NGAP-Initial Context Setup Failure
NGAP Failure message - Initial Context Setup Failure. When an Initial
Context Setup Request is received with the UE context as null, it
triggers Initial Context Setup failure
SIB19 utilization on UE
Following SIB19 initialization and scheduling on gNB (!2899 - merged)
and Receive SIB19 on nrUE (!2920 - merged), this merge request aims to
introduce the actual use of the SIB19 provided parameters by gNB in UE.
Changes needed for utilization include: initialization of position
coordinates parameters for UE (which are needed to calculate propagation
delay between UE and SAT), propagation delay calculations and timing
advance adjusts. Moreover, this change removes the now unused arguments
for ntn_koffset, ntn_ta_common and ntn_ta_commondrift
GTP: use direct call instead of ITTI
Using ITTI calls for user plane implies (1) a memory allocation, (2)
mutexes, and (3) queueing messages for each user plane packet, which is
heavy. Use a direct API call instead to reduce overhead.
NGAP Failure message - Initial Context Setup Failure.
When an Initial Context Setup Request is received with the UE context as null, it triggers Initial Context Setup failure.
Fix several issues in ulsch_mmse_2layers
Fix incorrect array type of determ_fin which was set to int32_t while the
array holds the results of simde_mm_abs_epi32 which produces unsigned
values.
Remove assert on right-shifting negative integers as it is impossible for
determ_fin to hold negative values.
Change type of sum_det to uint32_t to prevent possible overflow. Fix
the type cast (int -> uint32_t) to prevent casting before shift in
nr_ulsch_comp_muli_sum which might have resulted in right shifting
negative integers.
Closes: #753
UE data race fix
When a new sync request is sent to PHY, we clear harq buffer and start
synchronization process. This could lead to unexpected behavior or segv
because DL actors might be using the buffer we just cleared. To avoid
this, the DL actors are shutdown and re initiated before clearing harq
info.
Some users copy libxran.so to a system directory (e.g., /usr/local/lib).
At the same time, we require xran_LOCATION to be set to find the build
directory. Use HINTS to prefer the location passed through
xran_LOCATION.
Also, use NO_DEFAULT_PATH to outright disallow global scope, to prevent
"accidentally" finding libxran.so in global scope (this is for
multi-user systems that are used in development, and where people have
different version of libxran for testing purposes). To still use
packages in e.g., /usr/local/, it would be possible to set xran_LOCATION
to this directory. (there is a problem that the version information will
likely not be read correctly, so this might not be enough)
Set the number of barriers to 512 and implement proper slot and frame
based selection. Now the dynamic barriers should not be overwritten in
case the rx-to-tx offset is high. The maximum offset supported is 512.
- Removed ntn_koffset, ntn_ta_common, ntn_ta_commondrift arguments in order to be used directly from SIB19
- Removed global NTN_UE_Koffset variable and it's use
- Introduced getter functions for ntn related parameters
Using ITTI calls for user plane implies (1) a memory allocation, (2)
mutexes, and (3) queueing messages for each user plane packet, which is
heavy. Use a direct API call instead to reduce overhead.
- Added new structure to hold timing advance parameters
- Made SIB19 related calculation to save to this struct
- Modified in ra to get ta struct values
Move handling of sync request from MAC from UE_dl_preprocessing(). This
will process the sync request before receiving the samples of current
slot from radio so we don't 'lose' the slot.

Fronthaul xran library update to F release (2. and final step towards M-plane integration)
- xran library support -> both E and F releases
- RU delay profile removed -> not used in neither of the releases
- DU delay profile updated
- one-way delay measurements support is improved/fixed in the F release.
However, not implemented here as it depends on the RU capabilities
The "mgmt_addr" parameter is not required for USRP N310 initialization. The
critical parameter for successful operation is the "addr", which specifies
the IP address of the SFP port used for data transfer.
Including both "mgmt_addr" and "addr" can lead to initialization failures if
one of the specified addresses is unavailable. Since the "mgmt_addr" is
unnecessary for this context, it has been removed to avoid potential conflicts
and simplify the configuration.
Fix incorrect array type of determ_fin which was set to int32_t while the
array holds the results of simde_mm_abs_epi32 which produces unsigned
values.
Remove assert on right-shifting negative integers as it is impossible for
determ_fin to hold negative values.

integers.
Updates to match more fapi-compliant tx_data.request
The packing of PDUs as required in aerial for the Tx_data.Request wasn't
complaint with FAPI. That was fixed in Aerial 24-2. This change makes L2
pack the payloads in the way that Aerial now requires.
remove un-necessary global variables
Remove global variables that can be removed by a trivial way:
- simply dead globals
- or reference is a single source, so can be static
setting them static reduces the scope, that is a progress, but of course as
for all static variables, the code is still not re-entrant
