Currently we set some cell tunable parameters on the cell object itself (e.g. dl_earfcn), while other cell tunable parameters on the cell_default object, e.g. cell bandwidth. This works ok when there is only one cell, but with multiple cells it makes a problem because different cells can have e.g. different bandwidth.
So as preparatory step for MultiRU move the code, that sets tunable parameters for lte cells, from cell_default to cell object itself.
Rendered enb.cfg and gnb.cfg change but we can verify that the configuration, that enb actually uses, stays the same: When enb starts it builds internal configuration for all configured cell objects by merging cell_default + cell's explicit configuration and using the result as the actual configuration for the cell. There is no more cell_default in that actual configuration. And also enb emits that actual runtime configuration in the beginning of enb.log which we can extract and investigate(*)
So this way we can run enb with old and new generated enb.cfg and then compare the actual configuration. It turns out to be exactly the same.
