Implementation of 2-Step RA

Nuno Domingues requested to merge RA_2-Step into develop

Implementation of 2-Step RA that includes:

  • Add configuration file with support for RA 2-Step
  • Add RA 2-Step configuration parameters to SIB1
  • Compute RA 2-Step MsgB_RNTI as specified in 3GPP TS 38.321 Section 5.1.3a
  • Baseline implementation of RA 2-Step MsgA procedures at gNB and at OAI UE
  • Implementation of RA 2-Step MsgB procedures at gNB and at OAI UE
  • Encode and decode SuccessRAR MAC CE.

Future work:

  • Implementation of a timer and procedures for msgB-ResponseWindow
  • Implementation of FallbackRAR and corresponding procedures (Switch between 2-Step RA and 4-Step RA)
  • Test 2-Step RA interoperability with COTS UE.

This is part of the work developed by Allbesmart within the project Imagine Beyond 5G (https://imagineb5g.eu/).
