I saw the old copy of the "Appendix J" code too late and I have
discovered some quirks and I am more familar with my implementation.
Most noticable 'w' only needs to be as big as the input arfcn but
requires the 'w' to be initialized. The power_of_2 implementation
differs as well (mine matches the output of wirehsark).
The f0 could be chosen in a better way but right now picking
the lower bound is the easiest. It is not clear if to use
modulo if the range is chosen in the middle. This can be improved
in the future. Right now I have no bit fiddling for range128, 256
and 1024 as I was running out of time.
alpha=0 (the new value) doesn't reduce MS transmission power during GPRS
as much as we did with alpha=10. This is to optimize for coverage and
to keep GPRS working at all cost, and not care about MS battery life
time or uplink interference in surrounding cells.
FIXME: This should be made configurable via the VTY and the normal
default (unless configured otherwise by vty/config file) should be '6'.
In order to keep mobile at PACCH as long as possible the timer T3192 is
set to 1500ms. This reduces the probablity of long lasting assignment
process on CCCH for subsequent downlink TBFs.
so far, osmo-bts/sysmobts used to be entered as "sysmobts" type in the
configuration file. However, there are some differences in the
protocol/behaviour and we should reflect that by a new BTS plugin (with
lots of code reuse from the nanobts driver).
In addition to SI 2 and SI 5, the SI 2ter and 2bis is generated, if
neighbour cells in other bands exist. Also it is indicated in the rest
octets of SI3, that SI 2ter is used. If no neighbour cell in a different
band exists, the SI 2ter and SI 5ter is omitted.
A special case is P-GSM range (channels 1-124). To be compatible with
older phones, SI 2bis and SI 5bis is used. If the BCCH lays inside the
P-GSM band, only neighbour cells of the P-GSM range are included in
SI 2 and SI 5. If neighbour cells exist in the same band (900), but lay
outside the P-GSM range, the SI 2bis and SI 5bis is used to extend the
list of neighbour cells. The extension is also indicated in SI 2 and
SI 5. If the BCCH lays inside the P-GSM range, but no neighbour cell
exists in the same band outside the P-GSM range, the SI 2bis ans SI 5bis
are omitted.
libosmogsm is a new library that is distributed in the libosmocore.
Now, openbsc depends on it. This patch gets openbsc with this
change.
This patch also rewrites all include path to the new
osmocom/[gsm|core]

The HSL Femtocell seems to be a poor man implementation of the
ip.access Abis/IP protocol, but cutting corners wherever possible.
We try to workaround those corners wherever possible...
