- if search fails, keeps increasing the rx gain (set by --ue-rxgain) by
3 db until USRP max rx gain
- if initial sync is success, sets the rxgain to the value of
(TARGET_RX_POWER (50) - pbch digital power in dB/RE)
- Phy config update and Sidelink frame parameters initialisation
- PSBCH scheduler to trigger TX PSBCH/RX PSBCH actions
- Sidelink indication with rx ind to trigger send SL-MIB to MAC
- Enable Scope for PSBCH use -d or --dqt
- Enable system testing of PSBCH for example using RFSIMULATOR:
- UE1 is a SYNCRONISATION SOURCE UE which transmits PSBCH
started using command -
sudo ./nr-uesoftmodem --sl-mode 2 --sync-ref 4 --rfsim --rfsimulator.serveraddr server
- UE2 syncs onto UE1 during sidelink search, gets the timing and continues to receive PSBCH
started using command -
sudo ./nr-uesoftmodem --sl-mode 2 --rfsim --rfsimulator.serveraddr 127.0.0.1
- In the default use case 2 Sidelink SSBs sent over 16 frames.
- In case SL-SSB configuration needs to be changed use -O option in the above command like
-O ../../../targets/PROJECTS/NR-SIDELINK/CONF/sidelink_preconfig_1txpool.conf
There is already a command line option called 'ue-scan-carrier' which
seemed to blindly look for SSB by changing the center frequency by
+/-100Hz if the previous attempt failed. This is probably copied from
LTE and is not suitable for NR. This commit uses this option to either
1. Perform initial sync on one GSCN if the SSB position if known
2. Or scan the all GSCN (if the SSB postion is unknown)
Also, the following is done for re-synchronization
1. Scan all GSCN when UE comes back from IDLE state
2. Scan one GSCN when UE does re-estabishment
Removed dependency of lte-softmodem.h in nr-softmodem.c.
CONFIG_HLP_UESCAN is declared also in lte-softmodem.h.
Add an API to allow out-of-order writes to a radio interface, unlike the
current interface.
this function is called in UE in this commit, even if the tx might
still be in order.
Later, i plan to improve UE pulti-threading, that will lead to out of
order tx. also, the gNB will benefit of this new function to replace
several specific pieces of code that reorder tx with over complex and
slow systems
- Phy configuration will be prepared by MAC
- Sidelink preconfiguration parameters passed from RRC->MAC
- Only 1 SSB TA allocation used
- psbch payload prepared by MAC after receiving the tx slss req
