I saw the old copy of the "Appendix J" code too late and I have
discovered some quirks and I am more familar with my implementation.
Most noticable 'w' only needs to be as big as the input arfcn but
requires the 'w' to be initialized. The power_of_2 implementation
differs as well (mine matches the output of wirehsark).
The f0 could be chosen in a better way but right now picking
the lower bound is the easiest. It is not clear if to use
modulo if the range is chosen in the middle. This can be improved
in the future. Right now I have no bit fiddling for range128, 256
and 1024 as I was running out of time.
alpha=0 (the new value) doesn't reduce MS transmission power during GPRS
as much as we did with alpha=10. This is to optimize for coverage and
to keep GPRS working at all cost, and not care about MS battery life
time or uplink interference in surrounding cells.
FIXME: This should be made configurable via the VTY and the normal
default (unless configured otherwise by vty/config file) should be '6'.
In order to keep mobile at PACCH as long as possible the timer T3192 is
set to 1500ms. This reduces the probablity of long lasting assignment
process on CCCH for subsequent downlink TBFs.
The first fields are still the location up to the height.
The next field is "operational" if any of the trx are operational,
otherwise "inoperational"
The second to last field contains "locked" if all of the trx are in the
admin state, otherwise "unlocked".
The last field represents the rf policy currently in effect. It is one
of (on|off|grace|unknown).

We now have a lchan->csd_mode member that determines if RSL should
activate the channel in CSD transparent services or not. The previous
code always assumed CSD is non-transparent.
(This requires libosmocore >= eed26116c96f03c6128fac3dead9054714af6cab)
Some nodes below 'config' didn't have ournode_exit / ournode_end,
and thus were not able to properly perform this function. exit should
always only go back one level, while end drops us back to ENABLE_NODE.
The prompt now represents the nesting level, and there's one consistent
space after the final prompt character (typically #).
This effectively limits the number of BTSs to 256, but I think that's
acceptable for now. Unfortuantely there's no decent way to dynamically
update the valid number range depending on how many BTSs are actually
configured in the system :/
While generally we should log troly unknown RR messages, we can simply
pass along RRLP messages (which aren't unknown!)
In real networks, the RRLP would probably not end up at the MSC, but
well, sometimes we don't care what real/classic networks do.
We are currently not checking if the BTS actually suports that cipher,
and we particularly don't have any hack for ip.access which apparently
seems to re-use the RSL algorithm identifier for A5/2.
so far, osmo-bts/sysmobts used to be entered as "sysmobts" type in the
configuration file. However, there are some differences in the
protocol/behaviour and we should reflect that by a new BTS plugin (with
lots of code reuse from the nanobts driver).
In case the connection should not be created/accepted release
the channel by sending a RR Release and de-activating the
SACCH. Phones should deal better with that behavior.
In case the call handling starts on a TCH/H switch to a TCH/F
if fullrate is requested. Add a method that is used to determine
if the mode and current channel are compatible with each other.
We want to have multiple MSCs but we also have some data
that is only present on a per BSC basis. Right now the
MSC data is not allocated with talloc, so we have some
change in the talloc contexts.
In addition to SI 2 and SI 5, the SI 2ter and 2bis is generated, if
neighbour cells in other bands exist. Also it is indicated in the rest
octets of SI3, that SI 2ter is used. If no neighbour cell in a different
band exists, the SI 2ter and SI 5ter is omitted.
A special case is P-GSM range (channels 1-124). To be compatible with
older phones, SI 2bis and SI 5bis is used. If the BCCH lays inside the
P-GSM band, only neighbour cells of the P-GSM range are included in
SI 2 and SI 5. If neighbour cells exist in the same band (900), but lay
outside the P-GSM range, the SI 2bis and SI 5bis is used to extend the
list of neighbour cells. The extension is also indicated in SI 2 and
SI 5. If the BCCH lays inside the P-GSM range, but no neighbour cell
exists in the same band outside the P-GSM range, the SI 2bis ans SI 5bis
are omitted.
