Do not assume that 1 == BS_AG_BLKS_RES but take that information from
SI3. Note: due to current implementation quirks we activate channels
before SI3 obtained, than we deactivate channels upon receiving SI3 and
activate them again. This might not be necessary once we migrate to
proper OML state machines.
This affects lc15 and sysmo hw.

Commit "sysmo,lc15: ts_connect_as(): log error also for pchan_as == TCH/F_PDCH"
introduced a check for TCH/F_PDCH intended only for TCH/F_TCH/H_PDCH. It looked
correct, but TCH/F_PDCH startup was designed differently:
For TCH/F_PDCH, the idea was to look it up in pchan_to_logChComb[] and obtain
the TCH/F channel combination, so that TCH/F_PDCH first initialize as TCH/F.
So pchan was in fact intended to be passed as TCH/F_PDCH.
For Osmocom TCH/F_TCH/H_PDCH, we've in the meantime added a ts_opstart()
function that makes this decision explicitly. So, instead of reverting the
erratic commit, add TCH/F_PDCH to ts_opstart(), for both sysmo and lc15.
In ts_opstart(), move to a switch statement to resolve the actual pchan to use
for ts_connect_as().
Drop TCH/F_PDCH and TCH/F_TCH/H_PDCH from pchan_to_logChComb[] and comment.

This reverts commit 53d792c3b0.
See http://osmocom.org/issues/1796
The commit caused this error for PDCH TS with SysmoBTS:
DL1P <0007> l1_if.c:164 Tx L1 prim MPH-ACTIVATE.req
DL1C <0006> oml.c:811 Error activating L1 SAPI PTCCH on TS 7: Invalid parameter
DL1C <0006> oml.c:1089 (bts=0,trx=0,ts=7,ss=0) act failed mark broken due status: -4
Plain PDCH TS show this error but continue to function despite the SAPI
activation failure.
As a side effect, the SAPI activation failure breaks dynamic TS. GPRS
initially works, but the broken status prevents transitions to TCH/* modes
in the BSC:
DRLL <0000> chan_alloc.c:355 Failed to allocate TCH_H channel
DRSL <0004> abis_rsl.c:1656 BTS 0 CHAN RQD: no resources for TCH_H 0x45
Since the commit only enabled PTCCH UL in sysmobts, no other BTS models are
affected. Notice that lc15 still has PTCCH UL disabled all the while, before
and after this commit and its revert.
Also note that PTCCH DL is and has been enabled without problems (see
further above in sapi_dir_pdtch_sapis[]). This is only about PTCCH UL.

For chan_nr_by_sapi(), add GSM_PCHAN_TCH_F_TCH_H_PDCH to pick_pchan().
Add GSM_PCHAN_TCH_F_TCH_H_PDCH to pchan_to_logChComb[] for first pchan
initialization.
In ts_connect_as(), make sure that callers pass proper "real world" pchan
types, i.e. reject the "meta" GSM_PCHAN_TCH_F_TCH_H_PDCH pchan constant.
In ts_opstart(), connect as PCHAN_NONE since we will only know the desired
pchan when the first RSL chan activ is received.
Add GSM_PCHAN_TCH_F_TCH_H_PDCH to lchan_to_GsmL1_SubCh_t(), by using its
current "real" pchan mode.
Call cb_ts_[dis]connected() unconditionally, i.e. not only for TCH_F_PDCH when
a pending flag is set. The cb_ts_[dis]connected() will be a no-op if the pchan
type is not dynamic.

We're about to introduce a new kind of dynamic channel, which will also use
parts of the ip.access mode dyn PDCH code paths. Make sure the general parts
have general names and mark ip.access specific parts as such.
Rename dyn_pdch_ts_[dis]connected() to cb_ts_[dis]connected().
Rename dyn_pdch_complete to ipacc_dyn_pdch_complete().
From cb_ts_[dis]connected(), factor out the current code into static
functions ipacc_dyn_pdch_[dis]connected() -- this will make sense once the
new dynamic kind is added to cb_ts_[dis]connected().

For upcoming dyn PDCH switching, I want to be able to set the pchan dynamically
upon ts_connect() and not continue with OPSTART ACK, but with the dyn PDCH.
Thus recoin ts_connect(ts) to ts_connect_as(ts, pchan, cb) and leave
ts_connect() as a thin wrapper to leave init code unchanged.

Enhance bts_model_ API in preparation of dyn PDCH switching. These will be used
to re-connect a TCH/F_PDCH TS in a different mode: either as TCH/F or as PDCH.
All implementations so far return -ENOTSUP, and thus will cause a IPAC PDCH ACT
or DEACT *NACK* to be sent to the BSC as soon as these messages are handled.
Also add stubs in tests.

Place a layer 3 handle into GSM L1 messages to better match up confirmations to
respective requests. This handle is a uint32_t transparently returned in the
confirmation messages, so a match-up is easy to add.
So far, a GSM L1 confirmation message received for a preceding L1 Request was
matched only by the prim_id. That meant that only one instance of the same
primitive could be waiting for a confirmation at any given time, or the
responses would get mixed up: the struct wait_l1_conf instances entered into
the fl1h->wlc_list queue would be returned to a possibly mismatching
confirmation handler. (Seen during testing of dyn pdch switching.)
Send the hLayer3 handle out via prim_init(), using new static functions to
produce handles on different scopes:
* l1p_handle_for_trx()
* l1p_handle_for_ts()
* l1p_handle_for_lchan()
(These could possibly move to a more general .h/.c file later.)
Remember the hLayer3 handle in
* struct wait_l1_conf.
Match the incoming confirmations' and stored hLayer3 handles up in, and remove
a now obsolete comment from:
* is_prim_compat()
Since the hLayer3 members are at different byte offsets in
GsmL1_Prim_t.u.*, use large switch statements to set/get the value:
* In prim_init(), extend existing switch statement to set in GsmL1_Prim_t.
* Add l1p_get_hLayer3() to retrieve from GsmL1_Prim_t (could possibly move to a
more general .h/.c file later).

MS uplink power control is required in pretty much any BTS, and we
cannot assume that they PHY / L1 will always take care of it by
itself. So the correspondign code is moved to common/power_control.c
and called from the generic part of L1SAP.
The corresponding VTY paramter has been moved from the sysmobts-specific
trx VTY node to the common BTS VTY node.
There are three transitions:
1. LCHAN_CIPH_NONE -> LCHAN_CIPH_RX_REQ -> LCHAN_CIPH_RX_CONF
It is used to enable ciphering in RX (uplink) direction only.
2. LCHAN_CIPH_RX_CONF -> LCHAN_CIPH_RX_CONF_TX_REQ -> LCHAN_CIPH_RXTX_CONF
It is used to additionally enable ciphering in TX (downlink) direction.
3. LCHAN_CIPH_NONE -> LCHAN_CIPH_RXTX_REQ -> LCHAN_CIPH_RX_CONF_TX_REQ
-> LCHAN_CIPH_RXTX_CONF
It is used to enable ciphering in both TX and RX directions. This is used
when the channel is activated with encryption already enabled. (assignment
or handover)
In order to follow the order of these transitions, the RX direction must
always be set before the TX direction.
If no cipher key is set (A5/0), ciphering is set to ALG 0, but lchan cipher
state remains at LCHAN_CIPH_NONE.
Currently the DSP is instructed to achieve a given uplink
power target but there are circumstances (e.g. EMV testing)
where we need more control over it. The "manual/software/osmo"
power control can only be implemented per TRX and not per
lchan. Add a very very basic control that checks the MS Power
used by the phone, the actual receive level and then adjust
the power.
The code doesn't take the history into account, if the phone
can not reach the requested power level the code will be stuck
(e.g. no timeout based on multiframes). It has a mode for a
fixed power control but no way to set it yet.
The change of the mode requires a restart of the software.
This should handle OML channel combinations with CBCH and activate the
CBCH SAPI towards the DSP correspondingly. What is still missing is
sending any actual information over the CBCH in respons to the
PH-RTS.ind coming up from L1.
With "show bts 0" all objects were still listed as dependency.
Once the BTS has been started.. move all the other objects into
the enabled state. Our OpenBSC OML code doesn't care but people
using the VTY to inspect state will be more happy.
One day... we will create proper statemachines inside the BTS
and the BSC instead of changing the state in the BTS impl.
Fixes: ONW#1330
We use the completion call-back from L1 to compare the instructed
TRX board output power with the actual value as reported back from
L1.
Right now we only print an error message in case the values disagree.
In the future we might want to either use that value as part of our
calculation or send an OML alarm report to the BSC.
In order to support transmit power reduction by thermal management
as well as the variety of new internal / external PA configurations
of BTSs, we need a slightly more complex system.
Also, as at high power a single dB can be quite a big difference,
we are now doing all computations in milli-dB(m), i.e. 1/10000 bel.
Ramping is now used both for up and down ramping, as that is useful in
cases where you want to gracefully shut down a cell by shrinking its
radius, gradually handing over subscribers to neighboring cells.
Furthermore, this code is becoming part of the 'common' codebase, as it
is not really specific to how sysmobts is working.
The user can specify a single aggregate value for external system
gain/attenuation. Let's say you have 1dB loss of antenna cable, so you
can put that as 'user-gain -1' into the config, which means that a
'transmit power of 20dBm' will be compensatet for that and the TRX is
instructed to output 21dBm to compensate the cable loss. Similarly,
external PAs can be described by a positive user-gain.
One of the next steps will be to communicate those values and the
nominal power capability of the specific BTS to the BSC, so the BSC will
automatically show correct signal levels in the VTY and log files.
The code includes provisions for future extensions regarding
* an external and an internal PA with calibration tables
* a thermal attenuation setting to be controlled by the site manager
For systems with a bigger PA enabling the full output power at
once might draw more current than a power supply can provide. This
code will step up the output power in smaller steps to avoid this
situation.
In case the max power reduction has been changed through OML,
let us call the l1if_set_txpower routine to update the nominal
power. This has been manually verified with both BTS #1 and #57.
./bsc_control.py -d localhost -p 4249 -s bts.0.trx.0.max-power-reduction 0
The above command and GNUradio have been used to determine if
the power level has changed at all.
Fixes: SYS#268
These routines do not pass the gsm_abis_mo and parsing the FOM
header of the msg does not seem to be a good idea either. Pass
in the OML object so that the model code can determine what the
void pointer is.
The DSP/FPGA appears to report bogus PhDataInd with hlayer2 == 0.
Currently this would match the TRX==0,TS==0 and SS=0 and then we
report bad measurement reports. Add a magic number to the lower
eight bit of the hLayer2 to differentiate valid numbers.
Addresses:
<0004> measurement.c:97 (bts=0,trx=0,ts=0,ss=0) measurement during state: NONE
<0004> measurement.c:102 (bts=0,trx=0,ts=0,ss=0) no space for uplink measurement
Currently a locked cell is actively broadcasting when it is being
bootstrapped after the lock.
This patch adds an initial update of the RF mute state when the TRX
is initialized.

When the lchan was activated for handover configure it to wait
for a RACH burst. On release make sure to always release the
RACH SAPI (in case it has been allocated). On the first frame
inform handover.c about it and forward the received access burst
to the handover layer.
Using an E71 it was possible to make a handover for SDCCH and
TCH/F from a nanoBTS but also from itself to itself. The vty
commands of OpenBSC and the silent-call have been used for that.
I didn't verify audio handling so far.
The BTS layer needs to inform the handover code when an access
burst has been received. In turn the handover layer will ask the
bts to modify the channel, it will schedule the physical information
inform the BSC with the HANDOVER DETECTION and waits for the BTS
layer to inform it about the first received frame to stop a timer.
The sysmoBTS L1 has the TSC as a global value, we cannot have individual
per-timestamp or even per-lchan TSC, as the GSM specification would
suggest (and other BTSs support).
Rather than fail silently, write an error message to the log and
return NM_NACK_PARAM_RANGE or RSL_ERR_SERV_OPT_UNIMPL back to the BSC.
Use the lchan->rel_act_kind field for the BCCH activatiob by OML.
The lchan's should be marked as active but no event should be sent to
the BSC. This is mostly like the PCU. We can now remove the secnd
argument from lchan_activate.
Currently only mute_state[0] (refers to ts[0]) is inspected to
determine, whether the Radio Carrier's state is set to LOCK.
This patch changes this by looking at all channels and using LOCK
if (and only if) all channels have been muted successfully.

Currently a Change Administrative State Request is just applied
unconditionally to the object's state object and then acknowledged.
This patch implements the special handling of setting the Radio
Carriers state to LOCK or UNLOCK. This is done by passing the
appropriate mute command to the L1 layer. Always all radio channels
are affected, it is not possible to lock single radio channels.
On success, an ACK is sent back to the bsc with the new state (based
on the state passed in the callback by the L1 layer). If something
went wrong or the firmware doesn't support RF mute, a NACK
(REQ_NOT_GRANTED) is sent instead.
Note that a NACK for such a request hasn't been sent by the BTS to
the BSC yet, so (albeit it's spec conformant to do so) the BSC must
be prepared to handle this correctly.
