This introduces the signals S_LCHAN_ACTIVATE_{ACK,NACK} and
S_LCAN_HANDOVER_{FAIL,COMPL,DETECT} as well as code that actually issues
those signals. The signals are relevant for a yet-to-be-written handover
control logic.
IPA is naming these functions CRCX, MDCX, DLCX to follow
the naming of the MediaGatewayControlProtocol. Change the
code to go from BIND to CRCX (create connection) and from
CONNECT to MDCX (modify connection).
Connect indicates that it is only possible to call it once
while it is possible to call it more than once to modify
the audio parmaters and such. So the IPA terminology is
making a bit more sense here (now that we know it).
This allows the administrator to use the vty interface to issue a silent
call to a given subscriber by using
"subscriber extension XXXX silent call start"
and stopping that silent call with
"subscriber extension XXXX silent call stop"
SM's need to be transferred over their own RLL connection on SAPI3, rather than
the default SAPI0 connection that we're using for signalling like 04.08
RR/MM/CC.
This is not that much of a problem in the case of SMS SUBMIT from the MS to
the netwrok. In that case, the MS will start its primary RLL connection
with SAPI3, and we can just respond with SAPI3.
However, in the case of SMS DELIVER to a MS, we first page the MS, it then
establishes SAPI0. We then need to explicitly request the establishment of
a SAPI3 RLL connection, before we can send CP-DATA with our RP-DATA and DELIVER
RPDU
Now that we have the bsc_rll.c code, we can actually wait for a paging
response, and from the paging response request the establishment of the SAPI3
connection. We will be called back once that connection is open and can
successively start transmission of the SM.
we now have the full path from the MS into the database (SUBMIT), as well as
back from the database to the MS (DELIVER). The database gets correctly
updated once a SMS has been successfully delivered.
What's still missing is the periodic scan over all undelivered messages,
trying to deliver them to the respective MS. So far, you have to manually
trigger this on the telnet interface with 'sms send pending 1'
This helps us to detect the frequency error of BS-11 if it is located
next to the nanoBTS 900.
If 'ipaccess-config -l' is called, it will produce a report like
<0020> ipaccess-config.c:85 TEST REPORT: test_no=0x42 test_res=0
<0020> ipaccess-config.c:108 ==> ARFCN 220, Frequency Error 22
<0020> ipaccess-config.c:108 ==> ARFCN 1, Frequency Error -37
<0020> ipaccess-config.c:108 ==> ARFCN 10, Frequency Error 0
<0020> ipaccess-config.c:108 ==> ARFCN 20, Frequency Error 11
<0020> ipaccess-config.c:108 ==> ARFCN 53, Frequency Error 5
<0020> ipaccess-config.c:108 ==> ARFCN 63, Frequency Error -4
<0020> ipaccess-config.c:108 ==> ARFCN 84, Frequency Error 11
<0020> ipaccess-config.c:108 ==> ARFCN 101, Frequency Error 0
<0020> ipaccess-config.c:108 ==> ARFCN 123, Frequency Error -52
where in this case the ARFCN 123 is the BS-11 with a frequency error
larger than all the other (regular) BTS in the vicinity.
Currently we send the attribute changes in a send and forget
fashion. But sometimes the nanoBTS is sending us a NACK, e.g
with a invalid unit id. Start handling the NACK and provide
an error message to the user. The error message is not yet
describing the cause of the error but this is a slight progress
to the previous silent failure.
When trying to operate a nanoBTS900 on channels for 1800
or the other way around the "SET BTS ATTRIBUTES" message
will be nacked. Dispatch all nacked messages from abis_nm
via signals. Handle this in bsc_hack.c, print a small hint
and exit the application as this is considered a fatal
unrecoverable error (the exit is in the app, so a library
can be more robust).
