Guido Casati 4db49a8767 RRC: Implement proper NH chain synchronization for RRC Reestablishment
Refactor key derivation logic to properly handle Next Hop (NH) chain
synchronization according to 3GPP TS 33.501 specifications for both
RRC Reestablishment and Master Key Update procedures.

Changes in rrc_gNB.c:
- Clarify key derivation in rrc_gNB_generate_RRCReestablishment by
  explicitly selecting base key (NH or KgNB) based on nh_ncc value
- Add comment explaining vertical vs horizontal derivation logic

Changes in rrc_UE.c:
- Add nr_sync_nh_chain(): Common helper to synchronize NH parameter
  chain per TS 33.501 Annex A.10, supporting both Master Key Update
  and RRC Reestablishment procedures
- Add nr_derive_kgnb_horizontal(): Derive KNG-RAN* from current KgNB
  when NCC values match (horizontal derivation per TS 33.501 A.11/A.12)
- Add nr_derive_kgnb_vertical(): Derive KNG-RAN* from synchronized NH
  after NH chain sync (vertical derivation per TS 33.501 A.11/A.12)
- Add nr_update_kgnb_from_ncc(): Unified function implementing TS 33.501
  6.9.2.3.4 logic for updating KgNB based on received nextHopChainingCount
- Refactor as_security_key_update(): Use new nr_update_kgnb_from_ncc()
  helper function for cleaner, more maintainable code
- Fix nr_rrc_ue_process_rrcReestablishment(): Properly handle received
  nextHopChainingCount and update KgNB using unified helper function
- Add debug logging for key derivation process

Key NAS deriver utils:
- update derive_kgnb documentation and protect input keys with const attribute

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.
