previously PDCP security (integrity and ciphering) could only
be enabled for both Rx and Tx at the same time.
this, however, caused an issue during the conformance testing in which,
in TC_8_2_1_1() for example, the eNB sends a SecModeCommand and a
RRC Reconfiguration in the same MAC TB. In this case, the eNB
needs to be able to enable DL security right after sending the SecModeCmd
in order to send the RRCReconfig encrypted. However, enabling UL security needs
to be postponed until after the SecModeComplete is received.
This patch allows to enable PDCP security for rx/tx independently if
that is needed. The default way is like before, enabling it for tx/rx at
the same time.
this fixes an issue where commands are received out of
order and we are therefore applying configs incorrectly. if
commands include a timinginfo we are now putting the command
on a queue that the SS reads after the start of a new TTI.
the security and cell reconfig commands will be added in another
PR after the AS_security command has been fixed.
this fixes an issue in the step() function of the connection_request_proc
in which the dedicated_info_nas message was passed to RRC without
checking if its actually valid or not, i.e. contains a message at all.
because this check was missing and the step() function could be called
multiple-times, the function would overwrite the dedicated_info_nas
in RRC, and therefore causing the connection setup complete to fail
this fixes a bug in which the contention resolution timer expired
and the RA proc entered the BACKOFF state.
In the same TTI, a MAC PDU with the contention reslution ID is received
and the already aborted RA procedure succeeds. Unfortunatly with the
wront c-rnti which has already been reset before. See log excerpt
