general-purpose method for lower layers to signal protocol
failures to higher layers, i.e. RRC.
In the current case, implement a direct release of the UE (enb) or
a reestablishment (UE).
This is achieved via:
- keep restarting the inactivity timer whenever a ReestablishmentRequest is received
- in case the RRC ReestablishmentComplete is very late and the old rnti was removed anyway,
abort RRC reestablishment procedure and release new rnti
this patch splits the counter and timer handling for PHY DL, PHY UL,
and RLC errors and makes sure that, for example, a successful DL
does not cancel the UL RLF timer, and vice versa.
They all use the same timeout value which is user-configurable.
Main changes:
- addition of pool utilities
- The node size/alignment and batch allocation threshold are now runtime arguments
- object pool and memory pool are not anymore based on the same class.
The object pool cannot use intrusive free list because it would overwrite the object
memory
- Implement a common event "log_rrc" for all RRC events and discriminate by procedure using an enum.
- Log events for connection, reestablishment, reconfig, reject and release.
- Log the corresponding ASN1 message used by each procedure.
- Redefine the JSON object for this event to match the new structure.
Fixed a compilation error detected by the static analyzer in gcc9.3 where bounded_vector::data() was using taking the address of the internal buffer which confused it, prefer to use the data method of std::array.
this fixes the eNB behaviour when RLC signals maxRetx reached.
By directly releasing the UE, we ignore the fact that the UE
could still have the reestablishment counters running, so
could attempt a reestablishment, which would result in a reject
because we would have destroyed the UE context too early.
this patch delays the removal of the UE to wait at least
until the reestablishment timers are expired.
This commit addresses the following points
- If a NAS-PDU IE is contained in the E-RAB RELEASE COMMAND message, the eNB shall pass it to the UE.
- Issue RRCConnectionReconfiguration for the DRB to be removed
- Cleaning of DRB in RLC and GTP-U
- Fix for Malformed E-RAB Setup Response upon reaching max. DRBs
