Return early in case the IMSI was already checked, if not we need
to look at the connection and check if the message could contain a
imsi we want/need to filter.
Return -1 if the IMSI should be filtered, 0 if the IMSI could not
be checked and 1 if the IMSI was checked and allowed to pass. In
the future this will be used to inspect every message coming by.
Add some code to count TCH/H and TCH/F and also handle
the neci bit of the network. Our channel allocator will
allocate a TCH/F if we request a TCH/H but can not allocate it.
Only page if we have a load that is acceptable for paging. This
option is off by default, and can be enabled per bts. The idea
is that when we have no resources right now we will not page as
it will only create more RACHs and increase the load.
By default we are keeping the old behavior to always page and
only by changing a setting one is using the new behavior.
Instead of throwing a huge pile of paging commands to the BTS
we will submit one paging command every half second. This way
we can have different messages between the paging commands.
This is done to avoid crashes of the nanoBTS when too much
paging messages are send.
It might be that we run down to zero available slots but the BTS
might not send us a load indication. This can happen if we think
we send paging requests and the BTS disagrees and considers them
as errors and does not count the paging message.
When we drop to zero we will start a credit timer to give us extra
credit after six seconds, if we get a CCCH load indication before
we will stop the timer.
It is possible that the MSC is not sending the channel type it
needs for the operations it wants to do. Add a configuration option
to assign a TCH in case of paging any requests. It can be a good
idea to leave SDCCHs free for location updating requests and use
the TCH for SMS-MT and CC-MT.
Store the mapping from request to channel type in the GSM Network
struct as there is some policy involved with handling the request.
E.g. in a half rate network we don't want emergy calls to be getting
a TCH/F, or we want to have a different policy for early/late assignment
of phone calls. Update the table when creating the network and when
the neci is changed.
Allow the MS to use uplink discontinous transmission by
setting the right bit in the SystemInformation and set
DTXd/DTXu on the RSL channel commands.
This is configurable via dtx-used (0|1) on the network
level and still considered as experimental.
When the cell becomes visible we will be bombed with location
updating requests and to reduce the load on the network we should
assign as many channels for it as possible. During load peek it
is even more important than to have a spare voice channel and in
general the LU procedure is pretty fast.
Assume that if the MSC has assigned a timeslot/multiplex it will
also be used for the MGCP. So we just assume that it was allocated
on the BSC as well... in the worse case we will send a DLCX downstream
but it should be fine.
We are going to have more than one trunk, so all code hardcoding the
multiplex to zero must go. Avoid this kind of problem by saving the
MGCP endpoint number and comparing that.
This uses the osmo_daemonize() function of libosmocore >= 0.1.18,
and is now implemented for bac_nat, osmo-bsc, bsc_hack, osmo-gbproxy
and bsc_mgcp. This means only osmo-sgsn is missing, which currently
has no option parsing at all.
