inspired by accepted (but not yet merged) PR to include the
(unique_)byte_buffer_t for MAC/PHY interfacing, this patch adds
a few more useful bits to that. Buffer management for UL data is now
done in MAC and only a pointer to the data is passed in the UL action.
* Move Tx softbuffer to MAC (until UL HARQ class is ready)
* Remove temparal data member in cc_worker
* Remove memcpy after packing MAC PDU
after adding the thread-safe PCAP writer functionality to the EUTRA
MAC object it became clear that we don't wont to replicate the
same for the NR object.
This patch therefore refactors the class that now supports both EUTRA and
NR rats. The old mac_nr_pcap.[h/cc] has been deleted. All test-cases
and usages now use the new object that needs to pass the RAT type in
the ctor.
this patch addresses the last open point of #2160
* Replaced UE logger in the ue class.
* Replaced loggers in the main phy class and prach.
* Replaced loggers in phy common and ta_control.
* Replace loggers in cc and sf workers.
* Replaced loggers in intra_measure, scell_recv, search, sfn_sync, sync.
* Remove last uses of the old loggers in the main phy class.
* Remove stray newline in logs.
* Replaced loggers in ue gw.
* - Started to replace loggers in the ue stack.
- Replaced loggers in usim and pcsc.
- Adapted nas and usim tests.
* Replace loggers in nas.
* Added missing log init calls in two previously modified tests.
* Replaced logger in nas idle procs.
* Replaced loggers in nas emm state.
* Replaced loggers in tft packet filter and adapted tft test.
* Replaced loggers in main RRC class.
* Replaced loggers in RRC cell.
* Replaced loggers in RRC meas.
* Replaced loggers in rrc procedures.
* Started logger replacement in MAC layer, more precisely in demux and dl_harq classes.
Been unable to inject loggers in construction for dl_tb_process due to very weird static assertions in the std::vector code being the type not constructible which is not true, so instead use the main MAC logger directly.
* Replaced loggers in mac mux class.
* Replaced loggers in mac pro_bsr.
* Replaced loggers in mac proc phr.
* Replaced loggers in mac proc SR and RA.
* Replace loggers in mac UL HARQ.
* Replaced loggers in main ue stack class.
* Fixed nas test crashing due to a null string.
* Ported mac_test to use the new loggers.
* Removed TTI reporting for the PHY log as the old logger did.
* Replaced loggers in UE phy tests.
* Configure loggers in nas_test.
* Replaced loggers in rrc_meas_test.
* Replaced loggers in rrc_reconfig_test.
* Added missing newline in tft_test.
* Fix compilation errors in TTCN3 tests.
* Fix linker error detected in CI and warning.
* Replaced loggers in TTCN3 tests.
* Fix a text replace error in some log messages.
* Remove trailing newlines from log entries.
* Remove old logger from rrc.
* Flush backend before printing the test status.
* - Fix compilation error from previous rebase.
- Remove trailing newlines from some missing log entries.
that patch addreses issue #2199 by defering RA-related calls that
are executed from within PHY workers.
The time-critical bits of more complex functions such as tb_decoded()
are still executed in the PHY worker thread but the state machine
manipulation is defered.
* Refactor NR resource allocation classes. Use DCI instead of grant for dummy PDSCH UE/eNB test
* Minor refactors in NR workers and ue_dl
* Fix include issues
* fix compilation issues
this potentially fixes the issue we see during HO and RLF
under high DL load.
The issue happens because buffered DL PDUs are delivered to
RLC after reestablishing RLC that confuse the receiving
RLC entity bc the sequence numbers are very high, as opposed
to begin with zero again after reestablishment.
* mac_test: add extended TBSR unit test
unit test to MAC UL packing after sending a TBSR
this fixes the MAC issues described in issue #2002
* mux: fix updating of LCG buffer state after packing PDU
we've previously lowered the buffer state of the LCG according
to the bytes that have been scheduled, but not according to
those that have been actually included in the PDU.
* proc_bsr: fix LCG buffer state updating for TBSR
when sending a TBSR do not update the internal buffer
state of the BSR proc.
This caused issues because the buffer state for all LCG that
are not included in the TBSR are set to zero, although at least
one LCG does have data to transmit.
* rlc_am: include LCID when logging retx of SN
the current implementation was somehow broken after a
NAS refactor. It was undetected because we didn't really
use it.
this fixes the simulation by using a single timer to simulate
airplane mode transitions.
the timer is rearmed in the timer_expire() function
if the correspondig event is set.
Has been tested to work well with, e.g.:
--sim.airplane_t_on_ms 5000 --sim.airplane_t_off_ms 10000
fix for #1934
This fixes a race condition between Stack thread and DL
PDU processing that lead to updates of the RLC buffer that
are undetected by the BSR routine.
What happens is that in a UL SCH PDU all outstanding data is transmitted
and and a LBSR with all zero buffers is sent.
14:39:47.327301 [MAC ] [D] [ 3793] BSR: LCID=3 old_buffer=59
14:39:47.330600 [MAC ] [I] [ 3793] UL LCID=3 len=58 LBSR: b=0 0 0 0
Note that "old_buffer" isn't set to zero here.
At the same time (same TTI), the MAC PDU processing thread handles DL-SCH PDUs
that may generate new UL PDUs:
14:39:47.330749 [RLC ] [I] DRB1 Tx SDU (54 B, tx_sdu_queue_len=1)
14:39:47.330762 [RLC ] [I] DRB1 Tx SDU (54 B, tx_sdu_queue_len=2)
14:39:47.330775 [RLC ] [I] DRB1 Tx SDU (54 B, tx_sdu_queue_len=3)
..
Those PDUs are "new data" since the previous buffer state was zero.
Here is the race now between the threads, at the end of the bsr::step() function
old_buffer of each LCG is updated with the previous new_buffer, so
the buffer state of LCG=2 is now 59.
Now MAC starts the next TTI:
14:39:47.331910 [MAC ] [D] [ 3794] Running MAC tti=3794
14:39:47.331928 [MAC ] [D] [ 3794] Update Bj: lcid=0, Bj=0
14:39:47.331934 [MAC ] [D] [ 3794] Update Bj: lcid=1, Bj=0
14:39:47.331938 [MAC ] [D] [ 3794] Update Bj: lcid=2, Bj=0
14:39:47.331941 [MAC ] [D] [ 3794] Update Bj: lcid=3, Bj=-1752
14:39:47.331951 [MAC ] [D] [ 3794] BSR: LCID=0 update new buffer=0
14:39:47.331960 [MAC ] [D] [ 3794] BSR: LCID=1 update new buffer=0
14:39:47.331964 [MAC ] [D] [ 3794] BSR: LCID=2 update new buffer=0
14:39:47.331971 [MAC ] [D] [ 3794] BSR: LCID=3 update new buffer=335
14:39:47.331976 [MAC ] [D] [ 3794] BSR: check_new_data() -> get_buffer_state_lcg(0)=0
14:39:47.331980 [MAC ] [D] [ 3794] BSR: check_new_data() -> get_buffer_state_lcg(1)=0
14:39:47.331984 [MAC ] [D] [ 3794] BSR: check_new_data() -> get_buffer_state_lcg(2)=59
14:39:47.331988 [MAC ] [D] [ 3794] BSR: check_new_data() -> get_buffer_state_lcg(3)=0
14:39:47.331993 [MAC ] [D] [ 3794] BSR: LCID=0 old_buffer=0
14:39:47.332000 [MAC ] [D] [ 3794] BSR: LCID=1 old_buffer=0
14:39:47.332003 [MAC ] [D] [ 3794] BSR: LCID=2 old_buffer=0
14:39:47.332007 [MAC ] [D] [ 3794] BSR: LCID=3 old_buffer=335
And since the buffer state of LCG=2 isn't zero, the new data for LCID=3 of that LCG is considered.
So effectivly, the BSR missed the "empty" buffer state for a fraction of time and doesn't
consider the outgoing data generated in the same TTI as new. It therefore
doesn't transmit a BSR.
in which a BSR wasn't
when releasing PUCCH/SRS (see 5.3.13 in 36.331) we need to reset the SR config as well.
In our case, SR is handled by MAC so we need to (re-)configure MAC, not all of
MAC though, just SR.
* Make PHY non-blocking and fefactor HO procedure
* makes entire PHY non-blocking through command interface
* adds dedicated queue for cell_search/cell_select commands
* refactor HO procedure to run faster, in one stack cycle. Looks closer to the specs
* force ue to always apply SIB2 configuration during reestablishment
* Run update_measurements in all workers
