this is an extension to the currently available security
configuration and activation methods provided by PDCP.
The new call allows to specify a Rx and Tx SN after which the
entire security config, i.e. integrity and ciphering, should
be enabled.
this is mainly required for the PDCP entity of the conformance
testing SS but could potentially also be used by the eNB
to enable security for PDCP after sending the SecModeCommand
for example.
the extra call was added to not break the existing API.
previously PDCP security (integrity and ciphering) could only
be enabled for both Rx and Tx at the same time.
this, however, caused an issue during the conformance testing in which,
in TC_8_2_1_1() for example, the eNB sends a SecModeCommand and a
RRC Reconfiguration in the same MAC TB. In this case, the eNB
needs to be able to enable DL security right after sending the SecModeCmd
in order to send the RRCReconfig encrypted. However, enabling UL security needs
to be postponed until after the SecModeComplete is received.
This patch allows to enable PDCP security for rx/tx independently if
that is needed. The default way is like before, enabling it for tx/rx at
the same time.
there were two defaults and one was shadowing the other. This
commit removes both defaults and uses blocking-mode for RRC
calls to PDCP in the UE. The eNB write_sdu() uses the non-blocking
mode by default. We have to review the eNB's RRC perhaps and use blocking
there too and non-blocking only for data plane
this fixes the issue when the stack is torn down if, for example,
the radio couldn't be loaded correctly. it will hence call stop() on all stack
components which are not initialzized yet, and logging therefore doesn't work.
the log object is know during contruction time and therefore can be passed
in as soon as possible.
This is a larger patch that reworks the LCID handling throughout the
code.
- It first moves the RB/LCID mapping out of common.h into the RRC object
because different RATs may have different mappings.
- It adds a interface to RRC that other objects like RLC/PDCP/etc. may
use to get the bearer name of a specific LCID.
- The patch also introduces a PDCP config class.
