Only page if we have a load that is acceptable for paging. This
option is off by default, and can be enabled per bts. The idea
is that when we have no resources right now we will not page as
it will only create more RACHs and increase the load.
By default we are keeping the old behavior to always page and
only by changing a setting one is using the new behavior.
It is possible that the MSC is not sending the channel type it
needs for the operations it wants to do. Add a configuration option
to assign a TCH in case of paging any requests. It can be a good
idea to leave SDCCHs free for location updating requests and use
the TCH for SMS-MT and CC-MT.
Store the mapping from request to channel type in the GSM Network
struct as there is some policy involved with handling the request.
E.g. in a half rate network we don't want emergy calls to be getting
a TCH/F, or we want to have a different policy for early/late assignment
of phone calls. Update the table when creating the network and when
the neci is changed.
Allow the MS to use uplink discontinous transmission by
setting the right bit in the SystemInformation and set
DTXd/DTXu on the RSL channel commands.
This is configurable via dtx-used (0|1) on the network
level and still considered as experimental.
A channel will be released in case of
* Errors via the clear_request callback...
* no more transactions and operations are going on.
This means that if we do something without a transaction
the channel might be closed down right away. The bug fix
will be to create a transaction/operation.
This is a big change to the way we use the subscriber
connection. From now on it is is dynamically allocated
and we will slowly move from a 1:1 lchan to conn to
having more than one lchan per connection.
This is the first commit, the subscr_con* methods will
move to gsm_data once the use_count is removed from the
connection, the freeing of the connection will also change.
We now compute the Cell Channel Description for SI 1 by bit-wise
OR of the ARFCN bitmask of each timeslot on all the TRX of the BTS.
Also, support generating a GSM 04.08 Channel Description IE for
the hopping case (with HSN/MAIO instead of ARFCN).
What's still missing now: Sending the 04.08 Mobile Allocation IE
