Reimplement nFAPI message exchange between L1 and L2 following the
changes in parent commit removing msgDataTx.
Avoid direct calls and use NR_IF_module fptrs to avoid linking problems.
allowing to remove some function definitions that are not needed.
Note: after this commit, monolithic works but nFAPI operation is broken
and fixed in the next commit, to keep the changes small(er). All
simulators work.
This commit removes the use of msgDataTx's intermediate buffers for FAPI
messages and the call of the "Schedule response". The latter incurs an
additional copy of FAPI messages for the TX chain (for the RX chain, it
is and will remain there) which we can avoid.
Instead, it uses an NR_Sched_Rsp_t-typed variable sched_response to
store the results of the scheduler when called from tx_func(). Thus, the
scheduler remains unchanged (it gets a pointer to where to put FAPI
messages), but we don't call nr_schedule_response() to then copy FAPI
messages into the L1, but have them in a local variable sched_response.
sched_response on on the data segment, as it is big and would overflow
the stack; at the same time, this is ok because only one tx_func() runs
at a time.
Since we don't use allocate_sched_response() anymore, we don't need
deref_sched_response().
clear_slot_beamid() is moved to tx_func(), as it was called in
nr_schedule_response().
Since the "intermediate" NR_gNB_DLSCH_t structure groups both the
DL_tti_pdsch and TX_data.req structures, a pointer has been created to
point to pdsch_pdu. This affects a number of simulators, as they have to
put some messages on the stack:
- nr_dlschsim: put the corresponding variable on the stack
- nr_pbchsim: a new array for the SSB PDUs has been introduced
Further, these changes are now necessary:
- nr_dlsim: there were variables "rel15" and "pdsch_pdu_rel15" that
point to the same PDSCH PDU. At least "rel15" would not exist, as the
corresponding pointer is now populated in phy_procedures_gNB_TX(), and
we therefore refer to the single PDSCH PDU variable with
"pdsch_pdu_rel15", but at the place where "rel15" used to be
initialized.
- nr_ulsim: use nr_save_ul_tti_req() to load PDUs into the RX chain
instead of nr_schedule_response(), which does not exist anymore.
The next commit will remove msgDataTx. We can therefore not use
msgDataTx to retain the PDSCH/DLSCH variables, and move them to the gNB.
Note that the only reason for NR_gNB_DLSCH_t after this commit is to
hold various large buffers (c, b, f). Future work could be done to
remove this, in which case the array inside PHY_VARS_gNB could be
deleted.
On this occasion, clean up the use of init_DLSCH_struct() and
reset_DLSCH_struct() (renamed destroy_DLSCH_struct()) and centralize
their call in phy_init_nr_gNB()/phy_free_nr_gNB(), and correct
simulators accordingly.
TS 38.331 clause 5.3.7.4 specifies to apply the configuration defined in 9.2.1 for SRB1 at UE side.
This implies that the gNB also has to apply sn_field_length = 12, but there are no implications on the other RLC parameters.
As wrong timer values break SRB1 e.g. for long RTT NTN scenarios, this commit switches to using the RLC timer values provided in the configuration file.
Currently we still set poll_pdu, poll_byte and max_retx_threshold to the values defined in 9.2.1, but this can be changed.
Cleanup phy_procedures_gNB_uespec_RX
phy_procedures_gNB_uespec_RX is too long function with too long lines of code,
this commit only shorten lines and improve a bit the readability
[MAC] Add UL total/used aggregated MAC stats; [E2 agent] Properly calculate
used UE PRBs in KPM; [CI] Simplify and improve the Undeploy_Object() and
implement Stop_Object()
- Create common dlul_mac_stats_t struct for both DL and UL total/used aggregated
PRBs
- Use correct unit [%] for RRU.PrbTotDl and RRU.PrbTotUl , instead of [PRBs]
- Use correct unit [Mb] for DRB.PdcpSduVolumeDL and DRB.PdcpSduVolumeUL [kb]
- Implement Stop_Object() (docker compose stop = SIGTERM)
- Simplify the Undeploy_Object() function
- Improve the logging for Deploy/Undeploy_Object() functions
- OAI-FlexRIC CI: properly stop all the containers (one by one or a subgroup of
running containers), and rename oai-flexric to nearRT-RIC container
CI: Increase tested UL throughput on Aerial pipeline using 2L UL
The goal of this MR is to activate the use of 2-layer uplink by enabling SRS
and to increase the tested UL throughput in CI.
The new format left-aligns the component name and enforces a minimum width
of 7 (log component) characters, padding shorter names with spaces after
the closing "]".

We probably almost never care about the date, but it takes a lot of
space. Remove it; if somebody needs the full time stamp including the
date, we could still add it with a new option.
1. Rename oai-flexric to nearRT-RIC. FlexRIC is a project combining nearRT-RIC, xApps, and E2 agent emulators.
2. Instead of undeploying all the containers at the same time, and not checking the logs for xApps and nearRT-RIC, do the following:
- Stop containers (docker compose stop) - one or subgroup of running containers in the following order:
a) xapp-kpm-moni
b) xapp-kpm-rc
c) xapp-gtp-mac-rlc-pdcp-moni
d) oai-nr-ue oai-nr-ue2
e) oai-gnb
f) nearRT-RIC
- Undeploy containers (docker compose down), collect and analyze all the logs.
For some test cases, we might want to stop a service earlier. This
functionality is done by StopObject().
Test log collection is still done by UndeployObject(), which will
collect the logs of all services (at that point, stopped or not).
GetRunningServices() was returning all services, running or stopped.
Hence, rename to reflect what this function does, and rewrite slightly
to better capture what is actually happening. Also, don't return the
container ID, as we don't use it.
Call stop on all services, as we will down the deployment right after.
The list of services is still used to retrieve logs.
Remove a stray "return False", which would sometimes prevent us from
seeing all error messages.
Collection of small fixes
A few fixes needed while testing FHI libraries
- set subcarrier spacing in PUSCH PDU in NRUE
- a set of two LOG_Ds that prints out the PUSCH allocation on gNB & UE
[NGAP] Fix incorrect AMF Set ID type (uint8 → uint16) causing AMF lookup failure
This PR fixes issue #1012 , a data type issue related to the AMF Set ID used
during UE RRC reestablishment. The AMF Set ID was mistakenly declared as uint8_t
instead of uint16_t, even though it is a 10-bit field as specified in 3GPP TS
23.003 section 2.10.1. As a result, AMF Set IDs greater than 255 were truncated,
leading to failed AMF lookups and the following warning: No matching AMF found
for PLMN (MCC=%03d MNC=%0*d) and AMF SetID=%u.
Verified reestablishment succeeds with AMF Set IDs >255.
DLSCH encoding is not concerned with HARQ processes directly. Instead,
it gets the redundancy version and encodes a specific redundancy version
for a given TB. The rest is up to the MAC, the L1 is stateless in that
regard. Hence, remove the HARQ type and put it into DLSCH, which also
simplifies the code elsewhere.
Similarly to the parent commit, simplify the array type to the FAPI PDU
towards further refactoring, and encapsulate the code in a function for
easier reuse in a later refactoring step.
Note on ZP-CSI: after this commit, we continue treating CSI PDUs. The
prior code was returning, which I think is wrong (as this information is
only for the currently treated CSI-RS PDU).
There is no point in tracking the "active" state: the SSB PDU will be
sent from MAC to L1, encoded, and then "discarded" (by marking the
number of SSB PDUs as 0). Hence, remove this intermediate type.
According to TS 38.211 section 6.4.1.4.3, the frequency domain shift value n_shift
is from higher-layer parameter freqDomainShift.
The quantity n_RRC is given by higher-layer parameter freqDomainPosition.
Also corrected k_0_overbar_p calculation formula to align with standard.
Problem:
- GTP-U logs showed negative TEID values (e.g., -1943516315) due to signed/unsigned
conversion. Due to wrong conversion from uint32_t to int and overflow caused negative values.
- TEID values were inconsistently formatted across different log statements, due to
mixed use of %d, %u, %x formats for TEID logging. Made debugging and troubleshooting difficult
Changes:
1. Fixed signed/unsigned conversion bug: use teid_t. Prevents overflow when TEID values exceed int range.
2. Standardized TEID logging format: all TEID values now use '0x%x' hexadecimal format.
Consistent 'TEID' capitalization throughout
According to TS 38.463 - clause 9.2.2.4 and 9.3.3.12.
Also, fix response message by encoding choice IE only
with presence of modified PDU sessions.

Both (DL) PDCCH and UL PDCCH PDU types are fundamentally of the same
type, so correct the array's type to facilitate refactoring later (a
later commit will reuse a single "generate DCI" function for both
cases).
