ran_func_kpm.c uses cp_ba_to_str(), but it is not defined in OAI. Define
it so we can link properly, instead of relying on FlexRIC (where it was
defined).
Useful to debug realtime issues, for example when calling a periodical
routine, if it's not programmed carefully enough, it may be that the first
call takes way longer than the next ones (for example it uses some memory
that is not mapped in the process, leading to many page faults the first
time it's executed).
Having a periodic log for the timing of this routine with min/avg/max/count
will reveal that a call is way longer than average and will help in
finding where exactly in the code the time is spent, thanks to the ease
of use of the T tracer; you put T(T_XX, T_INT(1)) just before the code
you want to measure, you put T(T_XX, T_INT(0)) just after and time_meas
will show the delta time between those events. Then you cut the routine
in smaller pieces, measure with T(1)/T(0), and you finally reach the small
guilty part that takes too long.
In time_meas.c, when getting 0 for the event, we log delta time with
previous 1 for the event. "start_valid" was not cleared, so receiving
a second 0 without 1 in between may lead to wrong logging.
Should not happen in practice, but still, little bug.
(Note: we don't protect against streams of 1, but this case should also
not happen.)
Delay compensation for PUCCH2
- Implementation of delay compensation for PUCCH2, which minimizes for
exampe logs "reported RSRP index XXX invalid"
- Adding a test to the CI to perform the delay compensation in PUCCH2
- Refactor code to use c16_t data type in PUCCH decoder
Remove spinlock from threadpool task return
The idea to use atomic aligned to cache line for counting finished jobs
is reused, but instead of polling a semaphore was added.
Improvements for PUSCH per symbol processing
- Improved the assert in task_ans.c
- Fixed and issue with PUSCH per-symbol processing that could cause an
issue in case num_pusch_symbols_per_thread is not 1.
The parent commit cleans up and groups oai_exit in one place,
nr-softmodem-common.h. Therefore, this 5G file is included in the 4G
defs_common.h (at least it's mostly 4G), which is not nice. Instead,
define oai_exit also in 4G softmodem-common.h, and include this in
defs_common.h. Remove the cyclic inclusion of defs_common.h in
softmodem-common.h, and resolve all subsequent errors around unknown
types and extern definition mismatches.
This assert checks if the structure is correctly initialized. The structure
is one-time use so the assert is valid, but the value of the atomic was added
to the output to improve debugging.
Add support for O1 in O-DU via telnet
This change set adds a simple telnet interface to nr-softmodem. Together
with oai/o1-adapter>, this implements a part of the O1 interface, for
the DU only. Currently supported uses cases:
- some stats are send to an SMO (such as bandwidth, PLMN, frequency, ...)
- re-configuration of bandwidth, frequency
- stop/start of the softmodem, while keeping the CU and L2 running
- the o1-adapter implements two alarms, load overload and base station
offline, using this interface.
It is possible to use the telnet interface by itself (i.e., "o1" without
the o1-adapter). To do this, compile with telnet support (./build_oai
--build-lib telnetsrv) and start the nr-softmodem with O1 module
(./nr-softmodem --telnetsrv --telnetsrv.shrmod o1). You can then do the
following:
- see some statistics as exposed to o1-adapter, in JSON: echo o1 stats | nc 127.0.0.1 9090 && echo
- stop the L1: echo o1 stop_modem | nc 127.0.0.1 9090 && echo
- reconfigure bandwidth: e.g., echo o1 bwconfig 20 | nc 127.0.0.1 9090 && echo (also supported: 40, 60, 100)
- start the L1: echo o1 start_modem | nc 127.0.0.1 9090 && echo
Note that the reconfiguration works with split-8 radios. Notably, it
does not work yet out-of-the-box with 7.2 radios, because they have to
be manually reconfigured on bandwith/frequency switch. The planned
M-plane should allow such use case, though.
To help with the above, this branch also includes fixes (for more
information, refer to the corresponding commits):
- fixes for stopping the L1, notably stop threads in right order, stop
thread pool of RU
- collect some general MAC metrics, fix some bugs in MAC
- fix problems in F1AP gNB-DU configuration update message, update test
- fix some problems in RRC
This adds a basic telnet module to support the O1 interface at the DU,
to be used together with the oai/o1-adapter>. Concretely, this first
version supports to
- read/modify cell parameters
- stop/start the L1
A later commit implements the "restart" of the L1. The L1 reads
configuration options. First, allow to re-read configurations by
increasing the amount of memory the config module might allocate. Then,
avoid an out-of-bound write by checking that we still have memory
available (and assert if not possible).
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
Align YAML config getlist with libconfig implementation
This aligns the behavior of params_yaml with params_config library:
- when a mapping is read using getlist it returns the number of elements in
the mapping instead of 0
- when a mapping is read using get it returns the number of parameters used
for input
T tracer: add macpdu traces for the NR UE
MIB, SIB1, random access and regular scheduling are traced.
At the beginning of a connection (rrc setup request and rrc setup), the
RNTI is reported as 0. Might be fixed, somehow, if absolutely needed (not
sure).
- removed some whitespace noise.
- cleaned up CMakeLists.txt
- reintegrated task_manager.c into thread-pool.c
- cleaned up some unnecessary code

Update NR UE threading model
This updates the NR UE threading model by preventing calling threadpool
from threadpool and fixes deadlock issues related to processSlotTX. By
making processSlotTX run to completion instead of starting and waiting
for other threads to finish it prevents locking thread pool cores,
therefore prevening deadlocks.
There is a slight difference here compared to the previous version where
I do not use the UL actor as I believe it is not necessary,
processSlotTX satisfies the run-to-completion requirement now. If in the
future any UL procedure would be parallelized using the thread pool it
should either be done in a run-to-completion model or the processSlotTX
function should be taken off the thread pool.
The documentation has been updated.
Implement run-to-completion for processSlotTX. This is achieved by using a new
dynamic_barrier_t which allows to specify callback after the first join has been
made.
This commit introduces dynamic_barrier_t. Its a thread barrier that counts joins
but allows callback to be specified later. See std::barrier for a basic barrier
description.
Refactor of includes in gNB/UE for improved header management
This merge request implements changes suggested by the Include What You Use
(IWYU) open source tool to streamline the project’s header file usage.
The adjustments ensure that each file includes only the necessary headers for
the symbols it uses, making the code more efficient and maintainable.
Unnecessary includes have been removed, and missing headers have been added
where required. This improves modularity and reduces inter-dependencies between
files, helping to avoid future build issues caused by unused or missing includes.
Each output has been manually reviewed.
Followed a similar approach as in !2953 (merged).
Affected folders/files:
- NR_MAC_gNB/main.c
