This is primarily a bugfix release.
-
Pdcp: Fixed Dual Connectivity bug where separate PDCP entities were
incorrectly created for LTE and NR legs of a Split Bearer instead of using a
single shared entity. This fix breaks RLC-UM packet loss statistics which
(incorrectly) inferred packet loss from PDCP sequence numbers. -
RlcUm: Removed packet loss statistics that incorrectly relied on PDCP sequence
numbers (PDCP sequences are not contiguous in Dual Connectivity setups) -
PacketFlowManager: Renamed to PacketFlowObserver, updated NED documentation.
-
Statistics collection refined, e.g. remove recording "sum" and/or "mean" where
it does not make sense; use new "rateavg" filter for computing average
throughput. -
Binder: New utility functions: isGNodeB(), getUeNodeId().
-
Apps: Added sequence numbers to VoIP and VoD packet names, to facilitate
tracing with Qtenv. -
NED documentation: Added content to simu5g-index.ned including version number
and WHATSNEW.
