When a GTP transaction occurs, the ENB-UE associated with the MME-UE may change.
To address this, we have changed the structure to include the ENB-UE
in the GTP transaction, similar to AMF.
When a UEContextReleaseRequest and a Service Request occur simultaneously,
the ENB-UE in the Release Access Bearer Request/Response GTP transaction is
designed to persist even if the ENB-UE Context changes.
Update Bearer Request
Modify Bearer Context Request
Modify Bearer Context Accept
Update Bearer Response
In the process above, we incorrectly used the Timer
that the MME uses to wait for the eNB.
We used xact's holding timer, which continues to hold the transaction
for further exception handling even after sending the Update Bearer Response.
This timer should end exactly when the Update Bearer Response is sent
by the MME to the SGW-C. Therefore, we have added a new peer timer
in xact for this purpose.
Consider the following situation.
```
1. SMF->SGW-C->MME: First Update Bearer Request
2. MME->UE: First Modify EPS bearer context request
3. SMF->SGW-C->MME: Second Update Bearer Request
4. MME->UE: Second Modify EPS bearer context request
5. UE->MME: First Modify EPS bearer context accept
6. MME->SGW-C->SMF: First Update Bearer Response
7. UE->MME: Second Modify EPS bearer context accept
8. MME->SGW-C->SMF: Second Update Bearer Response
```
Until now, only one GTP transaction was managed for one bearer.
Therefore, if the UE does not send an EPS Modify bearer accept to the MME,
and the SMF/SGW-C sends an Update Bearer Request to the MME,
The NEW update bearer request overwrites the OLD that was previously managed.
So we modified it to manage them simultaneously.
However, we don't know if this is the right way to implement it.
So if the SMF/SGW-C sends 5 MMEs of Update Bearer Request and
the UE sends only 3 MMEs of Modify EPS bearer context accept,
we have no way to associate it.
Therefore, it's implemented so that we just process them sequentially and
2 of them are just timeout.
In an Inter-RAT setup a UE could perform a TAU coming from a 2G/3G network.
In that case the UE/MS is unknown to the MME and it should request the
SGSN context (MM, PDP) from the old SGSN. This is done through the following
GTPv1C message exchange on the Gn interface of SGSN and MME:
SGSN <- MME: SGSN Context Request
SGSN -> MME: SGSN Context Response
SGSN <- MME: SGSN Context Acknowledge
Diagram with full set of steps can be found at 3GPP TS 23.401 D.3.6.
This commit doesn't aim to be a complete implementation of the mentioned
procedure, since it's quite a complex one, with lots of fields and logic
required. This so far only implements in general the minimally
successful case by filling as much as possible the required set of
fields.
This will allow for a base onto which do incremental improvements and
fixes while testing against UEs and SGSNs (such as osmo-sgsn, which
doesn't yet support this procedure but will potentially earn it soon).
The reverse direction, aka UE issuing cell reselection 4G->2G was
already implemented (same as here, initial non-complete implementation)
in open5gs-mmed in commit 3d693da73e.

* Cancel Location while Idle Fix
* Forgot about SGSAP on MME Change.
Added "action" to sgsap_send_detach..
* Make handle_clr uniform with other handlers
* Added Robustness for Any Detach Type
* Memory wasn't freed upon CLR for unknown IMSIs
* Moving MME Detach to new PR
* CLR while idle is broken after 7031856cd7
Cancel Location Request arriving while UE is idle will not proceed to paging due to this check for S1 connection. Using new flag "isAnswer" to bypass this check to allow paging to occur when we are not doing a AIA/ULA related procedure.
* No Context Setup is required when sending the detach request. If the paging was due to wanting to send a Detach Request to the UE, then we fast track to sending the detach request.
* emm-sm.c:
In the case of MME initiated detach while UE is idle, there is no initial conext setup. We go right from the service request after paging into sending the detach request. TS23.401
mme-path.c:
Using nas_eps.type in the case of MME Initiated Detach while UE is idle does not work. nas_eps.type would represent the service request.
mme-s11-handler.c:
After S11 action, no action should be taken. We want to wait for the detach accept from the UE before proceeding with the S1 release (detach).
* InitialContextSetup should occur for detach.
- Added diameter dictionary definitions for Cancel Location
- Cancel Location will completely remove UE from MME, allow for a fresh IMSI attach to occur on next attempt.
- T3422 is used for detach request.
- Added new handling for s6a events in mme-sm, as not all s6a messages are at attach now. Maybe there's something in a state machine I should've been using here instead of a new flag?
- Testing was completed with UE in idle and connected. With CLR flags indicating re-attach required and without. Also sending CLR after UE detach. And then sending again when mme_ue is empty.
In the past only GTPv2C was supported, and had the "gtp" generic prefix.
Later on, GTPv1C support was added, and "gtp1" prefix was used.
Let's move GTPv2C specific bits to have "gtp2" prefix too, and leave
"gtp" prefix for generic stuff among different GTP versions.
* [CORE] tlv: Store mode in ogs_tlv_t
This allows specifying the format of the IE for each individual IE,
hence allowing messages containing IEs formatted in different ways.
This is needed in order to support parsing GTPv1-C, since messages
contain IEs with different structure (TLV vs TV). Hence, this is a
preparation patch to add support for parsing TVs in ogs-tlv.c/.h.
* [CORE] tlv: Support parsing msg with both TLV and TV in it
IEs of type TV are sometimes used in GTPv1-C. Current tlv parser/builder
doesn't provide with ways to parse messages which contain TV formatted
IEs. This patch adds the relevant types and ways to encode/decode them.
Furthermore, the current parser/builder allows parsing/building messages
containing the exact same format in all its IEs. A new parser function
is added which allows parsing messages of different types (TV, TLV)
mixed in the same message. In order to be able to do so, it uses the
general msg_mode passed to it in order to know the general TLV format
(in essence, the length of the Tag field, and also the length of the
Length field if applicable each IE).
Looking up the instance in the TLV description is left undone and
hadcoded to 0, since the only user so far requiring this API is GTPv1-C,
which has no instances.
* [CORE] tlv: Support repeated tag+instance parsing TLV message
In GTPv2C, repeated IEs (same tag) are easily differentiated by the
Instance byte, which provides info to match different decoded
structures. In GTPv1C though, there's no Instance byte, and we still
encounter repeated IEs (like GSN Address in Create PDP Context Request).
Hence, the TLV decoder needs to be updated to track count of IEs found
(identified by tag+instance, where instance is always 0 in GTPv1C) and
get the proper description index + offset into the decoded structure.
* [GTP]: Move GTPv2-C specifics to its own libgtp subdir
This will allow adding GTPv1-C code by the side. Most GTPv2 code is left
in this patch as "gtp" instead of renaming it to "gtp2" in order to
avoid massive changes. It can be done at a later stage if wanted.
* [GTP] Support generating GTPv1-C messages
* [SMF] Add Gn interface support
This patch introduces GTPv1C support to open5gs-smfd. With it,
open5gs-becomes a GGSN too, where SGSN can connect to, hence supporting
GERAN and UTRAN networks.
* [GTP] xact: Fix trailing whitespace
* [GTP] xact: Avoid exporting internally used functions
This simplifies the API header hiding unneeded APIs from external
components, and lets the compiler further optimize by
marking the functions as static.
* [GTP] xact: Drop unused API ogs_gtp_xact_find
After making it static, it became clear to the compiler that this
function is not used anywhere, warning about it. Let's drop it.
* [SMF] Fix potential null pointer dereference
Pointer "sess" was first dereferenced and later on checked for nullness.
This is clearly wrong. Rearrange the code path to make sure the check is
done first, then dereferenced.
* gitignore: Add subprojects/libtins
* cosmetic: Fix whitespace
- Set the number of UEs in units of AMF/MME instead of gNB/eNB.
- See default value as shown below
Number of UEs per AMF/MME : 4,096
Number of gNB/eNB per AMF/MME : 32
