- add interface to RRC to allow NAS to query the DRB for a given
EPS bearer id
- extend interface for NAS to setup GW to also pass LCID of bearer
- in NAS, use this new interface to pass actual LCID of the default
DRB when creating the TUN device
- abstract UE object now consists of a radio, a PHY, and a stack layer
- add new stack abstraction layer that combines MAC, RLC, RRC, PDCP, NAS and GW
- PHY layer now has a single stack interface and does not talk to MAC and RRC seperatly
This entails:
* Adding S1AP paging messaging to the MME.
* Adding the Downlink Data Notification, Donlink Data Notification Acknoledgment, and Downlink Data Notification Failure Messages.
* Adding the logic at the GTP-U to detect that Downlink Data notification needs to be sent.
* Proper handling of the new GTP-C messages at the MME GTPC and SPGW GTPC classes
* Add queuing mechanisms at the GTP-U while waiting for paging response. Queue is flushed when paging fails (timeout or other).
* Make sure eNB's SCTP information is properly stored.
* Make sure UE's GUTI information is properly stored.
* Adding timer creation at NAS using timerfd_create
* Adding the ability to add and remove the timer file descriptor to the MME main select loop
* Adding the ability to the MME for the NAS to check if a timer is running
* Adding the timer expiry handling functionality at the MME
- add a simple and low-overhead has_data() method to check whether
an RLC entity has data to transmit or not
- use this method for all calls that are actually not interested
in the amount of data to send
- use the more expensive get_buffer_state() for all cases where
the actual size of the buffer is of importance
* New parallel Turbodecoder implementation in SSE/AVX 16-bit and 8-bit
* Optimised UL Interleaver
* Include TB CRC calculation in FEC encoder
* New threading priorities
