This library is intended to collect all generic/common funcitionality
of all Osmocom.org projects, including OpenBSC but also OsmocomBB
The library currently includes the following modules:
bitvec, comp128, gsm_utils, msgb, select, signal, statistics, talloc, timer,
tlv_parse, linuxlist
msgb allocation error debugging had to be temporarily disabled as it depends on
'debug.c' functionality which at the moment remains in OpenBSC
With this commit, we can successfully hand over a channel from one cell to
another cell. We implement asynchronous intra-BSC (but inter-BTS) handover.
Changes:
* introduce new DHO log category
* extend rsl_chan_activate_lchan() with argument for HO reference
* introduce actual minimal handover decision making in handover_decision.c
* various fixes to bsc_handover_start() in handover_logic.c
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).
If we have a dynamic TCH/F / PDCH channel configuration, then
we can either ACTIVATE CHANNEL it for a TCH/F, or we need to send
this vendor-specific PDCH ACTIVATE command to use it as a PDCH.
As opposed to a fixed configuration, this allows an intelligent
BSC channel allocator to use otherwise idle channels as PDCH
as long as no more TCH's are needed.
This just adds the 04.08 and RSL bits for A5, but not the logic
for performing authentication.
The caller would first set lchan->encr and then call
gsm48_send_rr_ciph_mode(lchan), which encapsulates the 04.08
CIPHERING MODE COMMAND into a RSL ENCRYPTION COMMAND and sends it
to the BTS for execution + forwarding.
A caller can call rll_establish(lchan, link_id) and a callback to the GSM RLL
code. He will get called back if the RLL link is established or receives some
error message, or the establishment times out.
We need this for proper SMS implementation, where we need to restablish a SAPI3
RLL link before transmitting the actual CP-DATA messages.
So far, we immediately disable the RF channel without following a proper
RLL RELEASE procedure. This patch changes this.
If we locally terminate the connection, the channel allocator now triggers a
RLL RELEASE REQuest, which is responsed by the MS with a RLL RELEASE CONFirm,
based on which we send the RF CHANnel RELease to the BTS.
If the MS terminates the connection, we receive a RLL RELEASE INDication,
based on which we trigger RF CHANnel RELease to the BTS.
* we only need one piece of code to calculate rsl_ie_chan_mode from
our run-time data structures (gsm_lchan)
* add some more channel modes for TCH/H and data
* use enum's to make the compiler warn us about unhandled enum values
* make sure the caller determines the (signalling,speech,data) mode
* add bts->band field plus corresponding VTY and commandline argument
* add trx->nominal_power and trx->max_power_red fields
* add rsl_chan_bs_power_ctrl() to control TRX RF power for a given TS
* add rsl_chan_ms_power_ctrl() to control MS RF power for a given lchan.
