The UL and DL TBF use different classes implementing window

common window management superclass inside common TBF superclass. While
at it, also remove the direct access to window class - use accessor
functions instead.

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.

When PDAN/EPDAN with channel description is received, PCU will generate the

Earlier there was an incorrect encoding of PUAN when VQ is not equal

Check Timing Advance validity and set corresponding bit for Immediate
Assignment message. Previously !polling was errorneously used (polling
bit has nothing to do with TA validity according to 3GPP TS 44.018 Table
10.5.2.16.1) which lead to TA being always valid as polling is always 0
in other parts of the code.

Currently most offsets are hard-coded which makes it difficult to
access the data units and their headers when padding has to be taken
into account. These offset are already provided by the
gprs_rlc_data_info_init_ul/dl functions.
Change the encoder/decoder to use these values.
Note that some assumptions (bit alignment) are still present in the
code and checked by assertions.

Currently the old TFI is always used as ID when a

if the old TBF has not been fully assigned yet. The
MS will then ignore the PDA.

an additional parameter old_tfi_is_valid and uses the new TBF's

Currently the checks for and the actual polling is done in several
places by copy & paste of several lines of code. This hinders changes
of they polling is handled internally and also is likely source of
programming mistakes.
Separate this into a check_polling function, that checks whether
polling is possible and returns the FN and the RRBP to be used in
that case. Otherwise the cause is logged (LOGL_DEBUG) and a negative
error value is returned. There are no other side effect beside the
logging.
If the call is successful, the set_polling method can be used to
actually register the polling.

This commit renames the actual encoding function to

This function appends a single chunk to an RLC downlink data block.

Currently the (GPRS) RLC block encoding is done by setting the
header fields directly in gprs_rlcmac_dl_tbf::create_new_bsn.
This is much more complex with EGPRS, since the data fields are
not byte aligned, the header formats depend on the header type,
and the mapping of bits to bytes is LSB first.
This commit adds Encoding::rlc_write_dl_data_header which writes
the header according to the given gprs_rlc_data_header structure.
Encoding::rlc_copy_from_aligned_buffer is also added to copy
byte sequences into the message.
Note that the actual encoding of data units is not yet present.

Currently the TBF and MS object use a plain integer value
(current_cs) to manage the coding scheme. This makes it difficult to
support the MCS schemes. GprsCodingScheme supports a partial ordering
of these values (CS and MCS) and provides safe increment and
decrement methods.
Use the GprsCodingScheme type instead of integer for cs fields and
variables. Add a 'mode' to GprsMs which can be set to either GPRS,
EGPRS, or EGPRS_GMSK which also set the initial values of
current_cs_ul/dl. Select the mode based on max_mcs_ul and max_mcs_dl.

Currently there is only a mod_sns() method which is being used in
expression like bsn_expr & win.mod_sns(). This only works, because
it is known that mod_sns() is (sns() - 1) where sns() in turn is

specifics that should be kept inside the respective module.

The TA value rather relates to an MS and not to a single TBF. So all
TBFs share the same TA value. Currently the TA value is stored per
TBF and eventually copied from an old TBF to a new one. It is in
general only passed with an RACH request when the TLLI and thus the
MS is not yet known.
This commit adds a TA member to the GprsMs class and uses that one
when the TBF is associated to an MS object. Since the TBF is not
always associated with an MS object (after RACH or when it has been
replaced by another TBF), the TA value is still stored in each TBF
and that value is used as long as no MS object is being associated.
