the EPS bearer manager was only informed when a single DRB
was removed but not when entering idle which requires to
remove all bearers.
This cause the service request to fail.
this is a rather large commit that is hard to split because
it touches quite a few components.
It's a preparation patch for adding NR split bearers in the next
step.
We realized that managing RLC and PDCP bearers for both NR and LTE
in the same entity doesn't work. This is because we use the LCID
as a key for all accesses. With NR dual connectivity however we
can have the same LCID active at the same time for both LTE and NR
carriers.
The patch solves that by creating a dedicated NR instance for RLC/PDCP
in the stack. But then the question arises for UL traffic on, e.g. LCID 4
what PDCP instance the GW should use for pushing SDUs. It doesnt' know
that. And in fact it doesn't need to. It just needs to know EPS
bearer IDs. So the next change was to remove the knowledge of what
LCIDs are from the GW. Make is agnostic and only work on EPS bearer IDs.
The handling and mapping between EPS bearer IDs and LCIDs for LTE
or NR (mainly PDCP for pushing data) is done in the Stack because
it has access to both.
The NAS also has a EPS bearer map but only knows about default and
dedicated bearers. It doesn't know on which logical channels they
are transmitted.
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.
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
* 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.
* 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

this patch refactors the SDU queuing and dropping policy of the RLC and PDCP layer.
the previous design had issues when packets have been generated at a higher
rate above the PDCP than they could be consumed below the RLC.
When the RLC SDU queues were full, we allowed two policies, one to block on the write
and the other to drop the SDU. Both options are not ideal because they either
lead to a blocking stack thread or to lost PDCP PDUs.
To avoid this, this patch makes the following changes:
* PDCP monitors RLC's SDU queue and drops packets on its north-bound SAP if queues are full
* a new method sdu_queue_is_full() has been added to the RLC interface for PDCP
* remove blocking write from pdcp and rlc write_sdu() interface
* all writes into queues need to be non-blocking
* if Tx queues are overflowing, SDUs are dropped above PDCP, not RLC
* log warning if RLC still needs to drop SDUs
* this case should be avoided with the monitoring mechanism
- move handling to NAS
- use switch off to enable airplane mode (don't wait for EPC response)
- add tiny FSM to control airplane mode activation/deactivation
- only start on/off counter after state has been entered
