This variable meaning has been changing its exact meaning over time
until finally not being really clear which kind of state it holds.
Initially it seemed to be used to identfy whether CLOCK IND were being
received. However, over time both osmo-bts and osmo-trx have evolved and
were fixed so that clock indications are only sent by osmo-trx after
POWERON command is sent. As a result, this state can be checked simply by
looking at the "powered" phy_link variable, which is only set to true
once the TRX has confirmed the POWERON command, and hence it is sending
CLOCK IND.
On the other hand, at some point in time "available" started to be set to 1
in bts_model_phy_link_open(), which means available is nowadays almost
always 1 from startup until the end (only dropped during bts_shutdown(),
when we are already exiting the process anyway).
As a result, !available condition in scheduler_trx.c:trx_fn_timer_cb can
almost never happen, because available is set to true already. Only
possibility would be if an old process of osmo-trx (not set up by this
BTS process) is still sending CLOCK INDs, but in that case we for sure
don't want to configure the BTS based on that, but ignore them until
this BTS process has again configured the TRX. So that whole check can
be dropped. We are better checking for "powered" state, which is far
more accurate, and we better do that in trx_if.c before calling
trx_fn_timer_cb().
Other uses of "transceiver_available" being used can be changed to use
plink->state!= PHY_LINK_SHUTDOWN, since available was already being set
to 1 at the same time the plink->state was being set to
PHY_LINK_CONNECTING.
As a result of this state handling re-arrangement, OS#4215 is fixed
since trx_if_powered() is used instead of previous state condition to
check whether data frames should be sent.

It can be dropped since bts_shutdown() ends up calling immediatelly
bts_model_trx_close() which in turn calls bts_model_trx_close() which
sets enabled = false and calls l1if_provision_transceiver_trx() to
power off the TRX.

Use of variables in each code is confusing and mixing configuration with
POWERON/POWEROFF state (which is at least per phy inst and not per TRX,
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
and POWEROFF), and becomes shared by all trx in same phy_link, since
those CMDs are usually sent by first phy instance of the link (the first
trx).

check_transceiver_availability() is a loop over every trx, same to what

Currently there's bts-virtual specific fields in gsm_bts which is not used
by other models and are always allocated.
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
case it makes more sense to use that abstraction instead of filling code
with preprocessor ifdefs to guard against non-defined types, etc.
Existing model specific data is moved there.
This new infra will be user further in forthcoming commits.

If a logical channel, on which an Access Burst has been received,
is not either of RACH, PDTCH or PTCCH, then this is a handover
Access Burst, which is always encoded as 8-bit and shall contain
the generic training sequence (TS0).
Access Bursts on a PDCH time-slot are not related to handover.

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().

If VTY cmd "osmotrx trxd-max-version 0" is used, max version 0 is used
(default starting one) and hence no need to send SETFORMAT (this is
useful in order to avoid sending SETFORMAT to old TRX implementations
not supporting the command). In this case, let's inform the user that
indeed osmo-bts won't send SETFORMAT because version 0 is assumed.

When sending an AMR BFI, we need to call osmo_amr_rtp_enc() with
AMR_BAD as the last parameter. This function returns the length

(what should not happen in general), we should neither call
memset() on it, nor call _sched_compose_tch_ind().

All MS/UE must be notified of ETWS Primary Notifiations.
Depending on their state, the notification goes different paths:
* CS dedicated mode: BSC sends it as L3 message over LAPDm / DCCH
* CS/PS idle mode: BTS sends paging messages on PCH
* PS TBF active: PCU send Packet Application Info
This enables the last of the three methods by passing any
ETWS Primary Notifications received over RSL via the PCU socket into
the PCU.

The ETWS (Earthquake and Tsunami Warning System) uses a so-called
ETWS Primary Notification which is sent
* to phones in dedicated mode (via DCCH from the BSC)
* to phones in idle mode (via P1 Rest Octets on PCH/CCCH)
This patch implements the second part of the functionality, i.e.
transmitting the related ETWS Primary Notification via PCH. As
3GPP doesn't specify how this is communicated over Abis, we use
a new, vendor-specific RSL message type.

Convert the cell identity to LE when sending it to the PCU via unix
socket, just like we do it with the location area code.
In the Osmocom stack, the CellID is configured in OsmoBSC, sent as BE
via RSL to OsmoBTS, then with a socket to OsmoPCU (where OsmoPCU expects
it to be LE in a LE system). OsmoBTS was always sending the CellID as
BE to OsmoPCU. In March 2018, a regression in OsmoPCU [1] caused an
endianness swap in the CellID on LE systems, resulting by chance in the
correct, LE encoded, CellID as it should have been sent from OsmoBSC
(for LE systems). This regression was fixed in March 2019 [2].
I've verified this fix with a TTCN3 test [3].

parameter removed (c65c5b4ea075ef6cef11fff9442ae0b15c1d6af7). However,
definition in C file doesn't contain "(void)", which means number of
parameters is undefined and thus compiler doesn't complain. Let's remove
parameters from all callers before enforcing "(void)" on it.
API osmo_stats_vty_add_cmds never had a param list but has seem problem
(no "void"), so some users decided to pass a parameter to it.

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.

It was noticed with old Sony Ericsson phones (like W595 and K510i)
that the service provided by Osmocom network becomes unreliable
from time to time. The RSSI indicator on those phones shows that
the signal is lost, so neither CS nor PS services are working.
As it then turned out, System Information 3 broadcasted on the
Um interface is different than the one received from the BSC.
In particular, the content of SI3 Rest Octets IE is different.
Among with the 'GPRS Indicator', which is actually expected to
indicate whether the PCU is connected or not, SI3 Rest Octets
on the Um interface contain both 'Optional Power Offset' and
'Scheduling if and where' IEs, which are not present in the
original messages from the BSC.
Moreover, as soon as the PCU is connected, 'GPRS Indicator' IE
contains different 'GPRS RA Colour' value, and informs the MS
that System Information 13 is sent on extended BCCH, which
is not even supported by OsmoBTS!
The culprit is in rsl_rx_bcch_info(), where we pass a pointer
to osmo_gsm48_rest_octets_si3_decode(). Instead of passing a
pointer to the beginning of SI3 buffer, we actually need to
shift it to the beginning of the SI3 Rest Octets IE.
This change makes my Sony Ericsson phones happy ;)
