Refactor DLSCH scheduler Refactor the DLSCH post processor similarly to what has been done in !3521 with the goal of saving an additional iteration through all UEs, hopefully making the DLSCH scheduler faster. It further includes changes to make working with and debugging multi-UE operation easier: - add some measurements in L1 (for total TX/RX time) - a new option MACRLCs.[0].stats_max_ue to limit the number of UEs in the periodic output (default: 8, 0=disable) - avoid stack overflow in the MAC - fix the writing of stats to nrMAC_stats.log and nrL1_stats.log when the written output reduces by truncating the files - avoid to schedule retransmission with 0 RBs.

OpenAirInterface documentation overview |
This is the general overview page of the OpenAirInterface documentation.
This page groups links to general information, tutorials, design documents, radio integration, and special-purpose libraries.
IMPORTANT NOTE:
Before reading this documentation, we strongly advise you to keep your own repository rebased on develop
or at least to checkout the documentation on the version of the repository you are using.
Then the documentation will better reflect the features available in your repository so that you may avoid some errors.
Beware if you previously pulled the develop branch that your repository may be now behind develop.

Libraries
General
- The T tracer: a generic tracing tool (VCD, Wireshark, GUI, to save for later, ...)
- OPT: how to trace to wireshark
- The configuration module
- The logging module
- The shared object loader
- The threadpool used in L1
- The LDPC implementation is a shared library
- The time management module
Radios
Some directories under radio contain READMEs:
The other SDRs (AW2S, LimeSDR, ...) have no READMEs.
Special-purpose libraries
- OAI has two scopes: one based on Xforms and one based on imgui, described in this README
- OAI comes with an integrated telnet server to monitor and control
- OAI comes with an integrated web server
Testing
- UnitTests.md explains the unit testing setup
- Component tests are under
tests/. Currently, there is a simple CU-UP tester, see the corresponding README.md. - TESTBenches.md lists the CI setup and links to pipelines
- The CI setup uses a custom framework to run end-to-end tests.
Developer tools
- formatting is a clang-format error detection tool
- iwyu is a tool to detect
#includeerrors - docker-dev-env is a ubuntu24 docker development environment
