The E1AP Setup Request contained the network configuration (IP address,
ports) as well as the actual E1AP Setup Request application data
(Supported PLMNs, ...). This has the drawbacks that
- The E1AP Setup Request is stored to retrieve IP addresses in the E1AP
module, which is confusing as the Setup Request, per standard, has no IP
info
- The CU-CP received an E1 Setup Request for configuration during start
up, but it did not actually receive such Setup Request, but merely the
IP configuration to set up the socket
This commit splits the E1AP Setup Request into a "real" Setup Request
for application data, and creates a new type e1ap_net_config_t to group
all IP configuration data. Further, a new ITTI message type
E1AP_REGISTER_REQ is introduced to group both types. What happens is
- RCconfig_NR_CU_E1() reads both E1AP application-level data and IP
configuration, as previously
- The data is sent to the CU-CP. It discards the E1AP Setup Request
data, and only uses the network configuration to set up the socket
- The data is sent to the CU-UP. It uses the network configuration to
connect to the CU-CP, and then sends the E1AP Setup Request to the
CU-CP.
Currently, the CU-CP still stores the Setup Request locally, which will
be changed in the next commit to send it to the RRC.
