Small fix for jenkins message formatting

Add a new CI label: nrUE

Added handling of the nrUE label which limits the amount of CI tests to run. Only tests that use nr-uesoftmodem or phy simulators are triggered.

Added handling of the nrUE label which limits the amount of CI tests to run.
Only tests that use nr-uesoftmodem or phy simulators are triggered.

This merge request is for two issues:

1. Core Network Deployment/Undeployment

If the Helm release oai5gcn does not exist (e.g., it was already deleted,
failed during installation), helm uninstall will fail with a "release not
found" error. The --timeout 60s makes Helm wait up to 60 seconds for all
resources to be deleted. If cleanup takes longer (e.g., due to resources
or dependencies), the command fails with a timeout error, potentially
leaving resources in an incomplete state.

2. Increase the timeout value for OpenShift RHEL Builds

The timeout parameter is set as the maximum wait time for the jobs to complete.
If the jobs do not complete within that time, the function logs an error. The
jobs may take longer to complete, the function exits early with an error, even
if the jobs are still progressing.

So, to address both the issues:

We first list all installed Helm releases in the given namespace, returning only
their names. We then pass the release names to helm uninstall, uninstalling all
releases in the namespace. The default value for timeout is 5 minutes.

Increased the timeout value for the RHEL Builds.

Rework of NR UE RA procedures

Closes #848

fix(nrLDPC_decoder): fix numIter increment

The logs of ./nr_ulsim -n100 -m19 -s12 -S12 -z2 -L4 were showing that sometimes
the decoding of one segment was failing while the CRC check succeeded. This was
happening because the iteration counter numIter was not properly managed so that
when the last iteration was successful to decode the segment still numIter at
the exit was equal to numMaxIter plus 1 so that decoding was considered to have
failed. In other words the last iteration if it occured was always wasted.

This commit offers to solve this problem by simply moving the iteration counter
increment at the end of the iteration loop while remaining careful at fixing the
tests relying on this counter.

Post-Scriptum:
After a first review, we decided to make the counter more standard from a C code
perspective. The counter now counts from 0 to numMaxIter minus 1. If it reaches
numMaxIter, it means that decoding was unsuccessful.

remove wrong assertion for B4 PRACH format

Introduced in !3088 (merged)

use sleep to delay UE to allow the convergence of the IIR filter on PRACH noise measurements at gNB side instead of counting frames

This is required to comply with the standard to flush MSG3 buffer in some occasions and to keep preparing MSG3 payload in advance

Jaroslava Fiedlerova authored 1 week ago and Shubhika Garg committed 1 week ago

Default value of timeout is 5 minutes.

error for ra-responsewindow exceeding 10ms instead of assertion (CI test with FAPI would fail otherwise)

(this is needed because it might expire while MSG2 is being decoded despite being received inside the window)

start the rar reception window in PRACH slots but take into account the additional slots difference wrt when we actually would need to start it (in first DCI occasion)

also removed unnecessary BWP dependence

this is for do-ra mostly and it was just called to compute MSG3 size which is fixed and known
