Keep track if the power level has been "fixed" by the BSC,
otherwise keep track of the currently ordered one. The ms_power
is the initial value set by the BSC and continues to be used.
We can now configure the pyisical channel types for CBCH either in the
CCCH+SDCCH4 or in the SDCCH8 chanel combination.
Depending on whether a CBCH exists on the BTS, we also generate the SI4
with matching CBCH channel description to notify the phones of the
existance of the CBCH.
There is now a VTY command how a SMS-CB message can be sent to a given
BTS.
We do not yet have any logic at all for actual scheduling of multiple
CBCH RSL messages towards one or multiple BTSs yet, though.
E.g. for the sysmoBTS2050 we have the requirement that the first
board connects before the second due clocking. The easiest point
to enforce this is the BSC. Add a simple bitmask based system to
allow to express dependencies for IP based systems.
Back in March 2013, some structures and defines related to decoded
measurement reports have been moved from openbsc to libosmocore
(libosmocore e128f4663104ed64e33e362cff2566f36d65e658) so that they can
be used also from osmo-bts. This finally makes gsm_lchan follow suit
for osmo-bts.
The gb_proxy shouldn't start to open the box of pandora by including the
gsm_data_shared.h file, particularly not without defining the BSC role.
In any case, as the reserved TMSI is something that's part of the GSM
specs, and not specific to the OpenBSC implementation, it should be part
of libosmocore.
We don't want every caller to check for ts->tsc == -1 and then
using ts->trx->bts->tsc instead. Rather, introduce a new inline
function to retrieve the correct value.
The iPhone5 (US) appears to have some issues with the SIs generated,
or the nanoBTS is not sending them correctly.
Add a configurable hack to put all bands into the SI2/SI5 message.
It is enabled by the bts VTY command 'force-combined-si'.
This is a quick change without much reflection and watching for side
effects. I have verfied that a network with ARFCN 134 and neighbors
ARFCN 130 and 512 do not get generate the SI2ter and announce everything
inside the SI2.
This patch is conceptually based on 'si: Add a hack to disable
SI2ter/SI2bis/SI5ter/SI5bis messages' (692daaf2d2).

Speech codings which are not supported by BTS will be removed from the
bearer capability information element after parsing. This way it is not
required for the MNCC application to consider support of each BTS.
Only GSM full rate is supported by default.
This option is a workarround for a bug found in Nokia InSite BTS firmware
version 3.0.0. There is no RELease CONFirm message for local end release.
Nokia MetroSite with firmware version 4.178.16 is not affected.
TS 04.06 Chapter 5.4.4.4 "Local end release procedure" states that a
confirm must be sent by layer 2 when receiving a local end release
request.
In order to correctly switch a channel (handover or assignment), local
end release is required.
GSM 12.21 specifies that "No elementary procedure shall be
initiated to an object instance which has not yet replied to
a previously initiated elementary procedure with a response,
an ACK or a NACK within a layer 3 time-out. The layer 3
timeout for ACK, NACK and responses shall have a default value
of 10 seconds."
We are using this flag in the BTS to enforce/safe-guard
this situation.
When the PCU is activating a channel we don't want to tell the
BSC using RSL. Add a flag so we can keep track of who asked for
the activation/release of the channel.
This adds in-place patching of the time information in the
MM INFORMATION message. The timezone in the 'Local time zone' and
the 'Universal time and local time zone' information elements
and the offset in the 'Network Daylight Saving Time' information
element are optionally set.
The new values are determined by the 'timezone' vty command in the
config_net_bts node. That command is extended by an optional
DST offset parameter.
Tests are provided for the vty part and for the plain
bsc_scan_msc_msg() function.

The support has been implemented for an old model, we were told that
newer versions would be made incompatible with OpenBSC. Ther are
various warnings in the code and coverity has found some new ones.
Just remove the code as we don't know of anyone using this code.
The sysmobts is now having a SAPI queue with all pending SAPI operations
on the BTS. Add the llist_head to the lchan and make sure it is initialized
by the shared code.
This patch adds a new VTY command "ip.access rsl-ip A.B.C.D" at the
BTS level. If you set this IP address, the BTS will be instructed to
establish the RSL link to the indiciated IP address, rather than using
the same as for the OML link (default).
Use "ip.access rsl-ip 0" to disable the feature.
T3109 is started when the SACCH is deactivated. It is stopped when
the phones sends the DISC/UA/UM on LAPDm for the main signalling
link. In case of timeout the abnormal release procedure will be
initiated. Make sure to not issue the SACCH Deactivate twice to
avoid confusing the equipment.
This is still not fully spec compliant. In case of a timeout the
abnormal release handling will be started which involves starting
T3111+2. The error handling should be split out of the rf channel
release method, e.g. lchan_release should be called and check if
the channel release was already initiated.
If the CHAN ACTIV is NACKED we set the state backto NONE. This is
problematic as our channel allocator will allocate from the front
or from the back and if the channel is early in the list it might
cause permanent failures. Introduce a BROKEN state and use it when
the channel activation is failing for an unknown reason. Copy the
cause so it can be inspected later.
* Release all channels with SAPI > 0 with the "local end release"
(as of NOTE 1 of GSM 04.08).
* No need to wait for all SAPIs to be torn down and the normal
REL_IND/REL_CONF will call rsl_handle_release and the channel
should be released.
* Update the documentation
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)
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).
