In case of the RTP bridge mode we need to select the codec
ourselves. Rely on the same (incomplete) codec selection that
can be done using the mncc-int configuration node. This might
gain bearer capabilities support.
In case of a SDCCH a TCH/F will be attempted to be assigned.
This is an open issue for both modes and there should be a
preference for full or half-rate channels somewhere.
Implement sending MDCX on the newly allocated channel and send
the data to the same destination as the currently connected one.
This way the receiver can implement RTP RFC Appendix A.1 and
deal with the new source.
For the LCR rtp-bridge audio should directly flow to the
remote system. In contrast to the original patch audio
will now flow directly from the BTS to the remote system.
This assumes that BTS and the remote system are in the
same network segment and can directly communicate.
There are various limitations in the first iteration of
the implementation:
We could (and in the future) should delay the assignment
but currently we are forced to pick the channel and move
it to the audio state. In case we are located on a SDCCH
we always need to change but if we are on a TCH we could
send the ipa.CRCX and change the audio state a lot later.
The net effect is that the audio codec selection needs to
be done in the NITB code and not in the system connected
to it.
This only works with ip based systems. For E1 systems one
could still use the RTP socket or even try to move this
out of the process.
There is no code for handover handling and it relies on
the remote system dealing with the SSRC change of the
system.
This adds the protocol definition for the RTP bridge extension
of Andreas Eversberg and bumps the protocol version.
I added the missing mncc mappings from value to string.

I guess none of our users knows what a mi_type=0x02 is, but most would
know what an IMSI or a TMSI is. So let's use the newly introduced
gsm48_mi_type_name() function to fix this.
Traffic cannot sent to BTS, if there is (currently) no logical channel
associated with the transaction.
This happens, if TCH traffic is received from upper layer, but there is
no lchan available before completing immediate assignment, handover or
assignment process.
[hfreyther: The code has not been moved to tch_frame_down
but the issue looks similiar]
Using the talloc leak report we see that there are some msgb's
that are allocated for SMS but we don't have transactions or
SMS around. We need to improve the name of the messages to
uniquely dscribe where they are from but the obvious leak does
occur in this routine.
The no available transaction id is most likely the case where
we leak memory. This should not occur and shows another issue
with the smsqueue/smpp handling. It doesn't explain the subscr
reference count issue either.
Extract of the leak report:
GSM 04.11 contains 1160 bytes in 1 blocks (ref 0) 0x2517dc0
GSM 04.11 contains 1160 bytes in 1 blocks (ref 0) 0x24b56e0
GSM 04.11 contains 1160 bytes in 1 blocks (ref 0) 0x23e7930
In case the subscriber is currently busy we would omit the
subscr_put. This seems to be very hard to hit as the subscr
need to be active and at the same time be selected for the
purge operation.
Coordinate with the normal subscriber channel requests instead
of going to page ourselves. This might lead to getting a channel
that is of a different type though.

sizeof(subscr->extension)-1, VTY_NEWLINE);
In case foreign simcards are used we can not do authentication
and ciphering. In case a TMSI is re-used too early and we do
page using TMSI we can't know which of the two MS is responding
to us. We could change the "secure channel" routine to ask for
the IMSI and only then stop the paging.
As we don't have ciphering there is not much use in using the
TMSI. Add a mode "no assign-tmsi" that will not assign the TMSI
during LU. Now CM Service Request and Paging Response will
work using the IMSI. There can't be a clash with that.
[ciaby fixed the vty write to use the right name]
When we can't find the TMSI then the subscriber is not in our
VLR. We have not consulted with the HLR and it is better to not
use such a severe error code.
If we have tried SMPP first and it was not routable, and then
tried the local delivery there is no point in trying SMPP with
the same parameters again. Leave early and return unknown sub
to the caller.
default-route would only be looked at after there has been
no subscriber in the local database. Depending on the setup
this is not what one wants. This has been discussed at the
OsmoDevCon and there have been hacks in some branches. Let's
introduce a VTY command to select if SMPP should be consulted
first and then fallback to the current behavior.
Even if it is using BSC/NITB types let's put it in the header
file than just declaring it at a place that could bitrot in a
way that doesn't lead a warning.
The "default-route" for SMPP will be used after a local
subscriber look-up. Sometimes we want to route everything
to SMPP. Make this possible by changing this routine.
The idea of "subscriber_get_channel" was that different
requests would be coordinated. At the same time we have
seen that the "queue" can get stuck at both 31C3 and the
rhizomatica installations.
Voice calls and SMS do not need coordination. We should
be able to send SMS on a voice channel and switch the MS
from a SDCCH to a TCH in case we establish a voice call.
The SMS code itself needs to coordinate to obey the limit
of one SMS per direction but this should be enforced in
the sms layer and not on the subscriber.
Modify the code to have a simple paging coordination. The
subscriber code will schedule the paging and register who
would like to know about success/failure.
This allowed to greatly simplify the paging response
handling for the transaction code (and in fact we could
move the transaction list into the subscriber structure
now). The code gained to support to cancel the notification
of a request (but not the paging itself yet).
TODO: Cancel paging request in case no one cares about it
anymore.
In case the default TCH/F codec is "EFR" and we do an early
assignment from SDCCH to a TCH we would assign the TCH/H
codec. This is because the lchan_type will be neither a
TCH/H nor a TCH/F.
At the same time the _gsm48_lchan_modify code to check for
half vs. full-rate is the other way around. Align both.
It is full-rate if it is not a TCH_H. This will have some
other complications down the way (early assignment on
cells with only TCH/H). So the mode should not depend on
the _current_ channel but the kind of channel we want.
Currently the handling of the buffers is not done consistently. Some
code assumes that the whole buffer may be used to store the string
while at other places, the last buffer byte is left untouched in the
assumption that it contains a terminating NUL-character. The latter
is the correct behaviour.
This commit changes to code to not touch the last byte in the buffers
and to rely on the last byte being NUL. So the maximum IMSI/IMEI
length is GSM_IMSI_LENGTH-1/GSM_IMEI_LENGTH-1.
For information: We assume that we allocate the structure with
talloc_zero. This means we have NULed the entire imsi array and then
only write sizeof - 1 characters to it. So the last byte remains NUL.

Currently some VTY command do neither check the length of the source
string before calling strncpy nor ensure NUL-termination afterwards.
This can to destination string buffers whose contents are not
NUL-teminated.
This commit adds checks and corresponding warnings to the VTY
commands 'subscriber TYPE ID name .NAME" and "subscriber TYPE ID
extension EXTENSION".

The write_queue is designed to have a maximum amount of pending
messages and will refuse to take new messages when it has been
reached. The caller can decide if it wants to flush the queue
and add the message again, create a log. But in all cases the
ownership of the msgb has not been transferred. Fix the potential
memory leak in the failure situation.
In case:
* No message_payload and a 0 sm_length was used
* esm_class indicates UDH being present
* 7bit encoding was requested
The code would execute:
ud_len = *sms_msg + 1;
Which is a NULL pointer dereference and would lead
to a crash of the NITB. Enforce the limits of the
sm_length parameter and reject the messae otherwise.

We are deferencing conn earlier in this function without doing
a null check. At the time deliver_to_esme is called the conn
will always exist and even the lchan is likely to be present.
Remove the null check for conn right now.

Move the "logging filter imsi IMSI" into the BTS/NITB code to
allow to set the gsm_subscriber and only compare it. This way
we simply compare the subscriber address and don't have to care
if the subscriber data is still valid.
This extends osmo_nitb to offer a UDP feed of real-time measurement
reports, which can be used by (a variety of) external tools for
visualization or other processing.
We also add a small ncurses based tool (meas_vis) which shows a
baragraph display of the last few mobile stations that were active,
indicating their uplink/downlink receive level and quality.
<WARNING>
This sends non-portable structures like gsm_meas_rep over UDP
and assumes the receiver has identical alignment and endianness! Before
this feature is merged, it either needs to be converted to a unix domain
socket (but they don't do multicast, which would be nice) or the wire
format needs to change into something portable with defined alignment
and encoding
</WARNING>
The trans_alloc function still uses the subscr object to access the
network object.
This patch adds an explicit net parameter to this function and
removes the access to subscr to obtain it.

Currently every subcriber object directly refers to the gsm_network
which contains a flag shared by every related subscriber
(keep_subscr). This adds a dependency on gsm_network even if only the
function defined in gsm_subscriber_base.c are used.
This patch adds a new struct gsm_subscriber_group which contains the
keep_subscr flag and a back reference to the network object. The
latter is not dereferenced in gsm_subscriber_base.c, so it can safely
be set to NULL when only that part of the gsm_subscriber API is being
used. It also changes that API to use gsm_subscriber_group instead of
gsm_network parameters.
Since there are some places where a pointer to the gsm_network is
needed but where only a gsm_subscriber is available, a 'net' back
pointer is added to the group struct, too. Nevertheless subscr group
and network could be separated completely, but this is not the topic
of this commit.

Currently the net pointer is obtained from trans->subscr->net. On the
other hand, the list gsm_trans object is managed by the net object.
This patch adds the back pointer to the structure and replaces all
trans->subscr->net by trans->net expressions. In trans_alloc() the
trans->net pointer is obtained from the subscr object.
