If there's nothing to transmit over a CSD NT channel, both ends generate
NULL frames. Let's add an option to suppress GSMTAP output for those,
creating pcap files with less noise.

In CSD (Circuit Switched Data) NT (Non-Transparent) mode, there
are RLP (Radio Link Protocol) frames inside the modified V.110.
wireshark alrady has a dissector for this, and we've introduced
a GSMTAP type for RLP some time ago. So with this patch, we now
generate such GSMTAP RLP frames.

Osmo-bts uses the new polling based LAPDm implementation.
The OML message NM_ATT_T200 is ignored, because T200 timeouts are set to
the minimal response time. Longer timeouts would cause lower throughput
in case of lost frames. Shorter timeouts would cause LAPDm to fail.

The location of the NCH is defined by the rest octet of System
Information 1. If NCH is defined, the given CCCH blocks are used for NCH
instead of AGCH/PCH.
The current list of VGCS/VBS call notifications is transmitted on the
NCH. If there is no notification, an empty notification is transmitted
on the NCH.
The Notification List Number (NLN) is used to indicated new
notificaitons. Only the last notification (or empty notification)
indicates NLN. This way the MS can determine after two equal NLN that
the complete list has been recevied.

Random access is allowed on VGCS / VBS channels to access the uplink or
to detect listeners. Uplink Access from a listener is only reported once
after activating the channel. Uplink Access from a talker is reported
each time the uplink becomes occupied. RSL TALKER/LISTENER DETECT
messages are sent to the bsc.
The VGCS UPLINK GRANT message is sent by the BTS itself. Timer T3115 is
used to repeat the message up to NY2 times until one valid frame is
received from the MS (CM service request). The UPLINK BUSY / UPLINK FREE
message must be sent by the BSC.
The uplink is released by UPLINK RELEASE message from the MS or from the
BSC. Afterwards the UPLINK FREE message causes the MS to leave the
uplink without any acknowlege. An RSL REL-REQ must be used to terminate
the link locally. (Without layer 2 DISC procedure.)

This adds very minimalistic support for notification of VBS/VGCS calls.
Minimalistic in that we
* only notify via PCH (not via NCH or FACCH)
* only include notification in otherwise empty PAGING TYPE 1
This means that notification will cease to work once the PCH becomes too
loaded and we never would send otherwise empty PAGING TYPE 1 anymore.

Current osmo-bts-trx includes a provision for invoking ECUs from
libosmocodec in the UL path from the channel decoder to the RTP
output. This pre-existing implementation is counter to the spirit
of 3GPP specs (a BTS should merely mark BFI conditions in its UL
output, as opposed to actively modifying the frame stream with an ECU),
inconsistent between different osmo-bts models (only in -trx and no
others), and inconsistent even within osmo-bts-trx itself, where
the link quality check in l1sap will sometimes suppress the output
of the ECU - a quirk which the designers of the current mechanism
most certainly did not intend.
The solution decided upon in OsmoDevCall on 2023-06-21 is to make
this ECU optional per vty config, and move it from the trx model
to the common layer to resolve the inconsistencies. Implement the
first part: make the ECU application optional per vty config.
For backward compatibility with existing deployments, the new
"rtp internal-uplink-ecu" setting is enabled by default on osmo-bts-trx
but not on any other models.

RTP output format to be used for HR1 codec, consistently across

on osmo-bts-{lc15,oc2g,sysmo} and rfc5993 on osmo-bts-trx.
On models where no legacy behavior is applicable, the default is
set to rfc5993 as a forward-looking measure - see OS#6036.

In some environments it is highly desirable for the RTP stream
coming from each GSM call UL on a BTS to be fully continuous,
without any gaps, with _some_ RTP packet emitted every 20 ms,
even if there is no speech or SID frame to be sent in that frame
time window. The present change adds an rtp continuous-streaming
vty option which, when enabled, causes the BTS to emit RTP packets
with a zero-length payload, instead of producing gaps in the RTP
stream, when it has nothing else to send.

reason the BTS has no alternate BSC to connect to. Lets extend the

another during BTS startup.

When the paging queue is filled up to a critical level, pagings from the
PCU should be dropped as each immediate assignment paging from the PCU
is worth 4 normal CS pagings. Also the PCU may still issue pagings if the
paginging queue is already full and CS pagings are dropped. In a
congestion situation it is more important to get the CS rather than PS
pagings through.

The BCCH carrier (sometimes called C0) of a BTS shall maintain
discontinuous Downlink transmission at full power in order to
stay 'visible' to the mobile stations. Because of that, early
versions of 3GPP TS 45.008 prohibited BS power reduction on C0.
However, in the recent 3GPP TS 45.008 there is a feature called
'BCCH carrier power reduction operation'. This is a special
mode of operation, where the variation of RF level for some
timeslots is relaxed for the purpose of energy saving.
In BCCH carrier power reduction operation, for timeslots on the
C0 carrier, except timeslots carrying BCCH/CCCH, the output power
may be lower than the output power used for timeslots carrying
BCCH/CCCH. In this case the maximum allowed difference in output
power actually transmitted by the BTS is 6 dB.
The power reduction operation can be controlled by the BSC by
sending BS POWER CONTROL on the A-bis/RSL with the Channel Number
IE set to 0x80 (RSL_CHAN_BCCH). This makes osmo-bts reduce the
transmission power on inactive timeslots of the BCCH carrier.
This is a non-standard, Osmocom specific extension, so indicate
support of this feature to the BSC in the feature vector. Also
add a VTY command to allow enabling/disabling the power reduction
locally. Add some signalling notes to the A-bis/RSL manual.
For more details, see 3GPP TS 45.008, section 7.1.

This new extension protocol is used to forward Osmocom PCUIF messages
BSC<->BTS<->PCU.
It will be sent re-using the IPA multiplex of the OML link between
BSC and BTS. BTS is responsible for forwarding the message over the unix
socket to the PCU.
PCUIF existing RX path needs to be reworked in order to accept
variable-size messages, in order to be able to transparently forward
messages without knowing about them (the new container message is
variable-length).

lower layer specific APIs require first to enable the TRX object
(GsmL1_PrimId_MphInitReq, which requires ARFCN received during Set
Radio Carrier Attributes) before enabling the per-TS structure.
Hence, OPSTART must happen in RCARRIER MO before OPSTART can be sent to
the Radio Channel MOs, otherwise the initialization of the TS objet will
fail and OPSTART for the RadioChannel MO will send back a NACK.
In order to avoid this, we need to keep the RadioChannel MO announced as

In change [1] the new power control structures and default params
were introduced. In change [2], the existing VTY commands for MS
power control in the BTS were deprecated and changed to use the
new structures as storage. Finally, in change [3], handling of
the power control parameters on the A-bis/RSL was implemented.
This change is the final logical step in the mentioned chain: it
makes both MS/BS power control loops use the new parameters, and
removes the old structures. The actual implementation of both
power control loops remains the same, however the expected output
of some unit tests for the Downlink loop needs to be changed:
- TC_fixed_mode: disabling dynamic power control becomes a separate
step of the test script since the field 'fixed' is removed;
- TC_rxlev_target: RxLev thresholds are printed 'as-is'.
Not all of the new parameters are used by the power control loops
yet. Further improvements to be done in the follow up commits.

For the sake of simplicity, the old structures that are still used
by MS/BS power control loops are kept in place. Migration to the
new structures requires additional changes to the existing power
control logic, so it will be done in the follow-up changes.
The new parameters are integrated as follows:
+ struct gsm_bts - a BTS instance:
| Hard-coded default (fall-back) parameters for all transceivers.
|
+-+-> struct gsm_bts_trx - a TRX instance (transceiver):
| Default parameters for all logical channels inherited from
| 'struct gsm_bts' at start-up. May be overwritten by the
| BSC using ip.access specific 'Measurement Pre-processing
| Defaults' message on the A-bis/RSL interface.
|
+---> struct gsm_lchan - a logical channel (e.g. TCH or SDCCH):
Connection specific parameters inherited from 'struct
gsm_bts_trx'. May be overwritten by parameters sent
by the BSC in CHANnel ACTIVation and other messages.
