Remove the --usim-test option: to my knowledge, it's not used by users,
and is misleadingly placed in various places where there should not be a
difference w.r.t. USIM configuration.
When making the changes, I assumed that --usim-test would be 0 (the
default), which is the case in all executables when not specified in
options except for the nr_dlsim, nr_pbchsmi, nr_ulsim simulators.
The only exception is the initialization of PDCP from the MAC, which is
not correct (the PDCP is in the CU, so it does not make sense to call it
from the MAC which is in the DU). Instead, always initialize from main,
even in the NSA case (NSA was covered by the incorrect initialization
from MAC).
This in turn let to some more cleanup around function du_rlc_data_req().
After receiving GTP packets at the DU, they were given to the PDCP to
enqueue the packet at RLC. This does not work anymore, since the PDCP is
not initialized; it also does not seem necessary, as this enqueue
functionality is necessary to decouple PDCP and RLC to avoid deadlocks
in monolithic, but in split-mode, this cannot happen. Instead, call
directly into the RLC when receiving GTP packets.
It provides and overview about the Architecture, Requirement Packages,
Configuration Files, How to run Data Recording Application, and an
Overview on Collected Data Set.
The data recording App includes the following files:
- The main app: data_recording_app_v1.0.py that has the data control service, interact with tracers, and data sync and conversion service
- The configuration file: common/utils/data_recording/config/config_data_recording.json
- The wireless dictionary file: common/utils/data_recording/config/wireless_link_parameter_map.yaml
- The SigMF Interface (common/utils/data_recording/lib/sigmf_interface.py) to store recorded data and meta-data in SigMF format
- A simple script (common/utils/data_recording/sync_validation_demo.py) to validate that the recorded bits from gNB and UE are in Sync
- For more info look to doc/data_recording.md
A squashed commit further updates:
- Enhance Data Recording App structure
- Support the new state machine of T-Tracers
- Add new files for Config Interface, sync Service, def of data recording messages, and common utilties
- Make part of logging on Terminal configurable
- Add _tracer_app_gnb and t_tracer_app_ue apps to common/utils/T/tracer/Makefile
- Add Data collection Service for gNB: common/utils/T/tracer/t_tracer_app_gnb.c
- Add Data Collection Service for UE: common/utils/T/tracer/t_tracer_app_ue.c
- Add Shared memory configuration (common/utils/T/tracer/shared_memory_config.h),
since We will have too much memory consumption on the stack if the
T-tracer is not fast enough to process the traces or if we have too
much traces. As a result, tracers start to capture data, write data in
shared memory, then close the T-Tracer after getting the recording of
N slots
- Support the operation of : COnfig, Record, and Stop
- Poll from Socket and not use get_events to mitigate long-time waiting
if there is no data in buffer or the UE is already released or crashed
- Add extra offset to improve data sync
- Update input parameters to nr_ulsch_encoding () in
nr_transport_proto_ue.h to get number_dmrs_symbols to be added to
meta-data.
- In nr_ulsch_coding.c: Trace UE PHY UL Payload TX bits (T_message:
T_UE_PHY_UL_PAYLOAD_TX_BITS) including related meta-data and UTC time.
- In nr_ulsch_ue.c: Trace UE PHY UL Scrambled TX bits (T_message:
T_UE_PHY_UL_SCRAMBLED_TX_BITS) including related meta-data and UTC
time.
- Fix the input prameters in nr_ulsch_encoding () called in
(openair1/SIMULATION/NR_PHY/ulschsim.c) since a new input parameter
has been added.
- The required memories have been created and initialized in:
openair1/PHY/NR_TRANSPORT/nr_ulsch_demodulation.c
- Those memories: memory for DMRS signals, memory for channel estimates
based on DMRS positions, memory to store slot grid with channel
coefficients based on DMRS positions after interpolation, and memory
to store extracted data including PUSCH + DMRS.
- The input parameters to nr_pusch_channel_estimation() has been updated
to get the pointer to the added memories of pusch_dmrs_slot_mem and
pusch_ch_est_dmrs_pos_slot_mem
(openair1/PHY/NR_ESTIMATION/nr_ul_estimation.h)
- The DMRS grid of NR slot and the estimated channel coefficients at
DMRS locations are logged to created memories in:
openair1/PHY/NR_ESTIMATION/nr_ul_channel_estimation.c
- The function inner_rx in
openair1/PHY/NR_TRANSPORT/nr_ulsch_demodulation.c is updated to log
the extracted ULSCH PRBs and the interpolated channel coefficients.
- The T-macro() has been called in
(openair1/PHY/NR_TRANSPORT/nr_ulsch_demodulation.c) to trace added
traces: T_GNB_PHY_UL_FD_DMRS, T_GNB_PHY_UL_FD_CHAN_EST_DMRS_POS,
T_GNB_PHY_UL_FD_PUSCH_IQ, T_GNB_PHY_UL_FD_CHAN_EST_DMRS_INTERPL

RAN-Container-Parent: Auto-generate artifact in failure case
RAN-Container-Parent uses Jenkinsfile-GitLab-Container, which only
triggers sub pipelines, then collects their results. However, if a sub
pipeline did not generate an artifact, the result was skipped. It would
also not show it in the automatically generated result page, when it
should.
Remedy this by automatically generating a file with a link to the
pipeline if the artifact could not be retrieved, which
1. Will give a link, which is easier for developers to follow to the
pipeline than manually clicking through Jenkins,
2. Makes the failed pipeline appear in the list of failed pipelines.
CI: test T2 with DPDK 22.11
Following the upgrade of T2 to the latest firmware, DPDK 22.11 is now required.
This MR updates the testing pipeline to ensure compatibility and deployment of
T2 physims with DPDK 22.11.
bridge->nb_cnx++ is done before calling snprintf(modelname,... in the function,
so we take the model name of the next channel. This commit corrects the issue by
using bridge->nb_cnx - 1, ensuring that the model name corresponds to the currently
connected client.
This bug was introduced by MR !3455.

CI: Change RU in Aerial setup from Foxconn to WNC
- Change frequency in the gNB config file, from 3.75GHz to 3.5GHz
- Add high throughput tests with may_fail tag (1Gbps in DL and 90Mbps in UL)
- Update Aerial tutorial to match the changes
NR UE: Enable additional PDU session
- fix a bug with wraparound of buffer_remain_ep
- Add --extra-pdu-id command line option
Testing procedure:
1. Start cn in openairinterface5g/doc/tutorial_resources/oai-cn5g with
docker compose up
2. Start gnb:
sudo ./nr-softmodem -O ../../targets/PROJECTS/GENERIC-NR-5GC/CONF/gnb.sa.band78.fr1.106PRB.usrpb210.conf --gNBs.[0].min_rxtxtime 6 --rfsim --rfsimulator.server_address server
3. Monitor extra interfaces being created:
watch -n 0.5 "ifconfig | grep tun"
4. Start UE:
sudo ./nr-uesoftmodem -C 3619200000 -r 106 --numerology 1 --ssb 516 --band 78 --rfsim --uicc0.imsi 001010000000001 --extra-pdu-id 11
5. An extra tun interface oaitun_ue1p11 should be created. Observe in
the terminal from step 3
6. Ping the core network from both interfaces, e.g., ping -I
oaitun_ue1p11 10.0.0.1, ping -I oaitun_ue1 10.0.0.1. This should
generate traffic on the gNB on different LCIDs.
Measurement gaps
Scheduling measurement gaps to provide sufficient time for the UE to
re-tune its transceiver to the target carrier, complete the set of
measurements and then re-tune its transceiver back to the original
carrier.
This commit reduces the UL throughput target in the 2x2 test to align
with the host’s performance capabilities. The adjustment ensures more
reliable and consistent CI results.
Based on observations from testing on acamas, the interval between DL
disruption and the UE synch check needs to be increased - the UE takes
longer to go out of sync . A sleep of 15 seconds has proven to be a
reliable value to ensure constant results.
fix(RLC): Count dropped DL SDUs by the RLC
When a downlink SDU was discarded by the RLC Acknowledged Mode entity
due to a full transmit buffer (tx_maxsize), the drop statistics were not
being updated. The txpdu_dd_pkts and txpdu_dd_bytes counters remained at
0. It should be noted that while the statistics are named txpdu_dd_*,
the drop at this stage occurs at the SDU level.
speedup NR RLC RX for AM
rx_list is replaced by an array of size 2^(SN size - 1) which is 131072
for an SN size of 18 bits, leading to 1048576 bytes of memory used.
(Less for smaller SN sizes.)
A lot of RX processing was to run through rx_list. When the list was big
(with some non-ideal channel), it can take some time. Removing this list
should improve things. Checking with benchmark_nr_rlc_am_entity a
speedup of more thant x10 is achieved (except for the case 1024 which is
surprisingly faster than the others in the develop branch).
The only thing that may be slower is when looking for cur->next where
the SN is different, in which case we need to look for all SN one by one
until we find something or reach the limit (rx_highest_status). These
are the functions get_first_rx_pdu() and get_next_rx_pdu().
Add SYS_NICE capability to enable setting thread priority and affinity
in rfsim5g tests. This improves execution speed in test cases with
heavier processing workloads.
When migrating from RHEL (on cacofonix) to Ubuntu 22.04 (on acamas), the `nc`
command needs to be replaced by `ncat`. The version of `nc` available on Ubuntu
is the OpenBSD variant, which lacks support for some options used in our scripts.
`ncat` from the Nmap is used instead.
