- adding a new test case
    - the test case simulate a DL radio channel with noise and runs Iperf test with such channel conditions
    - use CustomCommand class to send commands to a Telnet server
    - switched from netcat’s unsupported -N option (OpenBSD) to --send-only (Ncat 7.94) for compatibility with CI

re-sync CI test in F1 RFSIM

- to be used in the future, for CI of RRCReestablishment in RFSIM
- adding four new test cases (040021, 040022, 040023, 040023) to the RFSIM F1 configuration
- the test cases simulate a disruption of the radio channel, verify UE sync loss and resync
  and restore the original channel conditions
- use CustomCommand class to send commands to a Telnet server

temp xml

- enhanced CustomCommand logging
- print ParseError

- created new telnet library ciUE
- using X-macro defined NR_UE_L2_STATE string array to get UE sync state
- add telnet CI to nrUE container

- this change simplifies the enum definition and makes it easier
  to add, remove, or modify states in the future
- the states are now defined in the NR_UE_L2_STATES macro,
  and the enum members are generated automatically from this macro

Add AWGN channel with some noise and additional path loss.

The next commit adds channel emulation in RFsim, so we have to reduce
the iperf, as the machine might not be fast enough.

Simplification of the code by replacing iperf_opt by target_bitrate (returned from Iperf_ComputeModifiedBW) - no need to repeat the steps to retrieve information about requested bitrate from iperf_opt. Compute iperf bitrate performance as receiver bitrate over requested (target) bitrate.
Fix an issue with misdetection of missing report line - "result" was defined 2x in the function. With this MR, result can be only None or stores output of re.search() for matching the report line pattern, which ensure proper detection of the report line as well as presence off all required components in the report line.

Sender bitrate is not always equal to the requested bitrate (set by "-b" iperf option) in iperf3 (v3.9) UDP tests, so we have to compture bitrate performance of UDP iperf3 test as receiver over requested bitrate. Bitrate performance then express percentage of requested bitrate, which is received on the receiver side.

For iperf3 (version 3.9) UDP, sender bitrate is not always equal to requested bitrate (defined by '-b' option). We need to retrieve information about the requsted bitrate from iperf command line options specified for each UDP testcase. This parameter is then used in UDP analysis functions for proper evaluation of the test results.

Prior to this commit, it might happen that the gNB used TDA 0 (Start 0
len 13) for mixed slot, in which case the UE could not send msg3
(because a mixed slot has less than 13 symbols).

fixes the overflow issue in the PUCCH2 RX with 4+ RX antennas and 12+
bits (polar code format). The fix scales the polar decoding LLR
computation according to the number of RX antennas. The issue was clear
for 100 MHz 4 RX antennas. Even

  nr_pucchsim -s -5 -q 8 -P 2 -b 12 -R 273 -z4 -n1000

doesn't converge to 0 BLER with increasing SNR. The issue didn't appear
in CI because of the bandwidth and antenna count limitations.

- docker on CI machine avra was updated to version 26.0.0, which reports
  parameter "version" as obsolete
- this additional log causes fail of the container undeployment to stage

Closes: #775

We observe these asserts while running concurrent UL traffic on many
UEs:

  Assertion (crc->rnti == rx->rnti) failed!
  In handle_nr_ulsch() ../../../openair2/NR_PHY_INTERFACE/NR_IF_Module.c:193
  mis-match between CRC RNTI 7221 and RX RNTI 35cf

CRC and RX indication need to be pairwise for one UE, when here we have
each for different UE. However, investigation seemed to indicate that
both arrays for CRC and RX indication contained only one PDU; it seemed
the RNTI changed while writing the CRC/RX.indication messages in
nr_fill_indication().

In this patch, we change the logic to mark a ULSCH free AFTER calling
nr_fill_indication(). It is difficult to say if this makes the assertion
disappear, but preliminary tests did not exhibit the same failure
states.

Closes #773

- It is only a couple of bytes
- It hid a bug: if two preambles, L1_nr_prach_procedures() overwrote the
  preamble of the first with the second one

if we reduce, we will never do all rach indications. Go one-by-one
instead.
