Currently the channel combination II is used for TCH/H, which
allows only one lchan to be allocated. The reason is that it
saves a bit of CPU by disabling UL burst detection on lchan 1.
There is also the channel combination III, which allows to
increase channel capacity, providing two lchans on a single
TCH/H timeslot.
Ideally we should implement some dynamic II <-> III switching
depending on the network load level. But for now this change
replaces the channel combination of TCH/H by III, until dynamic
switching is implemented.

Originally `maxdly` command in osmo-trx was contrlling max TA for Normal Bursts.
This was not a proper behaviour, because it was used to "control maximum
distance a handset can attach from" which is controlled by Access Bursts max TA.
Osmo-trx was corrected to apply `maxdly` to Access Bursts and a new command was
introduced to contrl max TA for Normal Bursts - `maxdlynb`. This patch adds
support for this configuration command into osmo-bts-trx.
If you wonder why would you need that - some test equipment (namely R&S CMD57)
has really bad timing sync and can generate signal a few symbols off. That
prevents osmo-trx from properly receiving otherwise perfectly good bursts
generated by CMD57. This configuration is a solution for this.

Existing interfaces are coded with the implicit expectation of using
a burst sequence length of 148, which is constant with GSM and GPRS.
That changes with EGPRS, where the burst length may be 444 due to
the use of 8-PSK instead of GMSK modulation.
Setup the interface to accept and return a length value with the
burst sequence. This allows 444 length bit vectors to/from the
EGPRS decoder/encoder. Length is explicitly used as a identifier for
8-PSK vs. GMSK modulated sequences.

When receiving an OPSTART for the BTS object, also set the availability state
to OK.
Before, the availability would remain at NM_AVSTATE_DEPENDENCY, which caused an
unfortunate chain reaction resulting in osmo-bts-trx going through the
initialization sequence twice:
BTS BSC
|<-----| SITE_MANAGER OPSTART
n |----->| BTS state change: OPSTATE_DISABLED, AVSTATE_DEPENDENCY
o | | This signals to nm_statechg_event() in bts_ipaccess_nanobts.c
r | | to (a) Set BTS Attributes and (b) send BTS OPSTART
m |<-----| Set BTS Attributes (a)
a | | When osmo-bts-trx receives a Set BTS Attributes, it sends
l |----->| CHANNEL state change: OPSTATE_DISABLED x8
| | This signals the BSC to Set CHANNEL Attributes and OPSTART
i |<-----| Set CHANNEL Attributes x8
n |<-----| CHANNEL OPSTART x8
i |----->| CHANNEL state change: OPSTATE_ENABLED, AVSTATE_OK x8
t | |
|<-----| BTS OPSTART (b)
| | osmo-bts-trx immediately replies with:
|----->| BTS state change: OPSTATE_ENABLED, AVSTATE_DEPENDENCY
| | Unfortunately, availability is left at DEPENDENCY,
| | and the NM_OC_BTS case in nm_statechg_event() only
| | checks for availability, not for the opstate.
| | Hence nm_statechg_event() again feels inclined to
| | to (a) Set BTS Attributes and (b) send BTS OPSTART,
| |
--+------+----- This is where the second round starts
| |
s |<-----| Set BTS Attributes (a)
e | | When osmo-bts-trx receives a Set BTS Attributes, it sends
c |----->| CHANNEL state change: OPSTATE_DISABLED x8
o | | All channels are disabled again, and then re-launched:
n |<-----| Set CHANNEL Attributes x8
d |<-----| CHANNEL OPSTART x8
|----->| CHANNEL state change: OPSTATE_ENABLED, AVSTATE_OK x8
| |
i |<-----| BTS OPSTART (b)
n | | osmo-bts-trx again sets the OPSTATE_ENABLED, but since
i | | this time it was already enabled, no further state change
t | | is sent back to the BSC.
This nightmare pivots on two hinges:
1. osmo-bts-trx fails to set BTS availability to AVSTATE_OK.
2. nm_statechg_event() fails to heed the OPSTATE_ENABLED of the BTS state
change.
Note, the configured channels from the first round were not actually taken
down, only the OML OPSTATE_DISABLED were sent.
In this commit, fix the osmo-bts-trx side: send AVSTATE_OK for the BTS object
upon sending OPSTATE_ENABLED, so that only the part marked "normal init" above
is run.
This change applies the same fix to other OML objects, which should make sense
in the same manner, within the current hackish OML implementation:
* NM_OC_BTS
* NM_OC_SITE_MANAGER
* NM_OC_BASEB_TRANSC
* NM_OC_GPRS_NSE
* NM_OC_GPRS_CELL
* NM_OC_GPRS_NSVC
This means that the NM_OC_CHANNEL case just above is identical, and thus
collapse NM_OC_CHANNEL onto the other cases. Drop the comments from
NM_OC_CHANNEL since they merely rephrase the commands themselves.

Previously osmo-bts-octphy have not provided in-band presence
information which cause off-by-one errors and misinterpretation of
ph_data_ind by PCU. This fixed now by adding support for explicitly

of presence information are removed.
Note: this requires libosmocore version with osmo_ph_pres_info_type

the backend is performing the actual encoding and decoding functions,
while the generic part constsits of the TDMA structures and generating
the RTS.ind
The L1 scheduler is a generally useful component that is unfortunately
tied quite a bit into the OsmoTRX support. Let's try to separate it out
by having separate per-trx/per-ts/per-chan data structures pre-fixed
with l1sched_
Using this patch it should be one step easier to use the scheduler for
other BTS models, such as the intended upcoming virtual BTS.
OpenBSC introduced a naming change in
615ed46a6ab25f71a7ab0d8201d33b4dbf8fc5b0 but osmo-bts fixes were only
about osmo-bts-sysmo, not osmo-bts-trx. This updates osmo-bts-trx
accordingly.
A known issue with this code is that BER is not updated for lost TCH frames,
because osmo-trx doesn't send any indication for them and we don't have
a callback to handle this.
Otherwise the code seem to work fine.
3GPP TS 05.03 "Channel coding" specifies the puncturing matrix (1,0,1)
for class 1 information bits and tail bits valued u(0) to u(103) for a
maximum puncturing index of 311. The puncturing index 313 exceeds the
maximum index and causes osmo_conv_get_output_length() to output the
improper length of 210 instead of 211.

If frame number is out of range (>= 2715648), the scheduler's process
would end up in an infinite loop. This is because the loop would schedule
bursts until the indicated frame number is reached, which would not be
possible.
The openbts, calypso-bts and osmo-trx might send out out of range clock
indications every 3.5 hour.
RTS (ready-to-send) must be issued in advance, so BTS core and especially
osmo-pcu can provide downlink data frames early enough. In some cases PCU
might provide frames too late, so they must be dropped. If PCU provides
frames too late, due to high system load, this "RTS advance" setting must
be increased.
Instead of limiting the number of TRX at VTY to the actual number of
supported TRX, VTY allows to configure any possible number of TRX. If a
TRX is configured, which is not supported by BTS model, an error message is
returned, which states that the given TRX is not supported.
Handover and assignment may activate channels with ciphering already set,
so we need to tell scheduler to enable/disable ciphering and set the
correct cipher state.
Only if transceiver becomes available, control commands are sent. If
tranceiver is gone, reset scheduler.
The current availability state is sent to BSC via OML state change
commands.
