this rather large patch changes the way cells are handled in the SS.
It moves RLC and PDCP entities to the cell map of the SS, such that each cell
has its own entities. This allows to support HO operation, for example,
in which two cells need to send SRB messages.
It also extends most of the syssim interface to include the cell name
in all commands so they can be applied on the specified cell only.
stopping the UE in ZMQ mode caused a dead-lock because the Stack was
stopped before the PHY causing the sync queue to overflow. Since we
use a queue-length of 1 in ZMQ, mode, the PHY sync thread was blocking to
push a new sync event while the stack thread was already stopped.
this patch makes sure no new sync events are queued after the stack has
been terminated.
this patch fixes the UL BSR as per TS 36.321, it includes following
main changes:
* report UL buffer state to reflect the UEs transmit buffer after
the MAC UL PDU containing the BSR has been built.
In other words, if the UE, for example, can transmit all outstanding
data in an UL grant, it will not report any pending data to transmit.
* refactor MUX routines and subheader space calculation
* split existing BSR test into dedicated test for short, long, and trunc
BSR tests
* update MAC tests that include packing UL BSR.
(After checking TS 36.321 again it seems we have reported old UL buffer states)
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.
we've not checked the return value when adding a new CE, like BSR or PHR,
for a UL MAC PDU. For very small UL grants, this could fail and
we need to remove the subheader again before packing the PDU.
This fixes issue #1649.
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.
all calls that manipulate the RLC and/or PDCP arrays suffer
from a high deadlock risk if a PHY worker holds the RLC
AM Rx mutex at the same time when the stack wants to carry
out this reconfiguration.
this applies to RRC Reconfigs, but potentially also to RRC Connection
Reestablishment or even RRC Connection Setup, although this should
seldom be the case.
By breaking the call stack between RLC->PDCP->RRC->RCL and
carrying out the reconfig as a single task without holding the
RLC readlock the deadlock should not happen anymore.
This should fix issue #1593
- 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.
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
as 3400 or 2.685 GHz is on the edge of band 7, some phones won't connect
to a 20 MHz cell on this EARFCN.
In order to simplify testing with other bandwidths we change the default EARFCN.
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
reducing the sync queue len to 1 caused an issue when the
PHY was locking the mutex while trying to push a TTI event
on the stack.
instead of signaling the new TTI within the PHY, we now do it outside
in the DUT (after releasing the PHY mutex)
