* Make PHY non-blocking and fefactor HO procedure
* makes entire PHY non-blocking through command interface
* adds dedicated queue for cell_search/cell_select commands
* refactor HO procedure to run faster, in one stack cycle. Looks closer to the specs
* force ue to always apply SIB2 configuration during reestablishment
* Run update_measurements in all workers

* Removed magic numbers.
* Reduced indentation of statements with early exists.
* Removed elses after a return statement.
* Trimmed unnecessary include files.
* Default initialized members in the class.
we fix a number of very related issues for HO/reestablishment
in the success/error case:
* this patch removes the hard-coded check that intra-cell HO aren't
allowed. There are cases where eNBs use this method to update
the security context.
* the patch also fixes an issue after failed HO where the security context
of the source eNB should be used for the reestablishment.
* update security keys according to specs when mobilitycontrol
indicated change of key
the filter alpha was initialized to zero by default which causes an
issue because the first measurement for a cell can't be updated,
because the filtering function will always return the current value.
According to 36.331 Sec 5.5.3.2 Note 2, a k-value of 0 should turn
off filtering, which should be used as the default value until
an update is received from the network.
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
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
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
apply same change that we've done on the eNB also on the UE
to avoid the PHY processing TTIs faster than the stack.
Without that, we see lots of those in the logs:
...
08:39:17.580325 [STCK] [W] Detected slow task processing (sync_queue_len=7).
...
before entering RRC idle, after receiving a RRC connection release for example,
we need to wait until the RLC for SRB1 or SRB2 have been flushed, i.e.
the RLC has acknowledged the reception of the message.
Previously we have only waited for SRB1 but the message can also be received on SRB2
and in this case both bearers need to be checked.
The method is now streamlined to check both SRBs and is also used when
checking the msg transmission of an detach request.
The current TTI gap calculation assumes strict continuity
of radio time stamps, even when retuning, changing sample rate, etc.
This is certainly desireble but not necessaritly the case and may cause
issues when negative time gaps or too large gaps are detected and reported
to the stack.
this patch makes the assumption that valid TTI jumps are between 1ms
and 1s and that larger gaps are the result of screwed time-stamps
or too long radio operations.
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.
