From 5ac70756435213783c5f6896d17d1b55ba17286c Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Neels Hofmeyr Date: Thu, 8 Jul 2021 04:20:59 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] RES IND: pick lchan with least interference In lchan_select, do not return on the first available lchan, but iterate through all available lchans. Among those that would match, pick the one with the lowest interference level as indicated by earlier RES IND. Lchans that have no interference ratings are picked last. This feature is off by default, enable per BTS with network bts N channel allocator avoid-interference 1 osmo-bsc still does the same ascending/descending lchan allocation as before this patch with the default setting of: channel allocator avoid-interference 0 Related: SYS#5313 Change-Id: I844494092193811dfd9fa4d52983cbaed0fc9248 --- src/osmo-bsc/lchan_select.c | 59 +++++++++++++++---- .../handover/test_resource_indication.ho_vty | 27 +++------ 2 files changed, 57 insertions(+), 29 deletions(-) diff --git a/src/osmo-bsc/lchan_select.c b/src/osmo-bsc/lchan_select.c index efa2ff29b..3618fb4e8 100644 --- a/src/osmo-bsc/lchan_select.c +++ b/src/osmo-bsc/lchan_select.c @@ -30,22 +30,36 @@ #include #include +static struct gsm_lchan *pick_better_lchan(struct gsm_lchan *a, struct gsm_lchan *b) +{ + if (!a) + return b; + if (!b) + return a; + /* comparing negative dBm values: smaller value means less interference. */ + if (b->interf_dbm < a->interf_dbm) + return b; + return a; +} + static struct gsm_lchan * _lc_find_trx(struct gsm_bts_trx *trx, enum gsm_phys_chan_config pchan, enum gsm_phys_chan_config as_pchan, bool allow_pchan_switch, bool log) { struct gsm_lchan *lchan; + struct gsm_lchan *found_lchan = NULL; struct gsm_bts_trx_ts *ts; int j, start, stop, dir; -#define LOGPLCHANALLOC(fmt, args...) \ +#define LOGPLCHANALLOC(fmt, args...) do { \ if (log) \ LOGP(DRLL, LOGL_DEBUG, "looking for lchan %s%s%s%s: " fmt, \ gsm_pchan_name(pchan), \ pchan == as_pchan ?
