BS Power Control is not allowed on the BCCH/CCCH carrier, unless
the BTS is operating in the BCCH carrier power reduction mode.
Allow constrained BS power reduction (up to 6 dB) on active logical
channels iff BCCH carrier power reduction mode is enabled.
Take into account that the maximum power difference between a timeslot
used for BCCH/CCCH and the timeslot preceding it shall not exceed 3 dB.

The BCCH carrier (sometimes called C0) of a BTS shall maintain
discontinuous Downlink transmission at full power in order to
stay 'visible' to the mobile stations. Because of that, early
versions of 3GPP TS 45.008 prohibited BS power reduction on C0.
However, starting from version 13.0.0 (2015-11) there is a feature
called 'BCCH carrier power reduction operation'. This is a special
mode of operation, where the variation of RF level for some
timeslots is relaxed for the purpose of energy saving.
In BCCH carrier power reduction operation, for timeslots on the
C0 carrier, except timeslots carrying BCCH/CCCH, the output power
may be lower than the output power used for timeslots carrying
BCCH/CCCH. In this case the maximum allowed difference in output
power actually transmitted by the BTS is 6 dB.
Introduce a VTY command to turn on and off the BCCH carrier power
reduction operation. Also introduce a CTRL command. On the
A-bis/RSL, abuse the BS POWER CONTROL message by setting
the Channel Number IE to 0x80 (RSL_CHAN_BCCH).
Currently, only osmo-bts-trx is supported. A value greater than
zero makes it reduce the power on *inactive* timeslots of the
BCCH carrier. Sending zero disables the BCCH power reduction
mode completely.
For more details, see 3GPP TS 45.008, section 7.1, and 3GPP TR 45.926.

The AFS bias actually should not apply to local cell lchans, because it
makes no sense for intra-cell considerations:
- same-cell lchans obviously have identical rxlev;
- any nonzero AFS bias thus always raises the TCH/F above the TCH/H;
- for intra-cell reassignment, the power budget hysteresis is,
naturally, not applied.
So, before this patch, setting AFS bias even to only 1 would
unconditionally move all (AMR) TCH/H lchans over to free TCH/F lchans in
the same cell.
Recent patch Id40d1cf8b58410c7d4eb87407fe8b8106e352438 implements
explicit upgrade from TCH/H to TCH/F *if* the TCH/H is experiencing low

lchan_update_name().
This is a bit convoluted for legacy reasons. There are utility programs

In RR Channel Mode Modify, send a spec conforming VAMOS channel mode as

sequence code value.
In RSL MODE MODIFY, send Osmocom specific extensions to indicate the TSC
Set and TSC, as well as the VAMOS channel mode; only to OsmoBTS type
cells.
- Set the Channel Mode's Channel Rate to Osmocom specific
RSL_CMOD_CRT_OSMO_TCH_VAMOS_Bm / RSL_CMOD_CRT_OSMO_TCH_VAMOS_Lm
- Add the Osmocom specific Training Sequence IE containing both TSC Set
and TSC.
(These are documented in the Abis manual.)
Implementation:
The internal API to request a Mode Modify is lchan_modify(info). Add to
this info the 'vamos' bool, set to true when the modification should put
the lchan in VAMOS channel mode or not.
When info.vamos == true, make sure the channel mode value is a VAMOS
one: in the copy of info->ch_mode_rate at lchan->modify.ch_mode_rate,
convert to the right VAMOS/non-VAMOS equivalent channel mode.
When the modification is through, set lchan->vamos.enabled
appropriately.

Activating / modifying to a VAMOS mode will require picking specific TSC
Set / TSC. It is a bad idea to pick the TSC in each message encoding
function, rather make this choice centrally.
So far we pick the training sequence code to use based on the timeslot
configuration, and this TSC is determined only upon encoding the RSL
messages.
Instead, pick the TSC to use upon the initial lchan activation /
modification request; store this in the request structs and pass through
the activation / modification code paths.
For VAMOS modes, we also need to pick a TSC Set. Do so also upon activ /
modif request. Note that the TSC Set is not yet applied in this patch,
it will be applied in upcoming VAMOS patches.
The activ / modif request may pass -1 for tsc_set and/or tsc to indicate
no specific choice of TSC Set and TSC, resulting in the same behavior as
before this patch.
For example, lchan->activate.info.tsc* may be passed as -1. The exact
choice for tsc_set and tsc is then stored in lchan->activate.tsc*, i.e.
one level up (the .info sub-struct is considered as immutable input
args). The lchan->activate.tsc* are the values actually encoded in RSL
messages. After the ACK, the lchan->activate.tsc* is stored in
lchan->tsc* to indicate the TSC actually in use. Same for modif.
Note that in 3GPP TS 45.002, the TSC Set are numbered 1 to 4, while the
TSC are numbered 0 to 7. On the wire, though, TSC Set is sent as 0 to 3
value. This is a weird discrepancy, odd choice made by the spec authors.
For conformance with the spec wording, I decided to pass the TSC Set
number as a 1-4 ranged value, and only convert it to the 0-3 on-the-wire
format upon message encoding. So log messages and VTY output will
indicate the first TSC Set as "1", but the first TSC as "0", as defined
in 3GPP TS 45.002, even if that is somewhat weird.

So far the Channel Description IE is always composed with a training

It is better design to take state change actions in the onenter

Firstly, do not store the encoded AMR length-value bits in gsm_lchan->*

And secondly, do not store the AMR LV structure in struct gsm_lchan at

The previous patch reshuffled the code without having any functional
change. In this patch, a functional change follows:
It does not really make sense to decide on AMR mode filtering based on
whether an activation request came from the VTY:
a) BTS: There is no need to skip AMR mode filtering for the BTS config
at all. There is always a BTS.
b) MSC: Instead of testing for a VTY origin of the request, rather skip
the MSC AMR config filtering exactly when there is no conn associated
with the lchan.
Move the bts filtering directly into mr_config_filter().

Split off two function from lchan_mr_config() which do not directly
manipulate struct gsm_lchan members. This allows subsequent patches to
re-use mr_config_filter() for Channel Mode Modify without depending on
lchan->activate.info; allows to filter AMR modes without modifying the
state of an already active lchan before sending a Channel Activation or
Channel Mode Modify; and allows to move mr_config_render_lv() to
gsm_04_08_rr.c so that the mr_ms_lv and mr_bts_lv no longer need to be
stored in struct gsm_lchan -- they essentially duplicate s15_s0.
Rationale:
This is a follow-up for the AMR configuration in the sense that previous
patch Ie0da36124d73efc28a8809b63d7c96e2167fc412 started for channel mode
and rate, and the s15_s0 bits:
The AMR mode filtering directly manipulates struct gsm_lchan members and
takes parameters from lchan->activate.info. This makes it hard to
separate lchan activation from the Channel Mode Modify procedure.

I noticed during testing that an lchan used as TCH/F in fact still had
its channel mode set to Signalling -- because on Assignment, the Speech
mode used to be placed in the *previous* lchan and the new lchan was
never updated after the Activ ACK. This is unbearable confusion which I
complained about numerous times, so far mostly for cosmetic reasons. But
implementing re-assignment properly actually requires this to be cleaned
up.
Keep all volatile chan mode settings in lchan->activate.* or
lchan->modify.*, and only update lchan->* members when an ACK has been
received for those settings. So a failed request keeps a sane state.
Make sure that those settings are in fact updated in the proper lchan,
upon an ACK, so that subsequent re-assignment or mode-modify know the
accurate lchan state.

The Channel Mode Modify procedure is currently implemented for changing
a TCH lchan from signalling to voice mode. For that, however, it is
re-using (abusing) the channel activation structs and state transitions,
and thus always implies activating a voice stream when the mode
modification is done.
I will add a Channel Mode Modify to enable VAMOS mode soon, so I require
separate structs and state transitions which also work on an lchan that
already has a voice stream established: a struct lchan_modify_info and
LCHAN_EV_REQUEST_MODE_MODIFY, and dedicated assignment FSM state
ASSIGNMENT_ST_WAIT_LCHAN_MODIFIED.
For the part where a Channel Mode Modify enables a voice stream after
switching from signalling to speech mode, still use the channel
activation code path, but only once the mode modification is done.
General improvements:
- To ask for a mode modification, emit an FSM event that ensures a mode
modify only happens when the lchan state allows it.
- The new lchan_modify_info struct reflects only those parts that have
an effect during a mode modification (before the lchan_activate_info
was fully populated, many values not having an effect).
- More accurate logging, indicating "Mode Modify" instead of "Channel
Activation"
A TTCN3 test for the Channel Mode Modify procedure is added in

The effects of the neighbor configuration depend on the LAC, Cell
Identity, ARFCN, BSIC configuration of neighbor cells. Make sure that
the neighbor ARFCN list in the System Information is updated.
This may seem rather aggressive: updating the SI of all BTS if only one
config item changed. But indeed even modifying one config item of one
BTS may cause a change in the neighbor relations that many other BTS may
have to the changed BTS. For example, if many BTS configure a
'neighbor lac-ci 42 23', and this cell's config changes to LAC 43, all
of those other BTS need to update their neighbor ARFCNs.
Also update the system information even before the BTS are connected and
started up. The main benefit here is that the VTY 'show bts N' command
then already lists the correct neighbor ARFCNs.
In gsm_bts_trx_set_system_infos(), make sure that the updated SI is only
sent to TRXes that are actually usable, otherwise abis_rsl_sendmsg()
spams the log with complaints that a message's dst == NULL. Still return
an error rc in case a TRX is not connected, so that the CTRL command
bts.N.send-new-system-informations accurately returns whether SI were
actually sent to all TRXes.

Calculating the Cell Allocation (basically a bit-vector of all the
frequencies allocated to a cell) on the OML link establishment has
several downsides and potential problems:
* Theoretically, more than 64 ARFCNs can be allocated for a cell
via the VTY interface. The problem here is that the Mobile
Allocation IE cannot contain more than 64 channels.
* The BSC's operator will neither be warned by the interactive
VTY shell during configuration, nor during the startup.
* The BSC will accept such a configuration, but then will be
unable to encode the Mobile Allocation IEs at run-time.
This change aims to improve the situation by separating part of
the logic from generate_cell_chan_list(), and invoking this
part directly from the VTY commands. This way it will become
impossible to configure more than 64 ARFCNs, neither via the
config file, nor interactively from the VTY.

The neighbor configuration storage is fundamentally broken: it requires
all local cells to be configured before being able to list them as
neighbors of each other. Upon config write-back, the neighbor config
however is placed back inline with the other config, and hence a
written-out neighbor config no longer works on program restart.
The cause of this problem is that the config is stored as explicit
pointers between local cells (struct gsm_bts), which of course requires
the pointer to exist before being able to reference it.
Instead, store the actual configuration that the user entered as-is,
without pointers or references to objects that need to be ready. Resolve
the neighbors every time a neighbor is needed.
Hence the user may enter any config at any place in the config file,
even non-working config (like a BTS number that doesn't exist), and the
relation to actual local or remote neighbor cells is made at runtime.
Abort program startup if the initial neighbor configuration contains
errors.

So far the list of penalty timers was stored for an opaque target
pointer. That was either a gsm_bts pointer for a local BTS, or a cell
identifier list pointer for a remote-BSS cell.
Reasons to refactor penalty timers:
- The cell identifier list pointer came from the neighbor configuration
storage, but the way cell neighbor config is stored will change in a
subsequent patch. There will be no more cell identifier lists there.
- Storing object pointers is inherently unsafe -- if an object gets
removed and another gets allocated, the penalty timer could
theoretically remain in force for an unrelated object.
Rather store penalty timers for specific Cell IDs. Since remote-BSS
neighbors can be requested by a cell identifier *list*, use a
gsm0808_cell_id_list2 as key in the list of penalty timers.
Fix handover_test.c: have different CI for each local BTS. So far it was
the same LAC+CI for all BTSes, which now would make the test fail,
because any penalty timer would appear to apply to all local cells.

So far osmo-bsc would enable Uplink DPC (Dynamic Power Control) only
for osmo-bts, and the 'static' mode for all other BTS models. This
decision dates back to the time when ip.access specific encoding for
dynamic power control parameters was not implemented, and the MS
Power Parameters IE was sent empty in the RSL messages.
Let's make a step forward by enabling Uplink DPC by default for
all BTS models which declare the API for vendor-specific encoding
of the power control parameters. Currently this includes osmo-bts
and nanoBTS, both supporting ip.access specific format.

On lchan activation, we already know the Timing Advance in most
situations: from the Channel Request RACH, or from a previous lchan in
the same cell. Place this information in lchan->activate.info.ta.
So far, the lchan->last_ta (until recently called rqd_ta) was used to
store the initial TA for channel activation -- move the initial TA to
lchan->activate.info.ta, for proper scoping.
Only an inter-cell handover does not yet know a Timing Advance (until
the Handover Detection RACH is received), so indicate
activate.info.ta_known = false for that case.
If ta_known is false, do not include an Access Delay IE in the Channel
Activation message, ensuring that the BTS does not use an arbitrary TA
that is likely inaccurate.
The effect for OsmoBTS is that we will *not* start the downlink SACCH on
channel activation for inter-cell handover, but will wait for a HO RACH
first, and then use the correct TA when enabling downlink SACCH.

If an emergency call arrives at the BSC while all TCH are busy, one TCH
is cleared in favor of the emergency call. However, if emergency calls
are disabled (system information), it is still possible that an MS might
try an emergency call anyway or that due to interference a regular call
might look like an emergency call (channel request reason). In those
cases the preemption must not happen and the emergency call must be
rejected.

Add bool log argument to lchan_avail_by_type() and omit logging when
passed as false. From handover_decision_2.c, pass 'log' as false, from
all other callers pass true, i.e. for unchanged behavior.
Rationale:
Usually, we use lchan_avail_by_type() to select a new lchan to initiate
actual service. For that, it is interesting to see how osmo-bsc decides
which lchan will be used.
For handover decision 2, we since recently call lchan_avail_by_type()
for each and every handover candidate, to determine whether it will
occupy a dynamic timeslot or not (to know whether we would congest the
other TCH kind). So this happens for each permutation of source lchan
and target cell. That produces a lot of logging, out of proportion of
being useful to the maintainer.
Change-Id: Ia403f8fc853ca9ea9e81f7a7395df6b23845ebed
For handover algorithm 2, properly figure out what effects the target
cell will see for the *other* TCH kind when a handover would occupy a
dynamic timeslot.
Before this, only TCH/F or TCH/H would be regarded at a time. This
introduces detection of whether a dynamic timeslot would be occupied by
a handover, and how losing one unused dynamic timeslot affects the
congestion situation for the TCH kind that is not targeted by the
handover.
In other words, if a handover to TCH/F causes congestion in TCH/H
because of a dynamic timeslot becoming occupied, the handover will not
be performed. Before this, oscillation situations could occur.
A subsequent patch will do the same for congestion balancing.

Allocating a new list of supported codecs *before* checking the
command arguments is a bad idea. The operator may simply mistype
one of the codecs and will end up with a list of NULL pointers.
The functions calling audio_support_to_gsm88() assume that this
list always does contain valid pointers, so if a new subscriber
connection gets established, or the operator simply invokes
'show running-config', osmo-bsc would crash due to NULL pointer
dereference.
Steps to reproduce:
1. In the VTY, do: 'en' -> 'configure terminal' -> 'msc';
2. Configure any invalid codec list, e.g. 'codec-list Boom!';
3. Invoke 'show running-config', boom!
Let's check the input before changing the internal structures.

config_write_bts_gprs() currently writes the remote address of an
NSVC even if osmo_sockaddr_str_from_sockaddr() returns non-zero

to a file would produce the following:
bts N

gprs nsvc 0 nsvci 101
gprs nsvc 0 local udp port 23023
gprs nsvc 0 remote ip 127.0.0.1
gprs nsvc 0 remote udp port 23000
gprs nsvc 1 nsvci 0
gprs nsvc 1 local udp port 0
gprs nsvc 1 remote ip
and next time osmo-bsc would refuse to start due to:
Error occurred during reading the below line:
gprs nsvc 1 remote ip
The related condition consists of the following two parts:
- checking if osmo_sockaddr_str_from_sockaddr() != 0;
- checking if 'remote.af != AF_UNSPEC'.
The first one is wrong, because osmo_sockaddr_str_from_sockaddr(),
like many other functions, returns 0 on success. Let's fix this.
After the fix, the second part does not seem to make sense, because
remote.af would remain AF_UNSPEC (0) if the function call succeeds.
Printing the remote port alone does not make sense, let's avoid
printing it if the address cannot be parsed into a string.

For balancing load across congested cells and across congested TCH/*
kinds, instead of comparing the number of lchans above the configured
congestion threshold, compare the percent of lchans of overload.
In short, using a percentage prevents cells with less min-free-slots to
fill up 100% while neighbor cells still may have several free lchans
available.
An obvious example of why this is desirable is illustrated by
test_balance_congestion_by_percentage.ho_vty:
Cell A has min-free-slots 2, and has all slots occupied.
Cell B has min-free-slots 4, and has 2 slots remaining free.
If we count congested lchans as in current master: cell A has a
congestion count of 2: two more lchans in use than "allowed". If we move
one lchan over to cell B, it ends up with a congestion count of 3, which
is worse than 2. So when counting lchans, we decide that cell A should
remain full.
Instead, when comparing percentage of remaining lchans, we would see
that cell A is loaded 100% above congestion (2 of 2 remaining lchans in
use), but when moving one lchan to cell B, that would only be 75% loaded
above its treshold (3 of 4 remaining lchans in use). So a percentage
comparison would cause a handover to cell B.

Fix flaws in picking a candidate for congestion resolution, shown in
recently added tests.
- For TCH/H->TCH/F upgrading, do not favor moving to a weaker neighbor
cell.
- When comparing dynamic timeslots on the same cell, favor a dynamic
timeslot that frees an entire dyn TS even though the target rxlev
differs.
Do not separate the passes for inter-cell and intra-cell candidates:
before, the inter-cell pass would already pick a candidate and start
handover, even though the subsequent intra-cell pass would have revealed
a better candidate. Join the intra-cell considerations into
pick_better_lchan_to_move().
The intra-cell pass was separate, because it would find the *weakest*
current rxlev, to give a TCH/H to TCH/F upgrade to the currently weakest
lchan.
Instead of the separate pass for weakest rxlev, in addition to the
target cell's rxlev, also consider the rxlev *change* in
pick_better_lchan_to_move(): For candidates that do not change the rxlev
(usually those that stay in the same cell) and that upgrade to TCH/F,
favor a candidate with weaker current rxlev.
Completely revisit the conditions in pick_better_lchan_to_move() to
yield the desired prioritization of candidate preferences.
In three handover tests, remove the "FAIL" comments and adjust to now
expect the actually desired behavior.
