srsENB currently creates 1 zmq stream (1 tx, 1 rx) for each cell (2 if
MIMO is enabled). Each cell transceives on a given EARFCN (and several
cells can transmit on same EARFCN).
However, for handover test purposes, we want to join all cells operating
on the same EARFCN to transceive on the same ZMQ conn, so that an srsUE
can interact with them at the same time (same as if the medium was shared).
Furthermore, we want to set different gains on each of those paths
before merging them in order to emulate RF conditions like handover.
In order to do so, a new element called the Broker is introduced, which
is placed in between ENBs and UEs ZMQ conenctions, multiplexing the
connections on the ENB side towards the UE side.
A separate process for the broker is run remotely (ENB run host) which
listens on a ctrl socket for commands. An internal Broker class is used
in osmo-gsm-tester to interact with the remote script, for instance to
configure the ports, start and stop the remote process, send commands to
it, etc.
On each ENB, when the rfemu "gnuradio_zmq" rfemu implementation is selected
in configuration, it will configure its zmq connections and the UE ones to
go over the Broker.
As a result, that means the UE zmq port configuration is expected to be
different than when no broker is in used, since there's the multiplexing
per EARFCN in between.
In this commit, only 1 ENB is supported, but multi-enb support is
planned in the future.
The handover test passes in the docker setup with this config:
"""
OSMO_GSM_TESTER_OPTS="-T -l dbg -s 4g:srsue-rftype@zmq+srsenb-rftype@zmq+" \
"mod-enb-nprb@6+mod-enb-ncells@2+mod-enb-cells-2ca+suite-4g@10,2+" \
"mod-enb-meas-enable -t =handover.py"
"""
and in resources.conf (or scenario), added:
"""
enb:
...
cell_list:
- dl_rfemu:
type: gnuradio_zmq
- dl_rfemu:
type: gnuradio_zmq
"""
Note that since the broker is used, there's not need for mod-srsue-ncarriers@2
since the broker is joining the 2 enb cells into 1 stream on the UE side.

this avoids a false negative detection when the UE attach takes a bit
longer and the first seconds all zeros are reported in the CSV
the HO test, for example, would fail in such a case as it expects
no zero TP over the course of the experiment.

this method uses the kpi_analyzer module for analyzing
stdout, CSV metrics and the logfile (if present).
if the module can't be loaded, no KPI will be added.

New patchelf 0.11 release is out and it has fixes hitting us in both 0.9
and 0.10 on different binaries. So let's simply requiring having
patchelf 0.11 in all cases and be done with it (actually, if not running
4G binaries, using 0.9 is enough).

every call to verify_metrics would copy back metrics again. see log here:

this patch only copies back metrics only once. also make sure that, similar
to logs, metrics are always copied back at the end of the run even if they
are not used for metrics checking. this is needed to run the plotting
script.

Use tailored sample rate only use for 6, 50 and 75 PRB. For all other bandwidths,
we use the full LTE rate and downsample.
With 5.76e6 as base sample rate, for example, we had some issue during the tests like:
[zmq] Error: tx time is 0.178 ms in the past (7833600 < 7835648)
[zmq] Error: tx time is 0.011 ms in the past (7835520 < 7835648)
Using a higher sample rate seems to work better.

when calculating the dl and ul bitrate, it is required to take the
sum of all active component carriers since they are reported seperately
inside the CSV file

we've only waited when running with ZMQ but in fact we need
to always wait because the UE may need some time to
gracefully exit, i.e. send the detach request and shut down correctly.
this is checked in cleanup() and verity_metrics(), so also before copying back
the CSV metrics. But we only wait once.

this allows to sum dl_brate and ul_brate and perform
the known operations, like max, average, etc. on both
UL and DL bitrate combined

.. one could calculate the average of DL and UL bit rate with:
ue.verify_metric(1e6, operation='avg', metric='dl_brate+ul_brate', criterion='gt', window=test_duration)
and veriy that it's average is greater than 1 Mbit/s

this allows to calculate the rolling average over a specific

This test currently only works with AmarisoftENB and srsUE, because:
* srsENB has no handover support yet
* AmarisoftUE doesn't provide any known way to verify handovers.
As a result, it usually runs with following filters and modifiers:
amarisoftenb-rftype@uhd+srsue-rftype@uhd+mod-enb-ncells@2+mod-enb-meas-enable
The get_counter() API may change in the future based on information
available from other implementations.

This way we benefit from:
* knowing which attributes are used/required by each object class and
subclass
* Having validation function definitions near the class going to use them

similar to the eNB patches this fixes the CA and MIMO radio
parameters. In pricinple this could also be reused for the
AmarisoftUE but since we currently don't have a means to test
it I left it for a future commit.
