Robert Schmidt 859494112a Merge remote-tracking branch 'origin/e1ap-lib-improvements' into integration_2025_w06 (!3219)
E1AP enc/dec lib improvements

This MR is including some fixes and improvements for the E1AP library,
focusing mostly on Bearer Context Management:

- struct reorganization: split setup and modification request messages
  into distinct structures, ensuring compliance with 3GPP TS 38.463
  specifications
- add encoding/decoding sub-functions for different IEs
- improvements to Bearer Context Management: Implemented various
  improvements to the E1 Bearer Context Setup Response and Request,
  including the adoption of encoding/decoding sub-functions for
  different IEs
- use lib functions whenever need (e.g. cp_bearer_context_setup_request
  in cucp_cuup_e1ap.c)
- handle optional struct members as pointers
- updated copy/equality check utility functions

EDIT: The MR is also including the changes from !3222 (closed):

> While testing E1 with security enabled for DRBs, it was found that
> data traffic was not functional.
>
> The problem was that security settings were modified in the PDCP
> reestablishment happening when receiving Bearer Context Modification
> Request.
>
> So some restructuring was done.
>
> The actual fix is in 18176297, the others are for support. Basically
> we introduce a boolean to check if the security settings are present in
> Bearer Context Modification Request and we change PDCP security settings
> only if they are.
>
> (Note that in OAI CU security settings are not sent in Bearer Context
> Modification Request, so we could also remove all this, but we need to
> be compatible with other cu-up and/or cu-cp.)

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.
