Since we don't know the RX and TX parameters of the BTS that might be used
with PCU, the MS should not adapt the TX power from the RX level. So the
MS should always transmits with same power.
Finding an 'alpha' and 'gamma' value that will result in a constant
RX level at the BTS is a task of deployment.
It is quite essential. It shows how TBFs are related and helps to estimate
states and timers (timeouts) of the MS.
In order to use it, it must be defined by a switch at gprs_rlcmac.h.
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 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.
The option added is required to change PLMN that is announced to SGSN.
This allows BTS to have a different PLMN.
(Usefull for roaming in conjunction with simlock.)
These informations provide RAI, timers, counters and other attributes to
the BSSGP and RLC/MAC processes.
The attributes are stored in gprs_rlcmac_bts global structure.
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.
