Refactor ULSCH scheduler towards more TDD pattern flexibility
Refactors ULSCH scheduler, notably to support "UL-heavy" TDD patterns,
e.g., DSUUU. Also allows to run TDD pattern2 with UL slots, which was a
limitation in the previous code.
Adds the capability to pack/unpack the TDD table in CONFIG.request
following both SCF222.10.02 (Tag 0x1027) and SCF222.10.04 (Tag 0x1035)
formats In the case of Aerial, the TDD table is packed following the
10.04 format, but with the 10.02 tag Prevent the packing of Digital
Beamforming table and Precoding Matrix table for Aerial
Checks whether there are at least 4 bytes available to pull tag and length values.
On tlv_list unpack, if the size is sent as 0, immediately exit the function
Created a function nr_error_ind_cb for the VNF that takes a received ERROR.indication and shows some details regarding the reported error from the PNF, since up until now it was not handled and treated as an unknown message.
Proper error handling procedure not created, only shows that the error occurred.
The common library exposes functions for the PNF to return the received blocks to the VNF for it to call WLS_Enqueue on them.
This is done in order to ensure the Blocks are returned after processing, also preventing the Dequeueing of blocks that are still being used, i.e. the internal value is not -1
All saved blocks are to be enqueued at the reception of a SLOT.indication by the VNF
Additionally, the definition of NFAPI_MAX_PACKED_MESSAGE_SIZE was moved to nfapi_interface.h and removed from the other headers, this is done to allow to set the maximum message size when using WLS by only changing the value in one place
Fixup fapi_nr_message_header_unpack call in nfapi_hex_parser
This change is done in preparation to add the header unpack functions to the VNF and PNF structures as function pointers, used to peek the message headers prior to processing.
Add a faux fapi_nr_p7_message_header_unpack with the same signature as nfapi_nr_p7_message_header_unpack, to be used for the P7 header unpack function pointer.
Adds the packing and unpacking functions needed for the PM Table in CONFIG.request
This table tag is specified in SCF222.10.06(0x104B), previous versions didn't have a tag for this table, and this version of the spec introduces the parameter `num_pm_idx`, previously not present.
A struct nfapi_nr_pm_tlv_ve_t is added to represent this TLV in order to be able to use the pack_nr_tlv function.
The necessary additions to the utility functions are done to account for this table.
The unitary test is changed to fill this table with randomized data to test transport and copy.
Adds the packing and unpacking functions needed for the DBT Table in CONFIG.request
This table tag is specified in SCF222.5.0 (0x1043) and this tag is used to transport the table, previous versions did not include a tag for the table.
A struct nfapi_nr_dbt_tlv_ve_t is added to represent this TLV in order to be able to use the pack_nr_tlv function.
The necessary additions to the utility functions are done to account for this table.
The unitary test is changed to fill this table with randomized data to test transport and copy.
Add the ability to pack/unpack 2 new TLVs for analog beamforming
total_num_beams_vendor_ext and analog_beam_list
Add the unpack related changes for the first 2 vendor extension TLVs introduced related to beamforming.
For the moment the packing is guarded by an Assert to ensure it is not used.
Add the necessary utility function changes to support these VE TLVs
Add the necessary changes to the corresponding unitary test for pack/unpack,
commented for the moment, since the packing is disabled with an Assert.
Add a function pullx32 to pull x amount of bytes into uint32_t
Change the unpacking to pull only the needed bytes, and skip over the padding, when not Aerial
Change SRS.indication dumping function to also print the report TLV contents
Change SRS.indication unitary test to fill the last 4 byte block of the report TLV according to the length, with padding
Repair nFAPI in 5G
Add 5G nFAPI in OAI/Make it it work.
Many commits in this branch are basically bug fixes of things that don't work
properly, such as
- check for correct conditions (e.g. instance numbers in the RAN context)
- remove artificial limitation (e.g. only one PUCCH per TDD period in the PNF)
- improve performance (reduce big mallocs, make some static buffers such as a
global ring buffer for nFAPI messages in the PNF)
- fix bugs in nFAPI (e.g., increase maximum message size to ~64kB instead of
1500 bytes, because the latter is way too small for many TX_data.requests in
5G, and it will delay message arrival unduly)
- fix bugs in message enc/dec (e.g., handle FDD in config.request)
- adjust the L1 such that the condition "we run monolithic" is not necessery
(e.g., some message numbers in nFAPI struct where reset in MAC, instead of
L1, and this breaks when running the PNF)
There are instructions that explain how to set it up. Two CI tests have been
added, one with COTS UE and MIMO in DL+UL in TDD numerology 1 (30kHz), and a
second test with FDD mu=0 (15kHZ) in RFsimulator.
These were some old to-dos that have been addressed.
- test with COTS UE - 4x4 pipeline works good in DL, UL now also work
- test in RFsim
- make PNF status message
- make FDD in u0 work
Add utility functions to print the FAPI messages contents
Add dump functions for DL_TTI.request PDUs, remaining message structures to be finished
Add file examples.md with some examples on how to use nfapi_hex_parser
This change makes it so the fapi_nr_p7_message_pack is used to pack TX_DATA.request for Aerial, reducing the amount of repeated code.
Add the capability to pack TLVs with TAG=2 (offset from first address)
Packs the TLV.length differently according to whether or not Aerial is in use ( for Aerial TLV.length is 16-bit, for OAI is 32-bit )
Changed parameter in unpack function to be inline with other unpack functions.
Changed nfapi_p7_allocate call to calloc to avoid dependency to NFAPI_LIB.
Added unitary test for RACH.indication( test pack/unpack, free, copy and compare )
Added constant NFAPI_NR_RACH_IND_MAX_PDU to follow constants related to other P7 messages limiting the maximum number of PDUs to use.
Removed now unneeded dependency to NFAPI_LIB and NFAPI_USER_LIB
Changed parameter in unpack_nr_srs_indication to void * to be inline with other unpack procedures.
Added memory allocation for pdu_list inside unpack function.
Add unitary test for SRS.indication( test pack/unpack, free, copy and compare )
Added rands16 to provide random int16_t values, needed for SRS.indication unitary test
Added constant NFAPI_NR_SRS_IND_MAX_PDU to follow constants related to other P7 messages limiting the maximum number of PDUs to use.
This adds the equality, free and copy functions for SRS.indication message as described in the Table 3–129 of SCF222.10.04, it does not add the functions for the report type structures, as these are always sent/received inside the uint32_t array.
The utility functions for these will be added at a later commit, and subsequently tested in the upcoming unitary test for SRS.indication.
Extra utility function to calculate allocated memory added.
Reordered PDU pack/unpack function to follow PDU value order

This change was first added for compatibility with Aerial L1.
