Similar to bts_vty_init(), BTS specific bts_model_vty_init()
requires a pointer to 'struct gsm_bts'. Not only it's used
as a parent talloc context, but also stored locally, so then
it can be used by some VTY commands.
Let's expose the global 'struct gsm_bts' from main, and pass
the application's talloc context like was done in [1].
This finally makes the BTS model specific options appear in
the automatically generated VTY reference (--vty-ref-xml).

All the Operative State logic to manage a RadioCarrier//BBTransc NM objects is
centralized in these FSM, where other parts of the code simply send
events to it.
This allows keeping state consistent and offloading logic from each bts
backend, since they are only required to submit events now.
The idea in the long run is to also replace other NM objects with
similar FSMs.
This improved logic fixes bug where PHY + RSL link became available before
OPSTART and hence op state changed to Enabled before receiving any OPSTART message.

This fixes old behavior mimicing broken behavior in nanoBTS (according to TS 12.21)
where BTS Site Mgr NM object was announced as Enabled despite no OPSTART

With this new FSM, BTS SiteManager will be announced as Disabled Offline
during OML startup conversation, instead of Enabled.
The new osmo-bsc OML management FSMs use this change in behavior to find
out whether it should use the old broken management states (without
Offline state, as per nanoBTS) or use the new state transitions (which
allow fixing several race conditions).

Recently we've introduced EWMA based uplink power filtering, that
should reduce Uplink power oscillations. However, the power loop
is still quite sensitive to small deviations from the target power
level: even such an insignificant deviation like 2-5 dBm triggers
the loop to increase or decrease the MS power level. Even if the
EWMA based filtering is enabled with 80% smoothing (alpha = 0.2).
This change introduces a new configuration parameter - 'hysteresis':
uplink-power-target <-110-0> hysteresis <1-25>
that together with the 'uplink-power-target' defines a range:
[target - hysteresis .. target + hysteresis]
in which the MS power loop would not trigger any power changes.
This feature is now *enabled* by default, so given that:
- default 'uplink-power-target' is -75 dBm, and
- default 'hysteresis' is 3 dBm,
the default target Uplink power range is: -78 dBm ... -72 dBm.

So far the Uplink power control loop did not filter the Uplink RSSI
measurements (reported by the BTS) at all. The lack of filtering
makes our implementation too quick on the trigger, so in the real
deployments there will be unneeded Tx power oscillations.
In order to reduce this effect, let's implement a very simple EWMA
(also known as Single Pole IIR) filtering that is defined as follows:
Avg[n] = a * Pwr[n] + (1 - a) * Avg[n - 1]
where parameter 'a' determines how much weight of the latest UL RSSI
measurement result 'Pwr[n]' carries vs the weight of the average
'Avg[n - 1]'. The value of 'a' is usually a float in range 0 .. 1, so:
- value 0.5 gives equal weight to both 'Pwr[n]' and 'Avg[n - 1]';
- value 1.0 means no filtering at all (pass through);
- value 0.0 makes no sense.
This formula was further optimized with the use of '+=' operator.
The floating point math was also eliminated by scaling everything
up (by 100). For more details, see:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moving_averagehttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Low-pass_filter#Simple_infinite_impulse_response_filterhttps://tomroelandts.com/articles/low-pass-single-pole-iir-filter
The EWMA filtering is now *enabled by default*, but can be disabled
or (re-)configured over the VTY at any time:
! Completely disable filtering
no uplink-power-filtering
! Enable EWMA smoothing with the given parameters
uplink-power-filtering algo ewma beta <1-99>
Note that the VTY command expects 'beta' instead of 'alpha':
alpha = (100 - beta)
and the value must be in %. This is done for simplicity:
1% means lowest smoothing,
99% means highest smoothing.
Let's say we have EWMA filtering enabled with alpha = 0.4, and get
-98 dBm on the input, while the last output value was -60 dBm.
The new output would be:
Avg[n] = 0.4 * Pwr[n] + 0.6 * Avg[n - 1]
Avg[n] = (0.4 * -98) + (0.6 * -60)
Avg[n] = -75.2 => around -75
Of course, this is not a silver bullet, but better than nothing.

Operative state is mainly maintained based on 2 requirements:
* phy_link being in CONNECTED state
* RSL connection being up and ready
However, state change report triggered over OMl towards BSC was only
done upon the first event of the two. That means that if for whatever
reason the RSL connection was established AFTER the phy_link became
CONNECTED (ie receiving RSP POWERON in osmo-bts-trx), then the status
towards the BSC would not be updated and hence the BSC would still see
the Radio Carrier object as DISABLED.
The trx_set_available() function is renamed to trx_operability_update()
to keep the logic conditions in one place, and different events
triggering a change in state simply call the function and let it handle
the new state.

The idea behind the baseband frequency hopping is quite simple: we
have several RF carriers (transceivers) transmitting and receiving
on fixed frequencies (just like in a regular multi-trx setup), and
an additional burst routing layer between the schedulear and the
transceiver interface (TRXD over UDP).
Speaking in terms of the proposed implementation:
- on Downlink, dlfh_route_br() calculates the ARFCN corresponding
to the current TDMA frame number according to the hopping sequence
parametets, and picks the transceiver with matching ARFCN;
- on Uplink, ulfh_route_bi() iterates over the transceiver list of
of the BTS, calculating hopping ARFCNs for equivalent timeslots,
and picks the one with ARFCN matching the received burst.
In order to avoid frequent transceiver lookups on the Downlink path,
dlfh_route_br() maintains a "cache" in the timeslot state structure.
Unfortunately, this "cache" seems to be useless on the Uplink path,
so ulfh_route_bi() always needs to lookup the matching transceiver
for each burst received over the TRXD interface.
It may also happen that the scheduler will be unable to route an
Uplink or Downlink burst, e.g. due to inconsistent / incorrect
hopping sequence parameters received from the BSC, or in case
if a transceiver gets RF-locked by the BTS operator.
Such events are logged as "FATAL" and aditionally signalled by the
following osmo-bts-trx specific rate counters:
- trx_sched:dl_fh_no_carrier (Downlink), and
- trx_sched:ul_fh_no_carrier (Uplink).

This change facilitates the upcoming freq. hopping implementation,
in particular scheduling of dummy bursts on C0 with hopping time-
slots. One problem is that we cannot know in advance, whether to
send a dummy burst on a given timeslot unless all transceivers are
processed. For example, trx#3 may want to send a normal burst on
ARFCN of trx#0 (C0), while we have already sent a dummy burst...
Another important aspect is that we shall not be sending dummy
bursts on transceivers other than C0. Scheduling dummy bursts
from _sched_dl_burst() in the context of a single hopping timeslot
of a single transceiver leaves trx_sched_fn() no way to know
whether it's a dummy burst or something else.
Let's solve both problems by moving dummy burst scheduling logic
from _sched_dl_burst() to trx_sched_fn(). Maintain C0 slot-mask
in the inner (per-trx) loop, so that we can fill missing bursts
with dummy bursts afterwards.

It was a very bad idea to mix "public" BTS features, that are
reported to the BSC via OML, and those features, that are used
locally (and exclusively) in osmo-bts.
Why? At least because we already have the BTS feature manipulation
API in libosmocore, that is used by osmo-bsc, but for some reason
not by osmo-bts. New features added to libosmocore would clash
with the existing "internal" ones like BTS_FEAT_MS_PWR_CTRL_DSP.
So what this change does can be described as follows:
- remove duplicate definition of the "public" features,
- use libosmocore's API for the "public" features,
- separate both "internal" and "public" features:
- the "public" features continue to live in bitvec,
- the "internal" features become flags,
- s/BTS_FEAT/BTS_INTERNAL_FLAG/g.

The function ts45008_83_is_sub rougly decides if a frame is a SUB frame
or not. This works by checking the frame number against against lookup
tables. This works fine for codecs where the occurrence of SUB frames is
fixed. However for AMR this is not the case as the DTX periods are
dynamic. Here it is the responsibility of the lower layers (phy,
frame decoding) to tag SUB frames early since making the decision later
based on the frame number is not possible.

When a NOPE indication is received from the TRX normally a separate

remove the .nope_fn member and call the Uplink handler directly.
Since a NOPE.ind comes without burst bits, the Uplink handlers must

osmo-bts currently does not generate a measurement report in case the

bumping the protocol version, because every single PDU has a
fixed size defined by the largest message - INFO.ind. In case
if the actual message payload is smaller, the rest is filled
with a constant padding byte (0x00).
Older versions of OsmoPCU will consider the new fields as padding,
while the messages from older OsmoBTS versions will always have
both fields set to 0x00. Since C0/TS0 cannot be configured to
PDCH, this can be easily detected on the other end.

Use instead the received MS Power currently in use by the MS matching
the measured signal. This way there's no need to wait for the MS to
reach the announced MS power level or add checks in case the MS doesn't
support that specific power level. Furthermore, more fine grained
announced power level value can be obtained faster due to more input
iterations not being dropped while waiting.
osmo-bts-trx specific algo was not following this approach and using
announced MS power instead because it's wowrking at a lower level and
henche was not using the transmitted MS Power level value by the MS as
input for the calculation.
The "if (diff < 2 && diff > -2))" condition is dropped since equal
signal strength may still result in a different MS power level announced
(the one currently used by the MS during tx of last SACCH block).

that will be called when a NOPE / IDLE indication is received from
the transceiver. The aim of that handler is to keep the logical

It indicates whether BTS model supports managing an MS Power Control
Loop over HW/DSP instead of using the software based osmocom algorithm
present in osmo-bts.
osmo-bts-trx own loop implementation is considered to be a "DSP/HW" one
since it acts on lower layers and interferes with osmocom algorithm
since it controls the same end variable "lchan->ms_power_ctrl.current",
this way we make sure both aren't enabled at the same time.
Old behavior in kept: if common upper-layer algo is not enabled
explicitly in VTY (ms-power-control osmo) and bts-trx specific lower
layer algo is neither enabled (osmotrx ms-power-loop <xyz>), then no
power control is done at all.

Before this patch, if due to whatever reason the TRX started fine (RSP
POWERON 0) and sockets were created but no CLOCK IND was ever received
by the BTS, it wouldn't notice since the timerfd timeouts
(bts_shutdown("no clock")) are only checked after the first CLOCK IND is
sent by the TRX.
As a result, the BTS would be kept on forever saying everything is fine
but it would be sending no DL burst at all to the TRX (tested with a
modfied osmo-trx dropping clock indication).
With this patch, new APIs are added to indicate the scheduler_trx code
the timeframes where clock ind are expected (between RSP POWERON 0 and
RSP POWEROFF 0); if TRX sends clock indications out of that timeframe,
BTs lower layers will drop them (controlled by "powered" bool).
Hence, the scheduler_trx can now place a timeout (reusing same timerfd
because its new use is exclusive in time with its other previous use)
when it is told that CLOCK IND should start appearing, and if none
arrives in considerable time, then the BTS can be shut down to notify
the rest of the network.

Add a new common L1 SAPI enum, to unify all the BTS specific SAPIs.
Translate to this enum, and set the context for uplink messages in
each BTS specific implementation.
Set the context for downlink messages in the common l1sap code, by
converting the osmo_phsap_prim back to the SAPI value (mostly looking at
chan_nr). The new functions for doing this conversion,
get_common_sapi_by_trx_prim() and get_common_sapi_ph_data(), are based
on the existing to_gsmtap() and gsmtap_ph_data() functions.
Note that we can't set the uplink SAPI context in the common code,
because then we can't set it as early as possible. In this patch, the
SAPI context is set for the PHYs where the SAPI is readily available.
With additional conversion from the RSL channel, the SAPI context could
be set for osmo-bts-trx in a follow up patch.

Use of variables in each code is confusing and mixing configuration with

since those commands are only expected on the 1st phy inst).
* field "poweron" becomes "enabled", and is used as an indicator for
actions to take during TRX provisioning (hether to power it on and
configure it or to power it off).
* poweron/poweroff state becomes "powered", and it is shared by all trx
in same phy_link, and is updated only after confirmation by TRX.
* poweron_set becomes poweronoff_set (because it's used by both POWERON

those CMDs are usually sent by first phy instance of the link (the first

Currently there's bts-virtual specific fields in gsm_bts which is not used

An alternative would be having a union with different structs inside,
one per model, but since we already have the bts_model abstraction, in this

with preprocessor ifdefs to guard against non-defined types, etc.

According to 3GPP TS 45.010, section 5.6.2, for packet-switched
channels the BTS shall monitor the delay of the Access Bursts
sent by the MS on PTCCH and respond with timing advance values
for all MS performing the procedure on that PDCH.
According to 3GPP TS 45.002, section 3.3.4.2, PTCCH (Packet Timing
advance control channel) is a packet dedicated channel, that is
used for continuous Timing Advance control (mentioned above).
There are two sub-types of that logical channel:
- PTCCH/U (Uplink): used to transmit random Access Bursts
to allow estimation of the Timing Advance for one MS in
packet transfer mode.
- PTCCH/D (Downlink): used by the network to transmit
Timing Advance updates for several MS.
As per 3GPP TS 45.003, section 5.2, the coding scheme used for
PTCCH/U is the same as for PRACH as specified in subclause 5.3,
while the coding scheme used for PTCCH/D is the same as for
CS-1 as specified in subclause 5.1.1.
The way we used to handle both PTCCH/U and PTCCH/D is absolutely
wrong - they have nothing to do with xCCH coding. Instead, we
need to use tx_pdtch_fn() for Downlink and rx_rach_fn() for Uplink.
In l1sap_ph_rach_ind() we need to check if an Access Burst was
received on PTCCH/U and forward it to OsmoPCU with proper SAPI
value (PCU_IF_SAPI_PTCCH). To be able to specify a SAPI, a new
parameter is introduced to pcu_tx_rach_ind().

This command allows setting a maximum TRXD format version to negotiate
with TRX. osmo-bts-trx will hence end up using that version if supported
by TRX, or a lower one otherwise (or fail if TRX doesn't support any of
them).
Since now the maximum version can be 0, avoid going through SETFORMAT
negotiation in that case, since 0 is the default version. This way we
keep backward compatibility with TRX implementations that exit upon
receival of unknown commands (such as SC5 current one).
The VTY command is located in the "phy" node instead of the "phy
instance" node because instances of same phy are expected to use same
host with same implementation, so TRXD version to use should be the same
for both.

The radio link quality is defined by C/I (Carrier-to-Interference
ratio), which is computed from the training sequence of each
received burst, by comparing the "ideal" training sequence with
the actual (received) one.
Link quality measurements are used by L1SAP to filter out "ghost"
Access Bursts, and by the link quality adaptation algorithms. One
can define minimum link quality values using the VTY interface.
On the VTY interface we expect integer C/I values in centiBels
(cB, 10e-2 B), while the internal structures are using float
values in deciBels (dB, 10e-1 B). Some PHYs (sysmo, octphy,
oc2g, and litecell15) expose C/I measurements in deciBels,
while on the L1SAP interface we finally send then in centiBels.
Let's avoid this confusion and stick to a single format, that
will be used by the internal logic of OsmoBTS - integer values
(int16_t) in centiBels. This will give us the range of:
-32768 .. 32767 centiBels, or
-3276.8 .. 3276.7 deciBels,
which is certainly sufficient.

The new version adds the following fields to the TRX2L1 message,
keeping the L12TRX message unchanged:
+------+-----+-----+-----+--------------------+
| RSSI | ToA | MTS | C/I | soft-bits (254..0) |
+------+-----+-----+-----+--------------------+
- MTS (1 octet) - Modulation and Training Sequence info, and
- C/I (2 octets) - Carrier-to-Interference ratio (big endian).
== Coding of MTS: Modulation and Training Sequence info
3GPP TS 45.002 version 15.1.0 defines several modulation types,
and a few sets of training sequences for each type. The most
common are GMSK and 8-PSK (which is used in EDGE).
+-----------------+---------------------------------------+
| 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 0 | bit numbers (value range) |
+-----------------+---------------------------------------+
| . . . . . X X X | Training Sequence Code (0..7) |
+-----------------+---------------------------------------+
| . X X X X . . . | Modulation, TS set number (see below) |
+-----------------+---------------------------------------+
| X . . . . . . . | IDLE / nope frame indication (0 or 1) |
+-----------------+---------------------------------------+
The bit number 7 (MSB) is set to high when either nothing has been
detected, or during IDLE frames, so we can deliver noise levels,
and avoid clock gaps on the L1 side. Other bits are ignored,
and should be set to low (0) in this case.
== Coding of modulation and TS set number
GMSK has 4 sets of training sequences (see tables 5.2.3a-d),
while 8-PSK (see tables 5.2.3f-g) and the others have 2 sets.
Access and Synchronization bursts also have several synch.
sequences.
+-----------------+---------------------------------------+
| 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 0 | bit numbers (value range) |
+-----------------+---------------------------------------+
| . 0 0 X X . . . | GMSK, 4 TS sets (0..3) |
+-----------------+---------------------------------------+
| . 0 1 0 X . . . | 8-PSK, 2 TS sets (0..1) |
+-----------------+---------------------------------------+
| . 0 1 1 X . . . | AQPSK, 2 TS sets (0..1) |
+-----------------+---------------------------------------+
| . 1 0 0 X . . . | 16QAM, 2 TS sets (0..1) |
+-----------------+---------------------------------------+
| . 1 0 1 X . . . | 32QAM, 2 TS sets (0..1) |
+-----------------+---------------------------------------+
| . 1 1 1 X . . . | RESERVED (0) |
+-----------------+---------------------------------------+
== C/I: Carrier-to-Interference ratio
The C/I value is computed from the training sequence of each burst,
where we can compare the "ideal" training sequence with the actual
training sequence, and then express that difference in centiBels.
== Limitations
- The only supported modulation types are GMSK and 8-PSK.
Messages with other modulation types will be rejected.
- IDLE / NOPE indications are not (yet) handled.
- The logical channel handlers do not (yet) handle optional
fields, such as TSC and C/I. This will be implemented
in the follow-up changes.

It may be necessary to extend the message specific header with
more information. Since this is not a TLV-based protocol, we
need to include the header format version.
+-----------------+---------------------------+
| 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 0 | bit numbers (value range) |
+-----------------+---------------------------+
| X X X X . . . . | header version (0..15) |
+-----------------+---------------------------+
| . . . . . X X X | TDMA TN (0..7) |
+-----------------+---------------------------+
| . . . . X . . . | RESERVED (0) |
+-----------------+---------------------------+
Instead of prepending an additional byte, it was decided to use
4 MSB bits of the first octet, which used to be zero-initialized
due to the value range of TDMA TN (0..7). Therefore the current
header format has implicit version 0.
Otherwise Wireshark (or trx_sniff.py) would have to guess the
header version, or alternatively follow the control channel
looking for the version setting command.
This change introduces a new structure 'trx_ul_burst_ind', which
represents an Uplink burst and the corresponding meta info. The
purpose of this structure is to avoid overloading the existing
functions, such as trx_sched_ul_burst(), with more and more
arguments every time we bump the version.
On receipt of a TRXD message, trx_data_read_cb() now parses
the header version, and calls the corresponding dissector
functions, e.g. trx_data_handle_(hdr|burst)_v0().

meanwhile have gsm_lchan_name() and should use it to log messages
related to this lchan in a common format.
This commit introduces the LOGPLCHAN() helper macro [similar to
osmo-bsc], and uses it from loops.c.
As a result, some functions don't need a chan_nr argument anymore,
while some need to add a new lchan argument.

This commit doesn't change internal logic of any model, only the API to
be able to return result of connect TS asyncrhonously since some models
(like osmo-bts-trx) require some time to process the result. This way
PDCH ACT/DEACT (N)ACK can be sent once the result of this long process
is known. For instance, nowadays in osmo-bts-trx we PDCH (DE)ACT ACK
before getting the result from SETSLOT on the TRX iface.
With this new API, bts_model_ts_connect doesn't return any value
synchronously. Instead, it is expected to always end up calling
cb_ts_connected with the return code from the TS activation process. 0
is considered a successs, while any other value is considered an error.

No need to pass -t num_trx anymore to specify number of TRX to use. It
is calculated based on dynamic allocation from VTY config.
Using parameter -t is flagged as deprecated and is transformed into a
NOOP por backward compatibility.
As a result, TRX now are allocated after the BTS is allocated and
initial config (pre-VTY) is applied.
A new function bts_trx_init() is added, to set default config on each
TRX during allocation and before setting VTY config on it.
A new per BTS model function bts_model_trx_init() is added, to allow
per model specific default configuration of each TRX.

This change modifies the logic of TDMA frame loss tracking. To
be more precise, the tracking logic was moved from per timeslot
level to per logical channel level, what makes OsmoBTS more
accurate in its measurements.
But before getting into details, it's important to clarify some
things about the Uplink burst processing in transceiver (OsmoTRX).
If an Uplink burst is detected, OsmoTRX demodulates it and sends
to OsmoBTS. If nothing is detected on a particular timeslot,
OsmoTRX will do nothing. In other words, it will not
notify OsmoBTS about this.
Meanwhile, there are usually a few logical channels mapped to a
single TDMA timeslot. Let's use SDCCH8 channel configuration as
an example (simplified layout):
/* SDCCH/8 (ss=0), subscriber A (active) */
{ TRXC_SDCCH8_0, bid=0 },
{ TRXC_SDCCH8_0, bid=1 },
{ TRXC_SDCCH8_0, bid=2 },
{ TRXC_SDCCH8_0, bid=3 }, // <-- last_fn=X
/* SDCCH/8 (ss=1), subscriber B (inactive) */
{ TRXC_SDCCH8_1, bid=0 },
{ TRXC_SDCCH8_1, bid=1 },
{ TRXC_SDCCH8_1, bid=2 },
{ TRXC_SDCCH8_1, bid=3 },
/* SDCCH/8 (ss=2), subscriber C (active) */
{ TRXC_SDCCH8_2, bid=0 }, // <-- current_fn=X+5
{ TRXC_SDCCH8_2, bid=1 },
{ TRXC_SDCCH8_2, bid=2 },
{ TRXC_SDCCH8_2, bid=3 },
SDCCH8 has 8 sub-slots, so up to 8 subscribers can use a single
timeslot. Let's imagine there are three subscribers: A, B, and C.
Both A and C are active subscribers, i.e. they are continuously
transmitting UL bursts, while B is not using ss=1 anymore.
The original way of TDMA frame loss tracking was the following:
- when an UL burst is received, store it's frame number in
the timeslot state structure (last_fn);
- when the next UL burst is received on same timeslot, compute
how many frames elapsed since the last_fn;
- if elapsed = (current_fn - last_fn) is lower than 10, then
iterate from (last_fn + 1) until the current_fn and send
dummy zero-filled bursts to the higher layers;
- otherwise (elapsed > 10), process the current burst,
and do nothing :/
According to our example, subscriber A is sending 4 bursts, then
nobody is sending anything, and then subscriber C is sending
4 bursts. So, there is a 4 frames long gap between the both
transmissions, which is being substituted by dummy bursts. But,
as the logical channel on ss=1 is not active, they are dropped.
This is not that scary, but the current algorithm produces lots
of false-positives, and moreover is not able to track real frame
drops in longer periods (i.e. >10). So, tracking the frame loss
per individual logical channels makes much more sense.
Let's finally drop this hackish 'while (42) { ... }', and track
the amount of lost / received TDMA frames (bursts) individually
per logical channels. Let's also use the multiframe period as
the loss detection period, instead of hardcoded 10. And finally,
let's print more informative debug messages.
Also, it makes sense to use the amount of lost / received bursts
during the calculation of the measurement reports, instead of
sending dummy bursts, but let's do this separately.

The existing implementation used a simplistic macro, which was wrong
in many ways:
1) it returned a negative value for "fn % 51 < 5" conditions without
raising any error message or asserting
2) it returned a wrong block number for many different input frame
numbers, as it didn't account properly for the FCCH/SCH gaps between
the blocks
Let's replace the simplistic macro with a proper lookup table based on
TS 05.02, and let's OSMO_ASSERT() if this is ever called with non-CCCH
frame numbers.

The function is_meas_overdue() was introduced to allow
lchan_meas_process_measurement() to detect when the end of a measurement
interval has been missed. Interval ends may be missed when the SACCH
block of the related measurement interval gets lost. This is due to the
fact that the SACCH block is used as a trigger to start the measurement
result computation.
The idea behind is_meas_overdue() was to check the frame number of the
current measurement against the frame number of the previous measurement
in order to see if there was a measurement for SACCH in between or not.
Unfortunately SACCH and TCH Voice data is not necessarly processed in
order by each phy. Depending on the phy there may be a jitter between
the timing of SACCH and TCH Voice. Depending on the phy this jitter may
be enough to mess up the timing so that we see a SACCH block earlier
than expected. So we can not use the current frame number of TCH Voice
measurements to check for missed SACCH blocks.

the measurement interval end is detected by using the measurement
indication that is related to the SACCH block as a trigger to start the
computation. If the measurement indication for the SACCH gets lost
because the block could not be received then the processing is not
executed. This may cause wrong results or when it happens condecutively
an overflow of the measurement sample buffer.
- Store the frame number of the last received measurement indication
- Use the stored frame number to check if an interval was crossed when
the next measurement indication is received. If we detect that we
missed the interval, catch up by running the computation and
start the next interval.
