this patch fixes a bug discovered in a real network where the DL CQI of a
user degraded repidly in very short time. A relativly big RLC PDU that
was still sent with the good CQI in a big grant now needs to be split
across many tiny segments because the CQI degraded so much.
The retx couting for each transmitted segment caused the retx counter to
reach maxRetx quickly.
With this patch we do not increment the retx counter for each transmitted
PDU or segment of a PDU but instead only increment the counter when
a given SN is added to the retx queue. This can happen either:
a) if the SN is negativly acknowledged and was not already on the retx queue,
b) no new data is available for tx and a SN is selected for retx.
This is in accordance with TS 36.322 which handles retx counting in section
5.2.1 according to the above description.
With soapy 0.8.0, GCC 11.1.0 warns of mismatched array bounds
in some functions.
This commit aligns the bound and adds proper wrappers to
fix subsequent warnings.
test now can write the NR reconfig into a PCAP for easy
debugging with Wireshark
patch also adds a new test helper to write a RRC PDU
into a PCAP file (helper packs PDCP and RLC AM first)
the code hasn't been maintained for a while an likely needs to be
adapted for a real-world scenarios.
in order to avoid having to maintain two MAC/PHY interfaces we
remove the code from now.

the do_status is queried from the Tx code frequently. To reduce
chances to delay the execution because the RLC Rx side is currently
holding the mutex we can use an atomic.
the patch uses try-lock whenever a status PDU is tried
to be built. This makes sure that when the lock is currently
hold (e.g. by a thread processing rx PDUs) the generation
of the status PDUs is not taking too long and blocking the calling
thread. Instead the status PDU generation is deferred to the next
Tx opportunity.
It's a probabilistic approach that assumes that at some stage the
lock can in fact be acquired.
TSAN detected wrong use of the old deque-based internal queue. To avoid
unwanted/undetected mis-use the patch uses the thread-safe block_queue
data structure instead.
on highly loaded systems it can happen that the get_metrics() is called
twice within a few houndred milliseconds. Logging a warning in this
case isn't needed, so reduce to info.
on the other hand, 100ms might be to convervative. Patch also
lowers the smallest interval to 10ms

Introduce a new macro to catch UHD exceptions and log them directly instead of storing an error string, similar to what errno does.
Remove usrp logging helpers that depend on the now removed member since all calls potentially log the error directly.
the EPS bearer manager was only informed when a single DRB
was removed but not when entering idle which requires to
remove all bearers.
This cause the service request to fail.
RFCI has detected this assert failing in the log_backend_test. I have not been able to reproduce this locally but my theory is the following one:
one of the unit tests does the following:
backend.start();
backend.stop();
the internal running_flag member could be set to true and then to false by the main thread before the worker thread calls do_work(). If this happens
the assert will be triggered, which is wrong and too conservative, so remove the assert.
this is a rather large commit that is hard to split because
it touches quite a few components.
It's a preparation patch for adding NR split bearers in the next
step.
We realized that managing RLC and PDCP bearers for both NR and LTE
in the same entity doesn't work. This is because we use the LCID
as a key for all accesses. With NR dual connectivity however we
can have the same LCID active at the same time for both LTE and NR
carriers.
The patch solves that by creating a dedicated NR instance for RLC/PDCP
in the stack. But then the question arises for UL traffic on, e.g. LCID 4
what PDCP instance the GW should use for pushing SDUs. It doesnt' know
that. And in fact it doesn't need to. It just needs to know EPS
bearer IDs. So the next change was to remove the knowledge of what
LCIDs are from the GW. Make is agnostic and only work on EPS bearer IDs.
The handling and mapping between EPS bearer IDs and LCIDs for LTE
or NR (mainly PDCP for pushing data) is done in the Stack because
it has access to both.
The NAS also has a EPS bearer map but only knows about default and
dedicated bearers. It doesn't know on which logical channels they
are transmitted.
this patch mainly modernizes the bearer creation to use smart pointers.
that allows to simplify the error handling.
ue_stack is changed to match new interface. This commit compiles
but doesn't work.
when a lost PDU is detected a warning will be logged. In theory
this could be info as well but a warning may help to detect issues
in tests. The same event causes multiple other warnings to be logged,
which is very spammy. The patch reduces the log level for
those messages to info.
the patch is a re-implementation of the customer-specific optimization
we did in order to reduce the time the RLC holds the Tx mutex when
processing an incoming status PDU.
The patch makes sure to never operate on a raw mutex but instead
uses the deadlock-avoiding RAII lock.
before processing incoming status PDUs we should be checking
if the ACK_SN falls within our current Tx window. If not the PDU
will be dropped.
Without the check we were incorrectly processing the status PDU
and because the sequence number wrap around wasn't working
correctly if ACK_SN is smaller than vt_a we were corrupting
our Tx window.
the test verifies that the ACK_SN of a status PDU falls inside the
rx_window of the receiver. If not, than the RLC state has been
corrupted and the status PDU is likely invalid.
