undeliverd_sdus_queue. Added a queue to store information about
rx_counts received.
Added unit test for when the SNs wrap-around in status report genaration
this patch replaces the std::vector type used in the interface between
PDCP and RLC to signal delivery status between both layers. The new
data type is a configurable but fixed-size vector.
The RLC AM doesn't need to dynamically allocate the vector for every SN but
uses the tx_window for storage.
* Added interfaces for the RLC to notify the PDCP of failure to transmit
SDU
* Limit discard timer to 1500ms, to avoid issues of lingering SDUs in the undeliverd_sdus_queue.
* Fix bug in early exit of notify_delivery and notify_failure
* fix compilation issue in rlc-pdcp notification

Removing unecessary \n for logs and changed log of PDCP info queue
capacity to debug to avoid log spam.
Changed log level for unhandled S1AP messages from error to warning
in EPC to avoid failing tests because of error message.
Changed usage of allocate_unique_buffer to make_unique_buffer()
This includes:
- Adding a queue (implemented with std::map) for undelivered PDUs.
This queue uses the SN used for TX as the key.
- Added discard timer that is started upon reception of the SDU. Upon
expiry of the timeout a discard callback removes undelivered PDUs
from the queue.
- Added the mechanisms to the notify_delivery to remove PDUs from the
undelivered queue when the PDU is ACK'ed.
- Added test case for both timer expiry and acknowledgment.
- Fix up the getter for buffered SDUs to return the undelivered SDUs
- Changed default PDCP discard timer, so AM has a discard timer by
default.
PDCP PDUs. This includes:
- Modifying the byte_buffer_t to include PDCP SN meta-data. This way,
the RLC can keep track of the ack'ed bytes for a specific PDCP PDU.
- Added in the RLC an `undelivered_sdu_info queue`, to keep track of the
amount of ack'ed bytes and the total size of the PDCP PDU,
so the RLC can know when delivery is finished.
- Added an interface between the PDCP and the RLC so that the RLC can
notify the PDCP when it receives an ack from the status PDUs. The RLC
passes to the PDCP a vector of all the ack'ed pdus in a rx'ed status PDU.
- Added some tests to the notify functionality. This includes some tests
where the PDUs are acked imediatly, and one test where the PDU is
retx'ed.
- multiple tunnels per E-RAB
- data forwarding between connected GTPU tunnels
- forwarding GTPU End Marker between connected tunnels
- TeNB GTPU handles in-sequence delivery when multiple tunnels for the same ERAB exist.
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
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.
