Original code: c7e7f6868b
(The code was committed earlier, but got lost somehow.)
I added IMSI, so the paging request is sent in correct paging group.
Also I excluded rest octets from pseudo length.
It is tested and it work.
It is mandatory to support it because MS may request a single block.
In this case the network must assign a single block.
It is possible to force single block allocation for all uplink requests
on RACH. (VTY option)
The new data structure is required to define slot/TFI assigment for MS
with multislot capability.
Now there are two lists for TBFs: uplink and downlink. It is possible to
have different TBFs with same TFI in the same direction, as long as they
are assigned on different timeslots.
See tbf.txt for description.
Note: This does not implement any multislot support. It defines the new
data structure. Currently only the first slot is assigned.
The signal handler will end the main loop, so clean exit is performed.
The allocated memory is dumped in order to detect memory leaks.
All talloc functions use tall_pcu_ctx context instead of NULL, to track
memory leaks.
Merge is based on jolly_new branch with two modifications.
1. Modified PCU L1 interface.
pcu_l1_if.cpp - common functions for tx and rx messages on L1 interface.
sysmo_sock.cpp - SYSMO-PCU socket functions.
openbts_sock.cpp - OpenBTS-PCU socket functions.
pcuif_proto.h - L1 interface's primitives.
2. Modified encoding of RLC/MAC Control messages, now we use structures and encode_gsm_rlcmac_downlink() function for encode control blocks (without hand-coding).
The pseudo length may not include the rest-octets, so it stays compatible
to non-GPRS phones.
At pcu_l1_if.c (OpenBTS) no pseudo length is given, so the frame is
only 22 bytes long. I could not test if it works.
The hack for resetting BSSGP instance is removed and now performed
whenever the NS state changes to UNBLOCKED.
The BSSGP instance is now created only once, as it should be.
Received STATUS messages are ignored as they should be.
The creation and destruction of BSSGP/NS instances is now handled by
layer 1 interface alone.
Added functions:
- gprs_bssgp_pcu_rx_paging_ps() for handling paging message from BSSGP;
- write_paging_request() for writing paging request message;
- gprs_rlcmac_paging_request() and pcu_l1if_tx_pch() for sending paging request message to BTS.
The OpenBTS socket functions are moved from main to pcu_l1_if.cpp.
New sysmo_l1_if.cpp is introduced. It used special unix socket interface
to connect to sysmo-BTS. This is required to access CCCH/RACH and info
about cell layout. Traffic is also forwarded via this interface, but
it direct access of L1 baseband DSP will be added soon.
In order to handle ready-to-send requests above l1_if, the transmit
queue (for downlink blocks) is moved to gprs_rlcmac.cpp.
The TBF instance additionally holds TRX and TS info, but this is only
a hack currently. TBF instance requires more details about allocated
ressources in the future.
