software/ors-amarisoft: enb/generic: Switch configuration of RU, cell, peer and peercell to shared instances Previously we had cell_list, ncell_list and peers parameters and we now remove them and rework the software release to accept configuration for said objects via shared instances. In other words now it is possible to add Radio Units, cells, peers and peer cells on on top of main eNB service. Schema for parameters of those shared instances is based on what we just recently generalized and established in ru/ cell/ peer/ and peer/cell/ input schemas. We only add cell_kind=enb|enb_peer addition field to be able to distinguish a cell from peercell object, and we add a way for cell to reference RU one way or another. RU-CELL relation is no longer 1-1: one RU can be generally serving multiple cells. For example transmission bandwidth of SDR100 board is ~ 100MHz while bandwidth of one LTE cell is max 20MHz. This way it is possible to put several cells whose frequencies are nearby each other to be run on the same SDR board(*). And in general one Radio Unit can be serving transmission/reception in multiple frequency ranges, thus providing ability for multiple cells to be served by RU. This way RU is split off from CELL object and each CELL needs to say which RU object it wants to use. There are 3 ways to configure CELL->RU links: 1. CELL references a RU object. This is the most general. 2. CELL embeds definition of RU object. This variant is provided for simplicity of management for users that do not want to split CELL/RU relations. 3. CELL2 references another cell object and says to use the same RU as CELL1. Again, this variant is provided for simplicity of management when users want to add a cell on top of same RU when they already started with "2". Full backward compatibility is provided for ORS. For this instance-ors-enb.jinja2.cfg is adjusted to inject synthetic RU/CELL/PEER/PEERCELL shared instances instead of translating to slapparameter_dict. As the result for ORS users it works without visible change as parameters with original ORS schema are handled as expected. Rendered files for ORS also stay practically the same as before this patch. The main change is in slaplte.jinja2 - in the loading routines. The other changes are mostly straightforward adaptation because details of how ru_dict, cell_dict, peer_dict and peercell_dict are loaded were already localized to slaplte and the rest of the code independent from that. Now, once we switched to shared instances, we will be finally able to add tests for updated enb. Please see a soon follow-up patch for that. And for existing test_ors.py we also temporary workaround breakage of tests, because currently generic code does not handle well special characters in partition references. For example it currently breaks on spaces with buildout complaining that sections with spaces in their name are invalid. We will fix that in another soon-followup patch as well, but apply a workaround for now. (*) see https://tech-academy.amarisoft.com/SDR_MultiCell_OneSdr.html for details. -------- Appendix.
