Guido Casati 0c408875a3 Refactor NGAP decodePDUSessionResourceSetup/Modify to improve RRC/NGAP separation
Motivation of the commit:

Previously, the RRC module on the NGAP interface directly handled ASN.1 decoding
of NGAP PDU Session Resource items, that was directly stored in pdusession_t, i.e.
in the UE context. Decode logic between Setup and Modify was also duplicated.,
e.g. fill_qos/fill_qos2. The idea behind this change is to achieve this flow:
(1) NGAP handler: decoding (2) ITTI to RRC: transfer decoded message (3) RRC
handler: process decoded message, e.g. store in UE context, etc..

The goal of this commit is to:

* improve the NGAP decoding library by adding decoding functions
* let RRC handle the already decoded data
* enhance error handling, with decode failures now consistently detected and rejected early
* have a cleaner, more maintainable code with fewer duplications and a clearer separation of modules

Changes:
* Moved all ASN.1 decode logic for PDU Session Resource items into the NGAP library
* Introduced decode functions for NGAP IEs whenever necessary, e.g. decode_TNLInformation
decode_pdusession_transfer
* Removed duplicate fill_qos functions and centralized QoS handling in NGAP
* Added function to copy from NGAP PDU Session Resource item to RRC pdusession_t: this actually
  replaces decodePDUSessionResourceSetup in RRC, copying from the decoded NGAP struct to
  the UE context pdusession_t

How to get support from the OAI Community

You can ask your question on the mailing lists.

Your email should contain below information:

  • A clear subject in your email.
  • For all the queries there should be [Query] in the subject of the email and for problems there should be [Problem].
  • In case of a problem, add a small description.
  • Do not share any photos unless you want to share a diagram.
  • OAI gNB/DU/CU/CU-CP/CU-UP configuration file in .conf format only.
  • Logs of OAI gNB/DU/CU/CU-CP/CU-UP in .log or .txt format only.
  • In case your question is related to performance, include a small description of the machine (Operating System, Kernel version, CPU, RAM and networking card) and diagram of your testing environment.
  • Known/open issues are present on GitLab, so keep checking.

Always remember a structured email will help us understand your issues quickly.
