      software/ors-amarisoft: enb: Start to generalize the code to handle multiple peer cells · a9101bd9
      Kirill Smelkov authored
      As with Radio Units and cells organize a registry of peer cells and start to handle
      that registry generally everywhere. The registry is still populated with only
      LTE cells on enb and only NR cells on gnb, but the only place that is aware of
      that is registry loading routine.
      
      In the old code defaults were noticed for tac to be 1 if not provided, and so
      those defaults are pushed to live in ORS now. ORS schemas are also updated
      because that defaults were not declared there.
      
      Generic switches to use peer/cell/lte directly which means that now it accepts
      e_cell_id instead of cell_id as the name for full E-UTRAN cell identity. Full
      backward compatibility is provided for ORS which implements translation of its
      original schema to the new generic one.
      
      Tests will be added later as full tests for generic MultiRU.
      
      Rendered enb.cfg and gnb.cfg change a bit, but the changes are mostly due to
      reordering of fields. The only change with semantic value is
      
          -          ssb_nr_arfcn: ,
          +          ssb_nr_arfcn: 520090,
      
      in gnb.cfg .
      
      The old configuration was invalid anyway because if it is only
      
                    ssb_nr_arfcn: ,
      
      then enb does not start with the following error:
      
          # ../lteenb gnb.cfg
          gnb.cfg:119: unexpected token: ','
      
      Like with many other handover-related fields
      https://tech-academy.amarisoft.com/lteenb.doc#prop.ncell_list.ssb_nr_arfcn
      documents that ssb_nr_arfcn "Must be present" for Inter-gNB HO case. The old
      code was erroneously doing `ncell.get(name, '')` with yielding empty string in
      case a parameter is missing, which is corrected here.

      software/ors-amarisoft: enb/*: Deduplicate ncell_list via peer/cell · bf66de55
      Kirill Smelkov authored
      Move schema of peer cells into under peer/cell/lte and peer/cell/nr with
      keeping in mind that peer/cell will become a separate entity in MultiRU.
      
      NR deduplication is straightforward, but for LTE original ncell_list used
      `cell_id` name for full E-UTRAN cell identity. peer/cell/lte uses e_cell_id
      name for that and content of that peer/cell/lte cannot be applied directly to
      ORS's ncell_list and ncell_list in current enb/generic. To keep things working
      we pickup peer/cell/lte field by field with mapping e_cell_id into cell_id. For
      the reference for NR both original ncell_list and new peer/cell/nr use
      nr_cell_id for full 5G cell identity.
      
      Backward compatibility: nothing practically changes for ORS and generic.

      software/ors-amarisoft: enb+ue: Switch to JSON schemas as the primary source... · bd55f250
      Kirill Smelkov authored
      software/ors-amarisoft: enb+ue: Switch to JSON schemas as the primary source of defaults; stop rendering them
      
      JSON schemas for eNB/gNB and UE specify defaults for many parameters and the
      software release use those defaults when parameters are not explicitly
      specified on the instantiation.
      
      Some primary defaults - for bandwidth and n_antenna DL/UL - were setup in
      render-templates and propagated through all places to avoid duplicating them.
      
      Defaults for many other parameters were duplicated in both JSON schemas and in
      the code that handles those parameters.
      
      To avoid this duplication we either need to extend render-templates and put
      defaults for all the other many parameters there, or just switch to JSON
      schemas to be primary source of those defaults, and use the schemas on
      instantiation by automatically loading them and extracting defaults for all
      parameters from there.
      
      I decided to go the second way because it avoids additional layer of rendering
      and the need to keep on remembering not to put raw defaults in the JSON
      schemas. Evidently this is the same approach that Rapid CDN is going to take
      (see !1380 for details).
      
      In this patch we stop rendering JSON schemas and keep their last rendered
      result. In the later patches we will handle formed duplication there and go on
      to further merge enb and gnb.
      
      UE is handled brutally for now, because it will be much reworked after.
      
      Actually loading JSON schemas is left as TODO as I do not have resources to
      implement that now. Still this step is needed as precondition for further
      patches. I hope bit of duplication for enb/gnb parameters is ok, given that
      they are now centrally maintained and corresponding TODO warning is in place.

      software/ors-amarisoft: enb/generic: Tighten defaults · 95e1a3bd
      Kirill Smelkov authored
      We currently have 2 kinds of software:
      
      - ORS, whose intended usage is small private networks, and
      - generic, whose intended usage is small-to-medium networks.
      
      and currently they both share defaults for their parameters inherited from ORS.
      But what is appropriate for small private networks, might be not so appropriate
      for medium networks.
      
      For example ORS has default enb_id/gnb_id, but in a network with 100 nodes, it
      is better to force every node to be explicitly assigned an id and error
      otherwise. Similarly for cells ORS has defaults for cell_id, but in network
      with many nodes, cell_id needs to be explicitly assigned. With having a default
      there is also a chance to misspell the parameter name, and do not notice it
      because the software will instantiate without an error but work incorrectly.
      
      So in this patch we tighten the defaults for generic:
      
      - enb_id, mme_list become non-optional for LTE
      - gnb_id, afm_list become non-optional for NR
      - plmn_list becomes non-optional for both LTE and NR. The format is different
        in between RATs and so later we will use plmn_list and plmn_list_5g when
        merging enb and gnb.
      
      - the following parameters of LTE cells now needs to be explicitly configured:
        rf_mode, dl_earfcn, bandwidth, cell_id, pci, tac.
      - the following parameters of  NR cells now needs to be explicitly configured:
        rf_mode, dl_nr_arfcn, nr_band, bandwidth, cell_id, pci.
      
      We rework ORS mode to translate its own set of parameters and defaults into
      generic enb/gnb parameters.
      
      We similarly pull some global generic defaults into instance-enb.cfg.jinja2
      with the idea that they could be maintained in one central place. In the future
      it would be good to automatically load them from JSON schemas to avoid
      duplication.
      
      This patch should be backward compatible for ORS, but it introduces the change
      in cell_id and pci in rendered enb.cfg which become 1 instead of 0:

      The defaults for those parameters according to instance-enb-input-schema.json
      are 0x01 and 1. And it looks like enb.jinja2.cfg was changed to emit them starting from
      0 instead of 1 in c4d0958e due to probable thinko in that patch because before
      that patch those parameters were emitted as 0x01 and 1:
      
          nexedi/slapos@c4d0958e
      
      and, once again, the schema says their defaults should be 0x01 and 1 as well.

      software/ors-amarisoft: enb/generic: Do not expose handover measurement config publicly yet · 5b2a2eee

      We currently have support for a3_offset and a3_time_to_trigger only, while
      there is also a3_hysteresis plus at least a1_*, a2_* and probably other parameters.
      
      Simple A3-only based meas_config tuning might be appropriate for ORS, but for
      generic enb it is better to expose full control which I do not currently feel
      good to implement right now. So do not expose it at all on generic to avoid
      establishing a public API yet.
      
      enb.jinja2.cfg already has corresponding comments:

      - Indicate that it is not for ORS, but for generic case.
      - Move ue to the end, to where it logically belongs.
      - Indicate shared instances clearly with clear visually appearing indent.
        For now it is only about SIM card, but later we will be adding more kinds of
        shared instances, so it will be needed to clearly see on the UR if an item is
        a kind of service, or a shared instance of a service.

      There is now only 2 kinds of softwares - ORS and generic, and their cfg.json

      generic gaining more features and more kind of shared instances. That means
      that it no longer makes sense to render those two from a common source.

          core-network-slave  index=3
      
      which resulted in the following appearance order on SlapOS Master UI:
      
          gnb
          core-network
          core-network-slave
          enb
      
      Note that enb comes last instead of being first as originally intended.
      
      That happens because SlapOS Master treats index=0 as being unset and puts all
      items with unset index in the end.
      
      -> Fix this by starting explicitly-set indices from 1.
      
      Now, for ORS, the order on UI is
      
          enb
          gnb
          core-network
          core-network-slave

      software/ors-amarisoft: Fix json-schemas complain about missing response schemas · 147c9a79

      As explained in the previous patch now once we have software.cfg and
      software.cfg.json, json-schemas started to analyze them instead of skipping
      software/ors-amarisoft/ completely, and it started to complain about missing
      response schemas, for example:

      software/ors-amarisoft: Fix json-schemas complain about spaces in software.cfg.json · 96c4bcf4
      Kirill Smelkov authored
      Previously json-schemas tests were passing on software/ors-amarisoft but the
      status was misleading: since json-schemas check only software.cfg.json, and
      until recently - before the patch to switch RU type to be a runtime parameter,
      there was _no_ such file in here, nothing about software-*.cfg.json was checked at all.
      
      But after the switch we started to have software.cfg and software.cfg.json
      files which json schemas checks and errors start to appear.
      
      Here we fix the following error popping up due to extra blank lines around "ue" entry in software.cfg.json:
      
          FAIL: test_ors-amarisoft_software_cfg_json_format (slapos.test.test_json_schema.TestJSONSchemaValidation)

      software/ors-amarisoft: enb: Switch RU to be a runtime parameter · c4ecf5a0
      Kirill Smelkov authored
      Previously RU type was static parameter of particular software - it was
      possible to instantiate cells only with selected RU type for particular template.
      
      In MultiRU it will be possible to generally instantiate all kind of cells -
      LTE/NR and TDD/FDD all at the same time and each served by a different kind of Radio Unit.
      
      -> Switch RU to be runtime parameter as a preparatory step for that.
      
      There is now only two software releases:
      
        - ORS (software-ors.cfg), and
        - generic (software.cfg).
      
      ORS behaviour stays the same as before here by patch.
      
      For generic each cell in cell_list now needs to explicitly specify which kind
      of RU it wants to use and with which parameters. There are less defaults: for
      example which CPRI board and SFP port to use now needs to be explicitly
      specified.
      
      Only ORS tests are left for now. The old test{LOPCOMM,M2RU,ANY} did not
      exercised any driver-specific functionality and until recently were not run at
      all due to '-' in their file name. We remove them for now and we will add tests
      for generic in a soon follow-up patch after switching LTE/NR cell type to also
      be a runtime parameter.
      
      Backward compatibility:
      
        * nothing changes for ORS
        * for generic all RU-related parameters are now moved from cell_list to
          cell_list.ru, there are several renames and besides ru_type ru_link_type also
          needs to be specified. Please see new RU-related JSON schemas added into
          ru/ for details. Cell_list itself now also does not provide a default with
          one cell - if no cells are configured no cells are instantiated.

      Previously rf_mode was static parameter of particular software - it was

      -> Switch rf_mode to be runtime parameter as a preparatory step for that.
      
      Software for ORS becomes just software-ors.cfg with software-tdd-ors.cfg
      providing backward compatibility proxy as we have many ORS'es currently
      deployed with that software-release URL. For other softwares backward
      compatibility is not preserved including for software-fdd-ors.cfg because we
      practically have very few deployments with those.
      
      To show tdd_ul_dl_config only for TDD we use conditional feature of new JSON-editor.
      
      Backward compatibility: nothing changes for ORS, for everything else rf_mode
      now needs to be explicitly set in cell parameters if it is not TDD.
      
      Rendered enb.cfg and gnb.cfg stay the same.

      software/ors-amarisoft: enb: Push CPRI-related properties to be per-RU · cbe59f7c
      Kirill Smelkov authored
      Most were already so, but sdr_number and cpri_mult were not. We need to be able
      to use different SDR boards and with different CPRI speed, so make those
      parameters to be per-RU as well.
      
      Backward compatibility: no change for ORS; For CPRI-based cases sdr_number and cpri_mult become per-RU.

      software/ors-amarisoft: enb: Push Lopcomm-specific parameters to be per-RU · 206f486e
      Kirill Smelkov authored
      Like e.g. txa0cc00_center_frequency, rxa0cc00_center_frequency_earfcn, etc -
      because different units needs to use different parameters.
      
      cron_schedule is renamed to -> reset_schedule to better reflect its meaning.
      
      user-authorized-key remains to be global as this is per-eNB nor per-RU
      property, but is likely unneded in the future. Corresponding FIXME is added to
      highlight this.
      
      Backward compatibility: no change for ORS; lopcomm parameters become per-cell and need adaptation.

      software/ors-amarisoft: enb: Start to generalize the code to handle multiple Radio Units · 0a285a34
      Kirill Smelkov authored
      Add code to organize a registry of Radio Units and handle that registry generally everywhere.
      
      RU registry is still populated from cell_list and in practice there still can
      be radio units only of the same type, but besides slaplte.load_ru_and_cell
      which is aware of that, the rest of the code tries to do everything as if
      RUs of different type could be present simultaneously.
      
      Now it is not only lopcomm who can do multiCELL, but also sunwave and SDR as well.
      
      gNB also starts to gain support for cell_list, because cell_list loading is
      uniformly applied to both eNB and gNB. However, since enb.cfg is not yet
      prepared to handle multiple NR cells yet, there is an assert that in case of NR
      there is only one RU/cell present there. We will remove this limitation in a
      follow-up patch.
      
      Later we will also change the loading to load RU descriptions from shared instances
      and they won't be constrained to be Radio Units of the same type. But we need
      to prepare a lot to be able to do that.
      
      One more step forward towards MultiRU.
      
      Tests will be added later as full tests for generic MultiRU.
      
      Backward compatibility: no change for ORS and practically no breaking change for everything else.

      For LTE tdd_ul_dl_config is

          ],
      
      but default was outside of that enum. The code in enb.jinja2.cfg actually uses
      the first option from the enum as the default.
      
      -> Fix default in schema.
      
      tdd_ul_dl_config in NR seems to be already correct.

      Previously type of emulated UE was static parameter of particular software
      release - it was possible to simulate UE and attach to cells only of the RAT of
      particular template.
      
      In MultiRU it will be possible to generally emulate all kind of UEs - both LTE
      and NR all at the same time, and attach them to LTE and NR cells
      simultaneously.
      
      -> Switch type of UE to be runtime parameter as a preparatory step for that.
      
      URLs of software releases changes (we remove lte and nr in names), but here we
      do not care about backward compatibility because currently there are just a few
      UEsim deployments and migration should be easy.

      software/ors-amarisoft: enb+ue: Query slapparameter_dict from master only once · 2149bc2d
      Kirill Smelkov authored
      We are currently querying it in instance.cfg and later, once again, in e.g. instance-enb.jinja2.cfg .
      
      However ORS mode will need to adjust slapparameter_dict with ORS defaults
      and pass it further to generic enb. So it won't work if we use
      slapparameter_dict obtained the second time because the second query will
      return unadjusted original slapparameter_dict.
      
      In this patch we are only doing preparatory step - redo the code not query the
      master from instance-{enb,ue}.jinja2.cfg and work with slapparameter_dict and
      slap_configuration already queried by instance.cfg
      
      For UE the change is trivial.
      
      For eNB instance-enb.jinja2.cfg used to set the defaults for com, mme, amf and
      gtp in the same section used for the second query. We rework those defaults to
      be applied to slapparameter_dict via jinja2 - via the same way we are going to
      later use in ORS mode.
      
      Handling defaults for everything besides gtp_addr is straightforward. For
      gtp_addr it has the semantic difference when explicitly given, and given only
      implicitly. In the latter case the intent of original code is to autodetect
      whether to use an address on loopback, or externally-visible address.
      
      Original code used the check for emptiness of mme_list/amf_list as the
      condition for "use loopback". Since now those lists, after applying their
      defaults, are never empty we rework the code to see if core address is on the
      loopback or not, and use auto-GTP-on-loopback only if core is also on loopback.
      This should, hopefully, be more convenient as it also works ok out of the box
      if core is on loopback, but its address was explicitly specified. Previously
      for such cases gtp_addr was also needed to be specified, and now it should work
      without that.
      
      No change to rendered enb.cfg and gnb.cfg besides whitespace.
      
      Adjust ipv6-random usage in core-network for consistency with enb as well.
