I find it weird that we store the A5 algorithm ID in a format that
is used on the wire: N + 1 (valid for both A-bis and A interfaces).
What confused me even more is that in some functions we print it
as if it was in a normal, human-readable format. And this is
also why one can see weird constructions like:
if (lchan->encr.alg_id > ALG_A5_NR_TO_RSL(0)) { ... }
Let's ensure that our internal structures use the A5/N format:
alg_id=0: A5/0 (0x01 on the A-bis/A interface)
alg_id=1: A5/1 (0x02 on the A-bis/A interface)
alg_id=2: A5/2 (0x03 on the A-bis/A interface)
...
alg_id=7: A5/7 (0x08 on the A-bis/A interface)
so that we can print and compare the value of alg_id without using
additional arithmetics. Let's also rename 'alg_id' to 'alg_a5_n'
as it most clearly indicates which representation it is storing.
This is how the above code snippet would look like:
if (lchan->encr.alg_a5_n > 0) { ... }

Add chan_counts_for_trx() and chan_counts_for_bts(). Drop
bts_count_free_ts() and trx_count_free_ts().
Rationale:
The bts_count_free_ts() and trx_count_free_ts() always returned the
number of free lchans, not timeslots. Hence, passing the pchan type as
argument never really matched the semantics.
Especially, when looking for free SDCCH, there is no clear match on a
gsm_phys_chan_config enum value: SDCCH8_SACCH8C, CCCH_SDCCH4,
CCCH_SDCCH4_CBCH, SDCCH8_SACCH8C_CBCH? -- GSM_LCHAN_SDCCH is clear.
==> Rather count free lchans by enum gsm_chan_t.
Counting lchans of distinct types required separate iterations for each
lchan type.
==> Rather compose an array of counts for all types, in one go.
I need to count the amount of free SDCCH lchans in an upcoming patch to
implement the performance indicator allAvailableAllocatedSDCCH (cumulate
time for which no SDCCH are available).
To implement allAvailableAllocated{SDCCH,TCH}, I need a count of both
the used as well as the total lchans for a type: it does not make sense
to flag "all available allocated" if none are ever available.
To properly count dynamic ts, I need the maximum total that can be
possible at any time. And to count currently free lchans, I need the
current total. This may seem counter intuitive, but consider, e.g.:
- Obviously, if a cell has only static TCH/F timeslots, it does not make
sense to flag that all available TCH/H are occupied, because no TCH/H
are available ever. Just stating this as contrast to dyn TS.
- If a cell has OSMO_DYN timeslots, I *do* want to flag that all TCH/H
are occupied when all dyn timeslots are fully occupied.
- If those OSMO_DYN however are all used as TCH/F, the current total of
TCH/H becomes zero, and it seems like TCH/H should not be considered.
- To count the nr of currently free lchans, I need the currently
possible total of lchans and the nr of occupied lchans.
So return both a maximum total and a current total of lchans. In above
example, the maximum total shows that there would be TCH/H possible.
BTW, it would be nice to keep a chan_counts array on trx, bts and bsc
level and update as channels are allocated and released, instead of
counting them all over periodically. But it's less error prone this way.

Usual allocation mechansim, when some signalling channel is needed,
first tries to reserve an SDCCH, and if all of them are exhausted, then
attempts to reserve a TCH as a last resort.
This, however, may cause TCH starvation under certain situations, for
instance if there high load on other services (LU, SMS, etc.).
Hence, it may be desirable for the operator to forbid reservation
of TCH slots once SDCCH become exhausted. This commit is thus adding a
VTY command which allows forbidding it. The default behavior (allow using
TCH timeslots when SDCCHs are exhausted) is kept as before.
The above mentioned prohibition is applied only to non-voicecall related
signalling services. That's because voicecall services will end up
requiring a TCH anyway, and forbidding reservation of TCH straighaway
when SDCCHs are exhausted would mean no voice calls could be initiated
while still TCHs would be available.

Have bts->interf_meas_params twice: interf_meas_params_cfg for the VTY

BTS actually knows about, after they were sent via OML.
In a running BSC, when changing the interference level boundaries on the
telnet VTY, the BTS is not immediately told about the change. That would
require a BTS restart. Hence store the cfg values separately in
interf_meas_params_cfg. For comparing/printing interference levels in a

Put a (primary) lchan in VAMOS speech mode.
This is not yet about activating shadow lchans, this merely puts any
lchan in a VAMOS capable channel- and speech mode.
Protocol:
In RR Channel Mode Modify, send a spec conforming VAMOS channel mode as
well as an Extended TSC Set, wich adds the TSC Set to the training
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.

Prepare for VAMOS, where there will be secondary "shadow" lchans serving
secondary MS on the same timeslots. For those, RSL messages will need to
reflect a different stream ID aka TEI, via an rsl_link_vamos.
Make sure that every code path that sends an RSL message for a specific
lchan selects the RSL link via the new function rsl_chan_link(). When
VAMOS is implemented, this function can select the proper RSL stream.
Rename gsm_bts_trx.rsl_link to rsl_link_primary. This makes sure I'm not
missing any uses of the RSL link, and clarifies the code.

Firstly, do not store the encoded AMR length-value bits in gsm_lchan->*
before an activation/modify has actually succeeded.
And secondly, do not store the AMR LV structure in struct gsm_lchan at
all, but only generate the TLV exactly when a message is being composed.
In gsm48_multirate_config(), generate the LV directly to a msgb instead
of a static buffer first. gsm0408_test.c expected output verifies that
the generated LV bytes remain unchanged.
In lchan_mr_config(), introduce a target mr_conf argument, so that Chan
Act and Mode Modify may generate the filtered AMR config to different
locations (lchan->{activate,modify}.mr_conf_filtered).
Only after receiving an ACK for Activate/Modify, set
lchan->current_mr_conf from lchan->{activate,modify}.mr_conf_filtered.
Use the properly scoped lchan->activate.mr_conf_filtered for Chan Act,
lchan->modify.mr_conf_filtered for Mode Modify and
new_lchan->current_mr_conf for Handover Command as appropriate.

The GSM48_CMODE_DATA_* rates are completely unused in OsmoBSC anyway,
but there is some code in abis_rsl.c checking its value, and if we were

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.
Related are upcoming patches that sort out the AMR multirate
configuration in a similar fashion, see

From 3GPP TS 48.008 sec 3.1.30 "Common ID":
"""
If the SCCP connection is established due to CSFB from E-UTRAN and the MSC supports
return to the last used PLMN after CS fallback, then it should send the COMMON ID message
to the BSS including the Last used E-UTRAN PLMN ID information element if available at
the MSC immediately following the successful SCCP connection setup.
"""
Furthermore, 3GPP TS 48.008 version 16.0.0 Release 16 "3.2.1.21 CLEAR COMMAND",
for field CSFB Indication, states:
"""
NOTE: This information element doesn't serve any useful purpose. MSCs should not send the
information element unless it is required by the recipients (due to the need to interwork
with older versions of the protocol). It is expected that in future versions of the present
document, this information element will be deleted from this message.
"""
Hence, build up the EUTRAN neighbor list based on whether we received
the Last E-UTRAN PLMN ID IE during Common Id. In the future, we should
probably filter the list while populating it based on the received IE.
This change will also allow reusing same mechanism for SRVCC
EUTRAN->GERAN support, where te Last E-UTRAN PLMN ID IE can be found
inside "Old BSS to New BSS information" IE in msg HANDOVER REQUEST.

It is observed that a CHANnel ReQuireD with access delay
greater than 63 can be received from the Ericsson RBS.
This results in osmo-bsc sending back a CHANnel ACTIVation with
a Timing Advance IE containing the access delay value.
The RBS NACKs this, leading to a BORKEN Channel.
This patch makes the maximum acceptable access delay vty-configurable
and Ignores CHANnel ReQuireD RSL Messages with Access Delay IE greater
than that configured. Default value is 63.

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.

Originally, the lchan stored only the Timing Advance from the initial
channel request, hence it was called rqd_ta.
Since quite a while now, rqd_ta also stores the most recent Timing
Advance from each received Measurement Report. So rename to last_ta.
This is cosmetic preparation for an upcoming patch that clarifies
whether the Timing Advance is already known for Channel Activation.

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.

In order to activate FACCH/SACCH repetition on the BTS, the classmark 3

Repeated ACCH Capability bit the RSL_IE_OSMO_REP_ACCH_CAP is added to

RSL_IE_OSMO_REP_ACCH_CAP is a propritary IE, it may only be added for

when an emergency call arrives while all TCH are busy, the BSC should
pick an arbitrary (preferably the longest lasting) call / lchan and
release it in favor of the incoming emergancy call.
The release of the existing call is a process that can not be done
synchronously while the ChanRQD is handled sonce multiple messages are
exchanged between BTS and MSC and multiple FSMs need to do their work.
To be able to release one lchan while handling a ChanRQD a queue is
implemented in which the incomming channel requests are collected. If
an emergency call is established while all channels are busy, an
arbitrary lchan is picked and freed. When freeing the lchan is done,
the queue is checked again and the emergency call is put on the free
lchan (TCH/H or TCH/F).

osmo-nitb supports the modification of an lchan if the lchan is
compatible but in the wrong mode. This feature was dropped in the
transition to AoIP/bsc-split. However, osmo-bsc still has code to
generate and parse the messeages, but the FSMs do not support a mode
modify yetm
Lets add handling for mode-modify to the lchan_fsm and assignment_fsm in
order to support mode modify again

Currently osmo-bsc encodes the IAR Rest Octets as follows:
IAR Rest Octets
0... .... = Extended RA: Not Present
.0.. .... = Extended RA: Not Present
..1. .... = Extended RA: Present
...0 1011 = Extended_RA: 11
0... .... = Extended RA: Not Present
.L.. .... = Additions in Rel-13: Not Present
Padding Bits: default padding
This is not really critical, but still may look confusing as this
is only relevant for the PS domain (11-bit RA), while osmo-bsc is
responding to a CHANNEL REQUEST in the CS domain.

Place all code related to the object into the related file.
Having all the data model in one file made sense in early stage of
development to make progress quickly, but nowadays it hurts more than
helps, due to constantly growing size and more and more bits being
added to the model, gaining in complexity.
Currently, having lots of different objects mixed up in gsm_data.h is a hole
of despair, where nobody can make any sense were to properly put new stuff
in, ending up with functions related to same object in different files
or with wrong prefixes, declarations of non-existing functions, etc.
because people cannot make up their mind on strict relation to objects
in the data model.
Splitting them in files really helps finding code operating on a
specific object and helping with logically splitting in the future.
