According to 4.9.1.3.3 of 3GPP TS 23.502:
> 2a. - 2c. The S-RAN sends the Uplink RAN Status Transfer message to the S-AMF,
> as specified in TS 36.300 [46] and TS 38.300 [9]. The S-RAN may omit sending
> this message if none of the radio bearers of the UE shall be treated with PDCP status preservation.
TS 38.300 says:
> For DRBs not configured with DAPS, the source gNB sends the SN STATUS TRANSFER message to the target
> gNB to convey the uplink PDCP SN receiver status and the downlink PDCP SN transmitter status of DRBs for
> which PDCP status preservation applies (i.e. for RLC AM). The uplink PDCP SN receiver status includes at
> least the PDCP SN of the first missing UL PDCP SDU and may include a bit map of the receive status of the out
> of sequence UL PDCP SDUs that the UE needs to retransmit in the target cell, if any. The downlink PDCP SN
> transmitter status indicates the next PDCP SN that the target gNB shall assign to new PDCP SDUs, not having a
> PDCP SN yet.
i.e., for DRBs for which PDCP status preservation applies (i.e. for RLC AM), which is is our case.
This commit introduces full support for NG-RAN Status Transfer message handling
(TS 38.413 §9.2.3.13-14) in CU. It enables correct state transfer of PDCP COUNT
values (SN + HFN) during mobility or recovery scenarios.
Summary of changes - NGAP:
* Added encoding/decoding support for UL/DL RAN Status Transfer message
* Defined structures for: ngap_drb_count_value_t, ngap_drb_status_t,
ngap_ran_status_container_t, ngap_ran_status_transfer_t
This commit introduces the NG Mobility Management Procedure known as
Handover Resource Allocation. The inbound message is sent by the AMF
and is known as Handover Request.
Major changes:
(0) Add Handover Resource Allocation initiating message decoding
* add case for NGAP initiating message and unsuccessful message decoding
(1) handle Handover Request on the target NG-RAN
(2) decode NG Handover Request message
(3) process payload, e.g. create UE context,
store IDs, set UP security and trigger bearer setup

This commit introduces the NG Mobility Management Procedure known as
Handover Preparation. The outbound message is sent by the source NG-RAN
and is known as Handover Required.
* introduce NGAP library for Mobility Management
* introduce NGAP IEs encoder functions for Handover Required and relevant common IEs
* handle RRC trigger in NGAP and Send NGAP Handover Required to the AMF
