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
the remaining bits.

gcc6 is optimizing if (!this) {CODE} as this is assumed to never be a
std::nullptr here. Move the null check to the caller. In preparation of
removing the check within llc_queue->size(), all callers must check the object
before calling it. Make sure of that: make the llc_queue() access function
protected and offer only a public llc_queue_size() function that incorporates
the NULL check. All current callers are only interested in the
llc_queue_size().

Adds support to find the puncturing scheme for retransmission

MCS change is aligned with TS 44.060 9.3.2.1. Puncturing scheme

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.

Comparing the coding scheme properties doesn't seem to be strong
enough, since create_dl_acked_block(fn, ts, index, index2) sometimes
had to combine data units of different size this way.
Check the registered size of the BSN blocks instead, since these must
match if two blocks are to be combined in a single RLC data message
with MCS7-9.
It is not yet clear, what exactly goes wrong with the current
implementation, but this commit fixes the problem which trigger the
assertion in create_dl_acked_block.
Sponsored-by: On-Waves ehf
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.
MCS-7 to MCS-9 encode 2 data blocks into a single RLC data message.
This commit refactors create_dl_acked_block to process any number

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.

Currently TBF related tasks (status changes, counter updates,
LLC dummy command insertion) as well as
RLC data block generation are done within create_new_bsn.
The data block creation part has already been copied to
the stateless Encoding::rlc_data_to_dl_append function.
This commit changes create_new_bsn to use the encoder function and
just care about the TBF related stuff.
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
retransmit the lost packet.

This commit removes the use of struct rlc_dl_header from
gprs_rlcmac_dl_tbf::create_dl_acked_block and
gprs_rlcmac_dl_tbf::create_new_bsn. Instead of patching the
data area directly, the RLC block encoding functions are used.
Note that the data unit encoding is still hard-coded to GPRS in
create_new_bsn, so using MCS 1-4 (albeit being supported by the
encoder) will not work yet.

Currently the RLC message length that is obtained from the DSP is
reduced by 1 if the last byte of the buffer includes spare bits.
While this worked well with GPRS, these bits are being used to
encode RLC blocks in EGPRS mode. Thus this last byte must not be
chopped off. The functionality of the code is not affected by this,
since the modified length value is not used.
This commit adds GprsCodingScheme::usedSizeDL/UL to return
the number of bytes needed to encode the message block. If there are
single bits at the end that are to be used (EGPRS), the functions
return the number of full bytes plus 1 (which is the buffer size
reported by the DSP and returned by sizeUL/sizeDL). The commit also
removes the len parameter from rcv_data_block_acknowledged.

The EGPRS multi-slot class need to be parsed from the CSN.1 RA

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.

The leak rate sent to the SGSN does not reflect the current CS level,
lost frames, and control message overhead. So the SGSN cannot do
proper queue control under non-optimal conditions.
This commit computes the leak rate for the last flow control interval
by computing the maximum theoretical leak rate and basically
substracting control blocks, nacked blocks, and reduced block sizes
due to CS downgrade. By using this approach, the value will by more
stable on low load, where the value will tend to be near the value
derived from the configuration. On full load the transmitted value is
completely derived from the measurements.
Note that the MS default values are no adapted to the adapted BVC
leak rate, since a single MS which has a lower link quality would
otherwise be reducing the rate of another MS with good radio
conditions, which would not make much sense if they did not share any
PDCH.
