Introduce SRS physical simulator and improvements This MR consists of two parts: - Introduces SRS physical simulator to test different configurations of SRS - Improvements in the SRS channel estimation (Addressing the comments from old, unfinished MR !2875) - rewrite nr_srs_channel_estimation() to loop over rx antennas and antenna ports to be able to parallelize - Improvements in timing_advance_offset and timing_advance_offset_nsec computation - Introduce SRS multi-symbol channel estimation - The channel impulse response is estimated from the averaged channel frequency response over multiple symbols - The channel frequency estimates are left as they are to be able to estimate doppler in the future - Simplify SRS channel estimation to handle memory alignment in the case of different SRS configurations (eg: comboffset) To use multiple symbols when running gNB, the following parameters needs to be edited in the function get_srs_resource() - srs_res->resourceMapping.startPosition with a range from {0,1,..,5} corresponds to the start symbol {13, 12, .. 8} with in a slot - srs_res->resourceMapping.nrofSymbols indicates the number of symbols {n1, n2, and n4} Make sure the that start symbol + number of symbols is < 14 The timing results for SRS in develop and srs_phy_simulator are as follows: Command used: sudo ./nr_ulsim -n1000 -s50 -S50 -R273 -W2 -y2 -z2 -E 1 -P develop |__ RX SRS time 124.94 us (1000 trials) (124.94 total [ms]) |__ Generate SRS sequence time 0.05 us (1000 trials) ( 0.05 total [ms]) |__ Get SRS signal time 19.41 us (1000 trials) ( 19.41 total [ms]) |__ SRS channel estimation time 89.11 us (1000 trials) ( 89.11 total [ms]) |__ SRS timing advance estimation time 13.10 us (1000 trials) ( 13.10 total [ms]) |__ SRS report TLV build time 2.80 us (1000 trials) ( 2.80 total [ms]) |__ SRS beam report build time 0.00 us ( 0 trials) |__ SRS IQ matrix build time 2.73 us (1000 trials) srs_phy_simulator |__ RX SRS time 211.93 us (1000 trials) (211.93 total [ms]) |__ Generate SRS sequence time 0.04 us (1000 trials) ( 0.04 total [ms]) |__ Get SRS signal time 19.55 us (1000 trials) ( 19.55 total [ms]) |__ SRS channel estimation time 152.05 us (1000 trials) (152.05 total [ms]) |__ SRS timing advance estimation time 36.67 us (1000 trials) ( 36.67 total [ms]) |__ SRS report TLV build time 2.96 us (1000 trials) ( 2.96 total [ms]) |__ SRS beam report build time 0.00 us ( 0 trials) |__ SRS IQ matrix build time 2.88 us (1000 trials) Note that in srs_phy_simulator, to compute timing offset ns, an oversampling factor of 2 is performed. Also, for peak detection, we average the channel estimates for every port.93b3a5ae
