when retrieving the RLC metrics, the number of TTIs since the last
call are passed. This allows to calculate the actual rate
based on the LTE timing rather than only the system timing.
we've only incremented the retx when retransmitting a full PDU,
but not when only retransmitting segments.
This might lead to many more retx than allowed.
- fix encoding of TPC command
- use of exponential average with irregular sampling for the ULSNR average estimate.
Turns out using a time-windowed average for the SNR was a bad idea.
If the UL grants are very sporadic, the SNR time window will never have samples
when a TPC is encoded
- update of TPC sched test
- other fixes in accumulators lib
- now bounded_vector::resize(N) works for move-only types
- bounded_vector assertions now print error messages
- fixed move ctor/assignment of bounded_vector
- created a unit test for bounded_vectors of move-only types
Before this PR, the eNB was not activating UL-64QAM if the UE release was below 12,
due to an erroneous convertion of the ASN1 EUTRA Capabilities struct into the flattened
srslte::ue_capabilities_t.
With this PR, the eNB activates UL-64QAM for the following cases:
- UE category 5
- UE category 8 and release >= 10
- UE category UL 8 and release >= 12
the RLC bearer name was empty after reestablishing a UM bearer.
we need to pass the RLF config and RB name to the internal configure()
call of the Rx entity, like we already do for the Tx side
when EVM measurements are enabled, instead of only logging them for
each decoded codeword, we also calculate the average.
this is useful for calibration.
hard killing of AGC thread causes issue on some RF devices,
such as the N310. The thread still seemed to access the device while
the radio was already killed (or the streamer object deleted).
It's unclear why this isn't causing similar issues on B210 or X310,
at least not visible, but it is obviously not the correct way to stop a thread.
The patch now correctly sets the stop flag for the AGC thread, wakes it
it up and waits until it has terminated.
the Lime has better performance when using the default LTE sample
rates due to filterering being done in the LMS RF chip.
Print a warning when using the Lime with the non-default LTE rates.
the bug causes the BSR to return a bsr_idx of 0, i.e. no data
pending, when the buff_size was reported to be 1 B only.
Instead, the UE should return BSR idx 1, i.e. between 0 < BSR <= 10.
when packing MAC PDUs, adding a new SDU might fail, for example
because RLC couldn't provide a new PDU. The muxer then needs
to delete the subheader from the PDU again.
When adding a padding BSR at the end, the same subheader is again
used to store the BSR, so any state in that subheader should be removed.
In the particular case, this was causing an issue when logging a LBSR
because the LCG buffer states are printed using the payload buffer,
which was still pointing to some memory that was used when trying
to add the new RLC PDU in the beginning.
LBSR packing is fine but this makes the eNB do wrong things
because it thinkgs LCG2 has no or too much data to send.
LCG2 is our default LCG for DRB1. One occasion we saw the issue
is doing full rate TCP DL which requires quite a bit of ACK traffic
back to the sender. With the BSR for LCG2 being wrong, providing
UL grants was delayed and so the TCP DL throuhgput was very low.
In the log below we see that the buff_size[2]=1 so there is data to send.
Interestingly, the packing was correct so Wireshark displays it correctly.
But the unpacking not, as can be seen in the MAC log below which reports
0 buffer state for all LCGs
22:08:54.804792 [MAC ] [I] [ 5084] pdu_get: sdu_len=1212, channel.sched_len=1213, bsr.buff_size[2]=1

* rlc_am: add TC for pollRetx timer handling
* rlc_am: fix stopping of pollRetx timer
stopping the pollRetx timer when receiving a status PDU
without checking the acknowledged PDUs is wrong.
if an ACK for another PDU, for which the polling bit has been set,
is still pending, it won't be rescheduled until another
PDU is transmitted that again starts the pollRetx timer.
this fixes the issue with missing RLC AM segment retx in #1992,
and #2003
* mac_test: add extended TBSR unit test
unit test to MAC UL packing after sending a TBSR
this fixes the MAC issues described in issue #2002
* mux: fix updating of LCG buffer state after packing PDU
we've previously lowered the buffer state of the LCG according
to the bytes that have been scheduled, but not according to
those that have been actually included in the PDU.
* proc_bsr: fix LCG buffer state updating for TBSR
when sending a TBSR do not update the internal buffer
state of the BSR proc.
This caused issues because the buffer state for all LCG that
are not included in the TBSR are set to zero, although at least
one LCG does have data to transmit.
* rlc_am: include LCID when logging retx of SN
I noticed that the app didn't configure the process with
RT thread prio. But it then turned out that in order to do
that we need to actually spawn a new thread. Also a few other things
didn't work out of the box.
In summary the changes are:
* fix duration to support more than 120s
* move main functionality in thread
* set high priority for radio thread
* only return success if no radio errors occured
this makes sure that the reconstructed RLC AM header
has the poll bit set when any of its segments had it set.
this triggered a bug in RLC AM because the Status PDU
isn't transmitted for a RLC PDU that was segmented and
only the first segment had the P flag set.

author tested with local 4 port cell. I am not able to verify locally but
it looks ok, we'll revise later if needed.
When using srsLTE with Lime devices, calibration was performed before any configuration steps have happened, thus making calibration values invalid. Removing Lime specific calibration step from rf_soapy_imp makes so that devices will be automatically calibrated by SoapyLMS on rf_soapy_start_stream call.
Tested and working with srsENB using LimeSDR-USB v1.4 and LimeSDR-Mini v1.2 boards.
when the default RF args are used, NULL is passed as argument
to the RF driver. In this case, we should use the previous
SoapySDRDevice_enumerate() and let Soapy pick the device
when releasing PUCCH/SRS (see 5.3.13 in 36.331) we need to reset the SR config as well.
In our case, SR is handled by MAC so we need to (re-)configure MAC, not all of
MAC though, just SR.
- s1 handover composite state simplified
- the eNB now starts a HO cancellation when it receives an invalid
Handover Command
- the FSM log now prints the current state when it receives an unhandled
event
This patch adds version string to the 'libsrslte_rf' library.
This results in the library being built as
libsrslte_rf.so.20.04.2
with the following symbolic links
libsrslte_rf.so.0 -> libsrslte_rf.so.20.04.2
libsrslte_rf.so -> libsrslte_rf.so.0
The SRSLTE_SOVERSION variable should be increased with each backwards
incompatible change of the library.

before epoll can handle signals, the calling thread needs to block
them. the blocking needs to happen before any other threads get
spawned so they inherit the mask.
the Tx SDU has been set to 128 PDUs because this gives approx.
150kByte UL buffer state (max value for Rel 8 BSR).
Previously, however, we've always reported too much pending UL
data because we weren't subtracting the transmitted data from
the reported data.
with this newer BSR reporting, however, even with full buffers we would
never report full buffers because the queues size is too short.
This seems to cause issues for iperf TCP sessions not resulting
in full DL rate, see isse #1703. It seems that the TCP bandwitdh
probing works better with larger buffers (in our case this can
only be achieved with more PDUs in the pool).
This should fix#1703
this patch refactors the MAC PDU class, the main changes are:
* add to_string() method to pretty print PDU and subheaders
This allows to have a single log entry per MAC PDU with all its
contents.
It removes the C-style fprint() method
* Simplity payload vs. w_payload_ce
Before we've used payload when reading the PDU and w_payload_ce
as a buffer when writing. In all getters we needed to differentiate
between both. Now payload points to w_payload_ce initially and is
only updated when parsing a new PDU.
* add various helpers, e.g. to get subheader index, update a BSR, ..
* fix PDU test to use new to_string() method
simplify logic to check whether a BSR fits and, if so, which type.
before the check has been done in two places.
we now also accomodate for the CE subheader size.
with the B210 and 2 RF ports, i.e. MIMO mode, we have stopped the
Rx stream after changing the rx_samp_rate but didn't start it again.
Either the issue doesn't exist in SISO mode or we never saw it but for MIMO
it can be reproduced easily with rate changes during streaming, i.e.:

before the BSR was extracted but the actual index (between 0 and 63)
was not stored but directly converted into bytes.
for log parsing and debugging it is easier to follow the index
value. this patch therefore adds both values to the log message
and extends the API accordingly.
commit #51c6e8d1 introduced a regression in which the 2nd antenna
port was never considered. All MIMO ZMQ based tests therefore failed.
this fixes#1608
- Documented methods and class.
- Adapted interface to the latest standard: no init list and generic container constructors, new iterator pair ctor.
- Implemented some SFINAE for managing conversions in constructors.
- Re-organised some methods to be grouped by category (modifiers, observers, iterators, ...).
- Added convenience make_span functions.
- Added some more asserts.
- Adapted test to use some syntax that was modified.
the enable_rx_timestamps() for the radio_ctrl object has only been
introduced in Nov 2019 for UHD 3.15 and therefore needs
to be excluded when compiling for 3.14 and below.
Note: According to the original UHD commit in
67dbaa41f2 (diff-60a9387c0fc8406fd5b39fa995dd8c14)
it looks like the Rx timestamps are disabled by default
for UHD versions before 3.15
This commit fixes#1602
- Import the srslog project into srslte.
- Ported srsue app to use the new logging framework.
- Implemented a wrapper that dispatches log entries to srslog.
- Renamed an existing log test to be more specific to avoid name clashes.
at the when applying the fading channel we copied the state back
to our buffer. Since we are offsetting the read buffer
by X samples, we need to make sure that we don't read after then
(len-X) samples of the temporary memory buffer
the PSS detection needs more temporary buffer than a full subframe.
we therefore need to allocate and initialize the sync object with
larger maximum size to support Scell search of large cells, e.g.
20 MHz
this fixes issue #1538
* add locked and unlocked version of has_data() since one is
called from stack and one from PHY threads
* add comments in each interface section as to why locking
is required or not
* remove RLC rwlock when not required
* move calls only used by RRC to RRC section
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
when adding a new subheader to a MAC PDU we should only add the subheader
if at least 2 bytes are left in the PDU. Even a 1 Byte MAC Control Element requires
another byte to pack the subheader.
This fixes#1424 in which a 3 B MAC opportunity is provided in the UL. After
adding the Short BSR, we tried to add another MAC subheader. Adding the subheader
succeeded even though no space is left to add a single byte. With this patch,
adding the subheader fails and the generates MAC PDU is correct.
with ZMQ RF, we've seen the radio returning -1 and traced
the issue down to the ringbuffer.
in fact, pthread_cond_timedwait() returned 22 (EINVAL) indicating
a wrong timeout value. The issue was likely an overflow
in the timespec parameter. This patch checks for the return
value of pthread_cond_timedwait() and also calculates the
nanosecond wrap around for the timespec
amarisoft flags an RF error and exits after not receiving samples
for the radio. Running with ZMQ in the RFCI, the UE sometimes needs more
time to start up due to slow processing and no fftw wisdom file and
then Amarisoft eNB times out. This gives the whole process a little
bit more time. Should we still find it too short we may increase
it further.
This lock was removed in 1cbf7eac because it was considered unneeded.
However, as can be seen in issue #1503, we need to protect the access
to rx_window, for example.
Issue #1503 shows a stack trace where a PHY worker generates a status PDU.
While holding the mutex to access rx_window, the stack thread on the
other hand, happily accesses the rx_window member without acquiring
the lock. This commit protects all handle_*() functions in write_pdu().
This reverts commit 1cbf7eac04.
instead of logging PDU received from below, and SDU that is forwarded
to above, only log the PDU in rx in info mode.
The next layer will do the same and log the PDU received (which is the SDU coming from here)
so there is now loss of information in the logs.
Here is the test output with the fix disabled:

The test checks the correct packing and of the two PDUs at the end.
during the PDU packing it could happen that a new SDU segment
was added but the resulting larger header was so big that not even
a single byte of the new PDU could be added. because this
corner case wasn't handled correctly an invalid PDU was transmitted.
the solution is to revert the addition of the new SDU.
