As per TS 38.401 §8.7: if the UE accesses a DU different from the original
one during re-establishment, the CU must trigger UE Context Setup toward
the new DU. This refers to steps 9-10 and steps 9'-10'. Either one or the
other can be executed during re-establishment.
e.g. if this happens during F1 handover, it shall trigger a
UE Context Setup fallback on the CU.
This commit implements the required behavior:
1. Detection mechanism:
- Add `old_du_assoc_id` field to `f1_ue_data_t` to store the original
DU association ID
- At RRCReestablishmentRequest: Store original `du_assoc_id` in
`old_du_assoc_id` and update `du_assoc_id` to the new DU
- At RRCReestablishmentComplete: Compare `old_du_assoc_id` with the
`assoc_id` from the Complete message to detect different DU
2. UE Context Setup trigger:
- In `rrc_gNB_process_RRCReestablishmentComplete()`: When different DU
is detected, call `rrc_f1_ue_context_setup_for_target_du()` to trigger
UE Context Setup procedure (per TS 38.401 §8.7, NOTE on steps 9-10)
upon reception of UL RRC MESSAGE TRANSFER
- In `rrc_CU_process_ue_modification_required()`: Refuse UE Context
Modification Required when `old_du_assoc_id != 0` to avoid conflicts
with the ongoing UE Context Setup procedure (per TS 38.401 §8.7, NOTE
on steps 9'-10')
3. UE Context Setup:
- Replace `clone_CellGroupConfig()` with `get_cellgroup_config()` in
UE Context Setup handler
- Call `update_cellgroup_for_reestablishment()` during UE Context Setup
when `reestablish_rlc` flag is set to prepare CellGroupConfig with
reestablishRLC flags
- Clean up `old_du_assoc_id` in `rrc_CU_process_ue_context_setup_response()`
- Add `free_ue_context_mod_req()` call after UE Context Modification request
4. Function signature updates:
- Update `handle_rrcReestablishmentComplete()` to accept `gNB_DU_ue_id`
and `assoc_id` parameters, change return type from `int` to `void`
- Update `rrc_gNB_process_RRCReestablishmentComplete()` to accept
`assoc_id` parameter
- Update `rrc_gNB_decode_dcch()` to accept and forward `assoc_id` parameter
Re-establishment on different DU flow (TS 38.401 §8.7, steps 9-10):
1. UE sends RRCReestablishmentRequest to new DU
2. DU forwards to CU via UL RRC MESSAGE TRANSFER
3. CU detects different DU (`assoc_id != ue_data.du_assoc_id`):
- Stores `old_du_assoc_id = ue_data.du_assoc_id` (original DU)
- Updates `ue_data.du_assoc_id = assoc_id` (new DU)
4. CU sends RRCReestablishment to UE
5. UE sends RRCReestablishmentComplete to new DU
6. DU forwards to CU via UL RRC MESSAGE TRANSFER
7. CU detects different DU scenario (with old_du_assoc_id):
- Triggers UE Context Setup Request to new DU via `rrc_f1_ue_context_setup_for_target_du()`
8. DU receives UE Context Setup Request:
- Detects re-establishment (`UE->reestablish_rlc` flag)
- Calls `update_cellgroup_for_reestablishment()` to set reestablishRLC flags
- Encodes CellGroupConfig with reestablishRLC flags and sends to CU
9. CU receives UE Context Setup Response:
- Stores encoded CellGroupConfig
- Clears `old_du_assoc_id = 0`
10. CU sends RRC Reconfiguration with transparent CellGroupConfig to UE
