wall-clock time.
## Troubleshoot
When operating using the FAPI split, the PNF needs to give the VNF extra time
to schedule the next slot. Especially since the current nFAPI split still
relies on slot indications, extra time due to transport delays need to be
accounted for. Currently, this delay is set conservatively, meaning that it
should work for most systems, but can create problems during random access:
[NR_MAC] exceeded RA window: preamble at 411.19 now 413.0 (diff 21), ra_ResponseWindow 5/20 slots
[NR_MAC] sfn: 413.0 UE RA-RNTI 010b TC-RNTI 5d82: exceeded RA window, cannot schedule Msg2
means that the VNF received a preamble (411.19), but the current slot to be
scheduled (413.0) is beyond the random access response window (20 slots). In
this case, try one of the following:
-
If the radio allows, reduce the L1 TX advance
`RUs.[0].sl_ahead`
by some
slots, but note that this could make the system less stable.
-
Change the code to reduce
`sl_ahead`
inside function
`handle_nr_slot_ind()`
,
to reduce the FAPI scheduling slot time budget.
-
Non-standard: You can manually increase the response window by setting
`gNBs.[0].servingCellConfigCommon.[0].ra_ResponseWindow`
to, e.g., 6. Note
that the maximum allowed response window is 10ms.
