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.
after adding the thread-safe PCAP writer functionality to the EUTRA
MAC object it became clear that we don't wont to replicate the
same for the NR object.
This patch therefore refactors the class that now supports both EUTRA and
NR rats. The old mac_nr_pcap.[h/cc] has been deleted. All test-cases
and usages now use the new object that needs to pass the RAT type in
the ctor.

this fixes point 1-3 of #2161
this patch adds support for measuring the:
* SDU rx latency (Average time in ms from first RLC segment to full SDU)
* amount of buffered bytes (sum of payload of PDUs buffered in rx_window)
the implementation is using std::chrono
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.
- 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
* 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
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
- 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.
- 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.
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
Here is the test output with the fix disabled:

13:47:42.679974 [RLC_UM_1] [D] vt_us = 1
The test checks the correct packing and of the two PDUs at the end.
this allows to create a queue that has a non-default capacity
currently this is 8192, but the value might now be suitable in some
cases like for TTI sync events
