Guido Casati bc9c59f186 Add NGAP RAN Status Transfer enc/dec and handlers (UL and DL)
According to 4.9.1.3.3 of 3GPP TS 23.502:

> 2a. - 2c. The S-RAN sends the Uplink RAN Status Transfer message to the S-AMF,
> as specified in TS 36.300 [46] and TS 38.300 [9]. The S-RAN may omit sending
> this message if none of the radio bearers of the UE shall be treated with PDCP status preservation.

TS 38.300 says:
> For DRBs not configured with DAPS, the source gNB sends the SN STATUS TRANSFER message to the target
> gNB to convey the uplink PDCP SN receiver status and the downlink PDCP SN transmitter status of DRBs for
> which PDCP status preservation applies (i.e. for RLC AM). The uplink PDCP SN receiver status includes at
> least the PDCP SN of the first missing UL PDCP SDU and may include a bit map of the receive status of the out
> of sequence UL PDCP SDUs that the UE needs to retransmit in the target cell, if any. The downlink PDCP SN
> transmitter status indicates the next PDCP SN that the target gNB shall assign to new PDCP SDUs, not having a
> PDCP SN yet.

i.e., for DRBs for which PDCP status preservation applies (i.e. for RLC AM), which is is our case.

This commit introduces full support for NG-RAN Status Transfer message handling
(TS 38.413 §9.2.3.13-14) in CU. It enables correct state transfer of PDCP COUNT
values (SN + HFN) during mobility or recovery scenarios.

Summary of changes - NGAP:
* Added encoding/decoding support for UL/DL RAN Status Transfer message
* Defined structures for: ngap_drb_count_value_t, ngap_drb_status_t,
  ngap_ran_status_container_t, ngap_ran_status_transfer_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.
