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
* Added the appropriate code for handling and sending the
re-establishment procedure messages to rrc_ue.c/.h.
* Triggered RRC reconfiguration after the reception of RRC
re-establishment complete
* Refreshed K_eNB at the reception of re-establishment
request
* Changed the mapping of TEIDs to RNTIs in the GTP-U layer,
as the RNTI might change with reestablishment.
if no cell/PLMN can be found if the UE is switched on, the UE was never
trying again.
In theory this would be handled by T3410, but the timer
is not started in case the PLMN search isn't done yet.
extend GW-NAS interface to signal test mode activation.
The method is a noop in the normal GW but is implemented in
the TTCN3 DUT according to TS 36.509 for Mode B
This commit implements support for the CLOSE_UE_TEST_LOOP message.
Currently the mode is not saved and looping the data is not implemented.
Only the *_COMPLETE message is sent back as a response.
First of all, with this the NAS conformance tests pass with ciphering and
integrity turned on. Before only integrity was working.
Mainly the NAS was applying the integrity protection and/or ciphering
incorrectly because it wasn't taking the secuirty status of the PDUs
into account. Some where already correct, some not. The patch
streamlines the handling for all outgoing messages.
previously the NAS would cancel a attach request procedure if the PLMN
is already selected. PLMN selection, however, in not necessarily happening
before requesting RRC to establish a connection.
this is to better differentiate from "send_attach_request" that
only packs and send the actual attach request message. The
entire attach procedure may include PLMN search, etc.
t3402, t3410 and t3411 are now managed in the sender
function of the attach request. previosly they were only
correctly started in the high-level NAS call start_attach_request()
which may not be called if NAS itself resends the request
- move handling to NAS
- use switch off to enable airplane mode (don't wait for EPC response)
- add tiny FSM to control airplane mode activation/deactivation
- only start on/off counter after state has been entered
* Clang-formated UE, eNB and lib.
* Fixed compiling errors from clang-format.
* Fix linking issues introduced by clang-format
* Fix poor formating in initializing arrays of arrays.
* Fix mistake in conflict resolution on rm_turbo.c
* Re-apply clang format to gtpc_ies.h
move non-type-specific methods of proc_t to its base class.
procedure state machine was simplified via a future-type. Now procedures dont get stuck until the user reads the procedure outcome.
made the NAS procedures more event trigger/reaction-based.
this allows a simpler main that just signals NAS to switch on the UE
but doesn't block until the action is completed.
For making sure the UE also attached if the first attempt failed
the NAS needs to be extended to support the correct timers.
the main issue was the plmn_selected variable. the solution
was to create a function to enter the deregistered state that resets the variable
and performs all other actions that need to be performed, like clearing
EPS bearers.
The patch also extends the SS to support AT commands to enable/disable
data services and now succesfully passes TC_9_2_2_1_7
using the local rx count has caused issues when our UE
missed one NAS message was therefore out-of-sync and then
dropped all following NAS messages due to integrity failure
the NAS spec clearly states that the UE should use the
count received as an input for the integrity check calculation
when going RRC idle, NAS gets informed and currently
clears all registered EPS bearers. This is wrong because
the EPS can outlive a RRC session.
Also in the conformance tests it's clearly seen
that after a RRC release a dedicatated EPS bearer is
created with a linked EPS bearer ID that has been
created _before_ RRC went idle.
this fixes the issue when the stack is torn down if, for example,
the radio couldn't be loaded correctly. it will hence call stop() on all stack
components which are not initialzized yet, and logging therefore doesn't work.
the log object is know during contruction time and therefore can be passed
in as soon as possible.
- add interface to RRC to allow NAS to query the DRB for a given
EPS bearer id
- extend interface for NAS to setup GW to also pass LCID of bearer
- in NAS, use this new interface to pass actual LCID of the default
DRB when creating the TUN device
this will also extend all classes that use srslte::thread
to specify the name of the thread in the ctor as well
as to set the name of the worker threads in the thread pool
the thread name will be displayed in gdb.
- abstract UE object now consists of a radio, a PHY, and a stack layer
- add new stack abstraction layer that combines MAC, RLC, RRC, PDCP, NAS and GW
- PHY layer now has a single stack interface and does not talk to MAC and RRC seperatly
