The sms queue will attempt to send one SMS per subscriber
to fill all the available slots. It will handle the case
where paging has not started, timed out or if there was
any kind of other failure. It is also retransmitting SMS
in case of failures.
The SMSqueue will be responsible of sending to the user. It will
do so in a loop and will also try not to overload the BTS. This
means the throughput of SMS will be limited.
This is providing access to the paging result, the sms,
the transaction. This will allow the SMS queue to do
decisions based on the source of the failure.
The signal_data was inconsistent. Sometimes we passed the transaction
and sometimes we passed the sms. Change it to always pass the sms. The
S_SMS_SMMA is a bit special as it does not involve any SMS.
This is creating 1000 subscribers and 30 SMS each. The SMS
itself is badly formatted (not a valid 7bit encoding) but
it should be enough for a stress test.
If a signal handler accesses the database he will still see
the old lac. Make sure he is seeing the new one. Update the
subscriber from the database in case the query failed or other
things have changed.
Start counting the attempts of each paging request and call
the callback with the PAGING_BUSY type when the paging request
timed out but the subscriber was not paged at all. This can
only happen with a huge paging backlog.
In case the system has so many pending paging
Introduce a method that will remove all subscribers that have a
zero use count. This is useful if someone wants to purge subscribers
from memory or wants to disable the everything in RAM feature.
This is implemented by not freeing the subscriber when the
reference count becomes smaller than zero. We hope that this
will save many database accesses during the congres.
As we do not yet use the HLR from the SGSN, we allow all MS to
attach to our GPRS network. However, if this is running in a public
environment, it could cause service interruption to users of commercial
GPRS networks.
Thus, we now check if the first 5 digits of the IMSI match the MCC/MNC
of the cell that they want to register to. Thus, any subscribers with
SIM cards from real operators will no longer be accepted.
LOGL_ERROR will make this message shpw up in everey default log
config. However, as it seems, this is commonly observed in case
a MS still sends a MS STATUS (in respons to the MM INFO) at the
end of a location area update.
It might be best to actually change the channel release procedure
to make sure we can still pass such 'late' data to the MSC until
the time the Layer2 has been completely released.
If a MS changes RA, the RA will arrive in the new cell using the old
TLLI (masked as foreign TLLI). So we need to look-up the TLLI
in a special way, using the old RA as indicated in the 04.08 GMM
message.
There is still another bug remaining: As we somehow create a new LLC,
the sequence numbers of our responses start from 0 again, which is not
what the MS expects. This needs to be fixed in a follow-up patch.
In the GPRS NS protocol stack, the amount of NS/BSSGP headers like MS RADIO
CAPA INFO can be quite long. In order to fit the full user message and
those headers, we have to enlarge the head/tailroom of the msgb allocations.
On a nanoBTS, this command can be used to manually switch a given 'dynamic
pdch/tch' timeslot from one mode into the other.
There are no safeguards that the timeslot is not in use at the given time.
We send a LU Accept with the TMSI as the MI. According to the
spec the phone should store this new TMSI and send a TMSI
REALLOCATION COMPLETE to us. We will release the LU then and this
should trigger the release procedure.
