This adds compression of bitmap in PUAN. The compressed bitmap
is used only if the number of bits in the bitmap does not fit in
the message and there is a gain after compression.
The algorithm is part of libosmocore and so there is dependency
on the libosmocore for compilation.
The algorithm is tested on integration setup by forcing compression.

Fix alignment of EPDAN outside the RLC transmit window,
according to section 9.1.8.2.4 in 44.060 version 7.27.0 Release 7.
The specification explains that a bit within the uncompressed bitmap
whose corresponding BSN is not within the transmit window shall be
ignored. Without this fix PCU was dropping the EPDAN message and not
updating the status of BSNs which are inside the RLC window. This patch
updates the status of the BSNs which are inside the window and ignores

This patch is for fixing encoding of padding bits according to the
3gpp spec 44.060 section 11, wherein it shall always start with 0
bit followed with spare padding bits.
During introduction of basic EGPRS feature new hex dump messages
from a different working network log were used in Unit test. These
exposed the issue of incorrect handling of padding bits encoding
in osmo-pcu.
Corrections in the existing test vector of rlcmac is also updated.
In testsuite tbf appropriate corrections for the Tbftest.err is
also done.
Currently single BSN blocks of size 68 (a single unit from MCS-8)
are put into a MCS-6 block with padding according to TS 44.060
Annex J. Unfortunately, these packets are ignored by the E71. This
might be related to the currently incorrect usage of the puncturing
schemes and the RSB bit (the puncturing schemes are not updated and
the RBS flag is never set).
Avoid downgrading from MCS-8 to MCS-6 if there is no second block
available. Send the block twice instead.

Currently only one BSN block is encoded in each RLC data message,
even if MSC7-9 are used, which transport two independant (except for a
max BSN delta of 512) BSN blocks. In that case, the same block is
just put twice into the same message.
The current create_dl_acked_block(fn, ts) method handles
block selection (resend, new BSN, dummy block, ...) and restart
handling in one method and is too complex to extend it accordingly.
Therefore this commit move the block selection/creation handling into
a new method (take_next_bsn) which delivers the next BSN along with a
hint, whether it may be combined with another block. In that case,
the function can be called a second time (this time with a valid
previous BSN, that's the one returned by the first call) to get the
second BSN. The real block generation method
create_dl_acked_block(fn, ts, index, index2) is then called with both
BSNs as indices (the second must be -1, if there is only one BSN).
Note that every BSN returned by take_next_bsn should be passed to
create_dl_acked_block to avoid state inconsistencies.

Currently the method is hard-coded to support a single BSN only.

Currently the state on the TBF is set to ASSIGN when it is created
and in general changed to FLOW when it is acknowledged by the MS. The
moment when the assignment is really transmitted to the MS (which can
take some time) is not reflected by the state. A TBF can considered
to be valid, when the assignment is received by the MS.
Add the state WAIT_ASSIGN that is entered when the assigment has been
send to the MS (more precisely: when the corresponding RTS has been
processed or the message has been sent to the BTS).
The TBF, its PDCH(s), and its TFI can be assumed to be valid, when the
TBF has a state of WAIT_ASSIGN or higher (assuming that the TBF
starting time has not been set, which is currently only done for SBA,
which are not associated with a TBF).
Note that due to queuing in the BTS there can still be a invalid
time period for immediate assignments, when the request is lingering
in the AGCH or PCH queues.

are removed from the parameter list.

Currently the plain 'egprs' command enables EGPRS but doesn't prevent
phones from being served in GPRS mode if they do not support EGPRS.
This involves complex frame allocation implementations in dynamic
mode, especially if 8PSK is being used. This is due to the inability
of non-EGPRS phone to decode 8PSK USF and ES/P altogether. Since
polling has a higher priority than USF, collisions will have to be
prevented by the PCU by never using an GPRS USF if it refers to a FN
that is already being used for polling.
This commit just disables mixed usage by ignoring GPRS-only request
if EGPRS is enabled.

Since the rlc_data_to_dl_append function has been validated against
the test cases being described in annex B of TS 44.060, this
commit fixes an encoder bug which leads to broken LLC frames in
a special case (see example B.2, the main header's E bit was
erroneously set to 1 in that case). When this happens, the LLC frame
will get discarded after reassembly, so that TCP will have to

Currently the TBF and MS object use a plain integer value
(current_cs) to manage the coding scheme. This makes it difficult to

Use the GprsCodingScheme type instead of integer for cs fields and
variables. Add a 'mode' to GprsMs which can be set to either GPRS,

current_cs_ul/dl. Select the mode based on max_mcs_ul and max_mcs_dl.
