The logging/debugging code is generic enough to move it into libosmocore
while keeping OpenBSC specific definitions in openbsc itself.
This commit uses the logging support present in libosmocore-0.1.2,
you will have to update your library to this version.
This library is intended to collect all generic/common funcitionality
of all Osmocom.org projects, including OpenBSC but also OsmocomBB
The library currently includes the following modules:
bitvec, comp128, gsm_utils, msgb, select, signal, statistics, talloc, timer,
tlv_parse, linuxlist
msgb allocation error debugging had to be temporarily disabled as it depends on
'debug.c' functionality which at the moment remains in OpenBSC
If the lchan has AMR as speech codec we also need to send the
multirate config IE in the channel activation. This is already
done for the RSL Channel Modify message.
In many cases we actually want a name / unique ID for the lchan,
not just for the on-air timeslot... especially in SDCCH/8 case,
where 8 SDCCHs share one timeslot...
When we allocate a channel, we send the RSL CHAN ACT REQ and wait until we get
a CHAN ACT ACK. Only the ACK will change the state, so there is a race where
we allocate that same channel to a different channel request before we get
the ACT ACK.
Introducing a new ACT_REQ state resolves this issue.
This is the new logging architecture, including
* support for multiuple logging targets like stderr and vty
* log levels in addition to categories/subsystems
* filtering based on imsi, i.e. only see events for one subscriber
* dynamically change log level for each category for each vty
This has the advantage that counters can be added all over the code
very easily, while having only one routine that stores all of the
current counter values to the database. The counters are synced
every 60 seconds, providing relatively fine grained statistics
about the network usage as time passes by.
This allows us to block packets that we have received after the channel
is no longer being used. This is visible during handover, where we still
receive a measurement report after the MS has switched to the new channel.
This leftover measurement report then attempts to trigger another handover,
which si bogus and will fail - and thus only consumes resources.
With the new LCHAN_S_ACTIVE state, we can check for this when processing
the measurement report.
This is not really nice, but we will soon have multiple users of
the CRCX / MDCX / DLCX signals, and we cannot guarantee the ordering
of them. So as a workaround, we move the RTP socket creation and
deletion into the core abis_rsl codebase.
This introduces a new LOGP() macro together with LOGL_* definition to
support multiple log levels (severities) throughout the codebase.
Please note that the actual logging system does not use them yet,
in this patch we simply introduce the new macros at the caller site.
With this commit, we can successfully hand over a channel from one cell to
another cell. We implement asynchronous intra-BSC (but inter-BTS) handover.
Changes:
* introduce new DHO log category
* extend rsl_chan_activate_lchan() with argument for HO reference
* introduce actual minimal handover decision making in handover_decision.c
* various fixes to bsc_handover_start() in handover_logic.c
With ip.access, in case of TCH/H, we have one RTP stream for each half-slot
(lchan), not just one per on-air timeslot. This is quite different from
a classic BTS where the TRAU frames of the two TCH/H channels would be
part of the same 16k sub-slot in a E1 timeslot.
Before this commit, OpenBSC used templates for the SYSTEM INFO
1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6 messages. Those templates were patched in
various places to reflect the network config like ARFCN.
Now, we actually generate those SI messages ourselves, using
values from the configuration file, and even calculating neighbor
cell lists.
All bts'es that you have configured in OpenBSC will end up in
the neighbor cell list - which should be more than sufficient for
the current small-single-site networks.
This introduces the signals S_LCHAN_ACTIVATE_{ACK,NACK} and
S_LCAN_HANDOVER_{FAIL,COMPL,DETECT} as well as code that actually issues
those signals. The signals are relevant for a yet-to-be-written handover
control logic.
This patch extends struct gsm_meas_rep into a complete structure containing all
information from both uplink and downlink measurement results/reports.
This is a first step to provide this complete measurement data as a C structure
into a to-be-implemented handover decision algorithm.
Both GSM 04.08 RR and GSM 08.58 RSL need the multirate config
in the channel modify. Place the config in the lchan, change
the gsm48 methods to not take the argument, change the RSL
implementation to make use of it with the right IE.
The other code should use the t(l)v_put routines as well but
were left untouched for now.
