the race was in the prach_nr that stored the temp crnti without proper protection.
the fix moves the logic to store the value to the MAC that uses the thread-safe
RNTI object for this.
this commit adds a complete DL HARQ entity to the MAC of the UE.
It also refactors demux into an own class and adapts the PHY-MAC
interface to use the new MAC capabilities.
this patch adds a basic UL HARQ entity for NR.
The patch also updates some interfaces between MAC/RA/HARQ,
i.e. get_temp_crnti().
It also adds a Msg3 unit test.
building on the previous refactor this patch now adds support
for peridoic BSR reporting (using short BSR). It furthermore does
the following changes:
* add BSR packing
* add proc_bsr_nr unit test
* move mac_nr test code into test folder under src (needs to be done with other test code too)
* refactor some common methods to mac_common.cc
* add common mux_base class
* move UL PDU generation to mux class
* add logical channel registration to MAC, MUX, BSR
* add initial proc BSR
* add basic MAC NR test
* rework MAC interfaces
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
