batuhan duyuler cec6b8925a Preparation of Neighbour Configuration & Measurement Configuration | Parsing the configuration
- neighbour_config.conf file includes neighbour and measurement related parameters
Neighbour List:
 - nr_cellid: the identity of existing cell who has neighbour
 - neighbour_cell_configuration(list): includes the identity parameters
   of the neighbour cell such:
    - gNBID (incase of N2 Handover / to be identified from AMF)
    - nr_cell_id (target gNB needs to consider)
    - physical_cellId (needed for measurement reporting)
    - absoluteFrequencySSB (needed for measurement reporting)
    - subcarrierSpacing (needed for measurement reporting)
    - plmn / tracking area code (incase of N2 Handover / needed for AMF
      to identify / allow HO)

NR Measurement Configuration
 - Periodical
    - enable (default is 0, 1 enables the reporting)
    - includeBeamMeasurements, maxNrOfRS_IndexesToReport (configurable
      reporting parameters)
 - A2
    - enable (default is 0, 1 enables the reporting)
    - threshold , timeToTrigger (configurable reporting parameters)
 - A3
    - cell_id (the nr_cellid of neighbour cell. So this A3 parameters
      will be used for the neighbour
        - [-1] means default. so it can be applied to any neighbour if
          there is no specific config
        - Neighbour specific A3 Threshold can be used or default can be
          selected depending to the neighbour planning
        - The neighbour-config.conf specifies, apply default A3 for
          neighbours 3 and 4 | apply specific one for neighbour 2

    - offset, hysteresis, timeToTrigger (configurable reporting parameters)

the neighbour_config.conf can be included in the gNB.conf file. Example
is given: gnb.sa.band78.106prb.rfsim.neighbour.conf

A sequence array container is used for neighbour cell configuration. RRC
structure has this container.  A Measurement configuration structure is
defined. This structure has Periodical / A2 Event structures and also a
sequence container for A3 Event List.

These structures are filled during the initialization. While F1 Setup
Response is coming from DU to CU, the intra frequency / inter frequency
neighbour decision is given for the existing cell. Also new neighbours
could be added here if needed.

Configuration files: naming style guide

The configuration files should have the following name format:

<type>[.<sa|nsa>][.band<num>.[u<num>.]<num>prb].<sdr>[.<opt>].conf

Where:

  • [] means this field is optional
  • <type>: one of gnb, enb, gnb-cu, gnb-du, nrue, lteue, etc.
  • <sa|nsa>: in the case of 5G, notes whether this is SA or NSA
  • <num> for band/u/prb: numerical value. Note that band/PRB are only applicable in some cases. The numerology u is only to be set for 5G if it differs from u1.
  • <sdr>: what SDR board/split this is tailored for:
    • e.g., usrpb210, usrpn310, rfsim, aw2s
    • if there is no SDR (e.g., for a CU), use the south-bound split, e.g., f1, if4p5, etc.
    • for the L2simulator, write l2sim
  • <opt>: optional specifiers. If there are multiple, concatenated using a dash (-). Examples:
    • 2x2
    • prs (positioning reference signal)
    • ddsuu (specific TDD pattern)
    • tm2: Transmission Mode 2 in 4G
    • oaiue: specifies usage with OAI UE and not COTS UE

Examples:

  • standard monolithic gNB, 2x2 configuration, with SDAP: gnb.sa.band78.162prb.usrpn310.2x2-sdap.conf
  • gNB-CU: gnb-cu.sa.f1.conf
  • monolithic gNB, L2sim: gnb.sa.band77.106prb.l2sim.conf
  • monolithic eNB: enb.band7.25prb.usrpb200.conf
  • RCC (4G eNB with IF4.5 split): enb-rcc.band7.25prb.tm1.if4p5.conf

Notes:

  • there is no need for TDD/FDD, this is encoded in the band number
  • there is no need for FR1/FR2, this is encoded in the band number
