, the F1AP handler called various functions directly, instead
of sending an ITTI message to the RRC thread. This has two drawbacks:
- it can lead to data races if the RRC task uses functionality that is
being accessed by the F1 task through this function
- no homogeneity: all other handlers send an ITTI message, so this one
should too
- The CU/DU UE ID is used in DL RRC Message Transfer
- Note: The CU UE ID currently is still the RNTI
- on every DL RRC Message, the DU verifies that the UE exists
- Refactor RRC: common function to forward protected SRB PDUs
The RRC uses gNB_ue_ngap_id as its primary ID; the following commits
will introduce the usage of the (F1) gNB CU UE ID. This commits renames
the gNB_ue_ngap_id to rrc_ue_id to better reflect its usage as the RRC's
primary UE ID.
It will be used as the NGAP and F1 (CU) UE IDs.
for reusing the old UE Context after reestablishment: we have to free a
UE context, but that also free's the RA process that we still need.

Is this necessary?
The thread pool provides user data to be stored by (pre-)allocating the
necessary memory. A previous attempt was made to have this user data
aligned on a 32 byte boundary (e.g., to prevent segfault with SIMD
instructions, or avoid inefficient data access); the current
implementation, however, leads to unaligned memory access.
This patch attempts again to implement user data to be 32 byte aligned.
First, use memalign() to allocate the actual job on a 32 byte boundary.
Second, use alignas(32) to align the pointer to the user data to be
aligned to 32 bytes. Since it is the last member of the struct, this
ensures that user data, which is allocated right behind it, will be
aligned to 32 bytes as well.
Newer GCC releases warn about the scope being uninitialized:
openair1/PHY/TOOLS/nr_phy_scope.c:1076:20: error: ‘graph.text’ is used uninitialized [-Werror=uninitialized]
This is correct, as we don't initialize the scope. This commit correctly
initializes the scope.
Config options --reconfig_file and --rbconfig-file have been introduced
to modify the filenames of reconfig.raw and rbconfig.raw (e.g., in the
case of multiple UEs). These filen*ames* were to be prepended with
--rrc_config_path to set the path. In summary, three options were
necessary, when two are sufficient.
In this commit, change to the options --reconfig-file and
--rbconfig-file (slight change for harmonization with other options,
which mostly use dashes) to give the full path to the corresponding
files, and avoid to surprise users who would not expect to have three
options.
--rrc_config_path has been deprecated and an error will be printed if a
user attempts to use it.

The results of individual UEs (e.g., ping) is listed vertically, like
so:
| ping results | UE1 |
| | UE2 |
| | UE3 |
Where UE1, UE2, ... represents an entire box with results for UE 1, 2,
... For many UEs, this results in considerable need for vertical space. This
commit changes to something like the following to save space:
| ping results | UE1 UE2 UE3 |
For a single UE, this commit has no major impact (the boxes are not
stretched to width anymore).
A side effect of the previous commit's refactoring is that we mark the
pipeline as failed if a (packet loss/bitrate) threshold is violated.
Previously, the HTML would contain a "Perf not met" hint, but be marked
as successful.
This commit introduces more realistic thresholds for various pipeline
runs. The values are arbitary, following the performances in pipelines
that were marked as successful, but actually had performance problems.
They allow, though, a pipeline to pass following the normal performance
we saw the last weeks.
Jenkins is programmed to send e-mails, but most people don't use it:
- the mail has all results in the attachments, but it is clumsy to
navigate between mail reader and browser, and CSS is not correct
- there is no link to the actual results
- everybody gets a notification from Gitlab, since we also post it there
Also, everybody who I asked told me they don't like this mail. Let's get
rid of it.
As described in common/utils/config.h, it is possible to hook into the
asn1c tracing mechanism to print logs.
This commit fixes a regression to print theses traces properly in OAI.
Above-mentioned file explains also how to reduce the amount of logs,
e.g., for single code blocks.
There is already common/utils/config.h. This file(name) is hardcoded as
it is included into asn1c, and cannot be renamed. To avoid a name clash
and confusing, we rename T's config.h/c to configuration.h/c.
The T trace names need to match the logging system names (apparently).
In commit 5f5b8f2914, we renamed the
logging system group to avoid a name clash, but omitted the T trace
names.
This is corrected in this commit to make everything compile nicely.
By using oai_exit in log.c, LOG depends on being compiled into an
executable that defines such symbol, which is not always the case (nor
does it make sense).
oai_exit is only used in a loop to optionally write out memory. The
loop could relatively easily be aborted by setting a variable:
Some distributions, e.g., CentOS8 or RHEL8, ship with an old cmake
(v2.8). To provide a newer, they have a separate cmake3 package, where a
recent cmake version is in program cmake3. To be agnostic, build_helper
detects the distribution and choses the cmake program to use.
This commit uses the correct cmake, which is provided in the environment
variable $CMAKE.
