If Idle TBF timer (X2031) is set to 0, it means the TBF release is
immediately started once all queued data has been scheduled. In that
case, we must set FBI=1 (by setting cv=0) and move to FINISH state.
This used to work over the usual path where X2031 != 0, because release
start will alays happen at a later sched poll time where a dummy LLC
frame is sent and FBI set accordingly.

Old commit getting rid of LLC UI dummy and updating create_new_bsn()
function introduced a bug by not moving update of value m_last_dl_drained_fn
prior to a new break introduced.
As a result, the value is not updated in the case LLC queue becomes
drained but last few bytes are drained at exactly that moment.
Furthermore, then the IDLE tbf timer (X2031, keep_open())) returns always
true since according to it the drain never happened.
The impact of the bug is basically delaying a bit more than expected the
time the TBF stays in IDLE state with the TBF release process yet
to be started.

Currently the BTS object (and gprs_rlcmac_bts struct) are used to hold
both PCU global fields and BTS specific fields, all mangled together.
The BTS is even accessed in lots of places by means of a singleton.
This patch introduces a new struct gprs_pcu object aimed at holding all
global state, and several fields are already moved from BTS to it. The
new object can be accessed as global variable "the_pcu", reusing and
including an already exisitng "the_pcu" global variable only used for
bssgp related purposes so far.
This is only a first step towards having a complete split global pcu and
BTS, some fields are still kept in BTS and will be moved over follow-up
smaller patches in the future (since this patch is already quite big).
So far, the code still only supports one BTS, which can be accessed
using the_pcu->bts. In the future that field will be replaced with a
list, and the BTS singletons will be removed.
The cur_fn output changes in TbfTest are actually a side effect fix,
since the singleton main_bts() now points internally to the_pcu->bts,
hence the same we allocate and assign in the test. Beforehand, "the_bts"
was allocated in the stack while main_bts() still returned an unrelated
singleton BTS object instance.

According to:
* 3GPP TS 44.060 version 16.0.0 "9.3.1a Delayed release of downlink Temporary Block Flow"
* 3GPP TS 44.064 version 16.0.0 "6.4.2.2 Unconfirmed Information (UI) Dummy command"
LLC UI Dummy frames are to be used when there no more data to send, only
in order to delay the release of a TBF. Hence, while not incorrect per
se, makes no sense to send those LLC UI Dummy frames inserted into
rlcmac blocks which already contain other LLC frames, since the MS in
that case is already being kept active.
It only makes sense to send those LLC UI Dummy frames when we have
nothing else to send, that is, alone inside a RLCMAC block without other
LLC frames.

In previous status, if USF for GPRS-only MS was selected, then EGPRS
TBFs were skipped and either a GPRS TBF was selected or a Dummy Block
was sent. That means the behavior was unfair towards EGPRS TBFs, because
sometimes they were skipped in favor of GPRS ones.
This patch imporves the situation in the above mentioned USF scenario, by
first, under specific conditions, allowing selection of an EGPRS TBF and
then forcing it to transmit in EGPRS-GMSK (MCS1-4) so that the
USF-targeted MS can still decode the USF, while at the same time
providing more fairness by allowing the EGPRS TBF to transmit data.
The specific conditions mentioned above are, mainly, related to the fact
that once a DL data block has been sent, and hence a BSN was assigned to
it, it cannot be retransmitted later using another MCS, since lower
MCS1-4 wouldn't be able to contain higher MCS RLC payload.
The set of conditions could be expanded in the future by also selecting
the EGPRS TBF if retransmition is required and the block to be
retransmitted was originally transmitted as MCS1-4.

The assumption that TLLI 0x00000000 is invalid and can be used
as the initializer is wrong. Similar to TMSI, 0x00000000 is a
perfectly valid value, while 0xffffffff is reserved - use it.
According to 3GPP TS 23.003, section 2.4, a TMSI/P-TMSI with
all 32 bits equal to 1 is special and shall not be allocated by
the network. The reason is that it must be stored on the SIM,
where 'ff'O represents the erased state. According to section
2.6 of the same document, a local/foreign TLLI is derived from
P-TMSI, so the same rule applies to TLLI.
I manually checked and corrected all occurances of 'tlli' in the
code. The test expectations have been adjusted with this command:
$ find tests/ -name "*.err" | xargs sed -i "s/0x00000000/0xffffffff/g"
so there should be no behavior change. The only exception is
the 'TypesTest', where TLLI 0xffffffff is being encoded and
expected in the hexdump, so I regenerated the test output.

For instance if PCU received DL data to be sent to an MS from an SGSN,
and the MS is not currently cached in the PCU (because there's no TBF
active for it), it will page it and transmit the DL data to it.
The SGSN is capable of sending (EGPRS) MS Class information in that same
DL data message, so it's the one responsible for providing that
information if not available at the PCU.
In the PCU if we don't have information about that MS and SGSN didn't
provide us information about it, we cannot assume the MS is going to be
EGPRS capable and even less expecting a specific EGPRS MS class.
So let's drop this code.

Avoid passing tons of params to internal helper function
tbf_nel_dl_assignment() in order to either fetch again the ms object or
create a new one. Let's instead create the ms function earlier if needed
and fill it with all the discovered information prior to calling the
helper function. This provides cleaner code and also better log output.
This way we also avoid trying to fill the MS twice and unneeded
getter+setter for TA.
tbf::imsi(): There' always an ms, so simply forward call to
ms()->imsi().
We can also get rid of assign_imsi, since the modified code is the only
place where it's used and there's already some code in place there to
update the MS. We instead merge it with set_imsi and keep the
duplication code to catch possible bugs from callers.
Move merge_and_clear_ms from tbf class to GprsMS, where it really
belongs.

This is another step forward towards a more clear data model where a TBF
always has a MS object (which may be lacking some information, and at a
later point when more information is found, it may actually be a
duplicated MS object and hence one duplicate removed and the TBF moved
to the object being kept).
This helps for instance in removing duplicated information stored in
the TBF which is really per MS, like ms_class, ta, etc. Since there's
always a MS object there's no need to keep a duplicate in both classes
in case there's no MS object.
It can already be seen looking at unit test logging that this kind of
data model already provides better information.
Some unit test parts were needed to adapt to the new model too.

It's perfectly fine receiving a Resource Request message under some

To print issues only under non-expected circumstances, the function
rcv_resource_request need to be refactored:
* Destroying older UL_TBF is delayed because it is needed further

* When the old UL_TBF is FINISHED, it's an acceptable time to receive a
Resource request, so we check if that's the case and don't print a

Since commit 322456ed47 (and previous
one), it is expected that a tbf object ALWAYS has a MS object referend
to it, even if it's a temporary copy which will later be merged when
TLLI/IMSI is retrieved and it is found that several MS objects relate to
the same MS.
The purpose of set_tlli_from_ul was mainly to update TBF's ms() to
old_ms before going through usual tbf->update_ms() path. That's not
really needed since ms() is already always set and TBFs for old_ms are
already freed in update_ms() and children function.

In normal conditions ACKing of UL blocks is only sent every
SEND_ACK_AFTER_FRAMES (20) frames. Which means if CV=0 is received (and
hence no more packets are received) less than 20 frames before a lost,
the PCU won't ask for a retransmission and wait there until some timer
destroys the TBF.
This issue is shown by TTCN3 test PCU_Tests.ttcn
TC_ul_intermediate_retrans.
Unit tests triggering this condition are adapted. Some similar tests are
not triggering it because BSN/CV relation being used is totally wrong

This will allow for configuration of some of the timers by the user,
and allow him to inspect current values being used.
It will be also useful for TTCN3 tests which may want to test some of
the timers without having to wait for lots of time.
Timers are splitted into 2 groups: BTS controlled ones and PCU controlled
ones. The BTS controlled ones are read-only by the user (hence no
"timer" VTY command is provided to change them).
TbfTest.err output changes due to timers being set up correctly as a
consequence of changes. Other application such as pcu_emu.cpp and
pcu_main.cpp had to previosuly set the initial values by hand (and did
so), but apparently TbfTest.c was missing that part, which is now fixed

row 4 of Table 10.4.14a.1 of Spec 44.060 version 7.27.0 Release 7. Says
"The previous RLC data block contains a Upper Layer PDU, or a part of it,
that fills precisely the previous data block and for which there is no
length indicator in that RLC data block.
The current RLC data block contains a Upper Layer PDU that either fills
the current RLC data block precisely or continues in the next RLC data block."
So when we receive block with 1st LI: value=0 and Value of E bit in the
same octet as 1, we expect 2 chunks with 1st chunk as length as 0 and complete
and 2nd chunk as length non zero. But with this bug we see only 1 chunk causing
incorrect assembling
This issue has been fixed in this patch.

This patch adds a test case test_tbf_li_decoding which
expects a current bug with LI decoding for row 4 of Table 10.4.14a.1
in 44.060 version 7.27.0 Release 7.
The test's expectation is corrected along with the bug
fix in a subsequent commit

The test failure was introduced by 9bbe1600cc
"Fix Timing Advance handling": between patch build checking and patch
submission, a new section was added to TbfTest.cpp which also needs adjustment.

Earlier there was an incorrect encoding of PUAN when VQ is not equal
VR case for EGPRS UL RLC window. The PCU was encoding the same PUAN
message always irrespective of radio condition. This was a bottle neck
for performance testing. Which has been fixed in this patch.

This patch adds a test case which expects a current bug with EGPRS PUAN
encoding when VQ != VR. The test's expectation is corrected along with
the bugfix in a subsequent commit
Adds test_tbf_puan_urbb_len to describe the following bug:
EGPRS PUAN encoding disregards the urbb_len, leading to identical PUAN
messages regardless of the urbb_len.

During MCS upgradation such as MCS6->MCS9, 2 blocks which
were sent separately as MCS6, will be clubbed into one MCS9
block during retransmission. Same holds good for
MCS5->MCS7 transistion. During MCS reduction such as
MCS9->MCS6,2 blocks which were sent together will be
sent separately during the retransmission case.
Same is verified through the generated log file. Currently
MCS8->MCS6 transition is not supported. The retransmission
MCS is being calculated from Table 8.1.1.2 of TS 44.060.
The same test cases are also integration tested on Nuran
1.0 platform.

Adds support to find the puncturing scheme for retransmission
with MCS change, retransmission with no MCS change, transmission
case. Puncturing scheme selection for retransmission case with
MCS change is aligned with TS 44.060 9.3.2.1. Puncturing scheme
selection for retransmission without MCS change, fresh transmission
is aligned with TS 44.060 10.4.8a.3.1, 10.4.8a.2.1, 10.4.8a.1.1
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.
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
of blocks internally.
Note that this does not extend the parameter list accordingly and
just duplicates the BSN if these MCS are being used.

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.

The EGPRS support will need more information to encode the IMMEDIATE
ASSIGMENT. Instead of adding more parameters pass a pointer to the
TBF unless an SBA shall be done (indicated by tbf == NULL). All
values that can be derived from the TBF and are not needed for an SBA
are removed from the parameter list.
Return a negative value on error.

Currently the old TFI is always used as ID when a
PACKET DOWNLINK ASSIGNMENT is generated. This fails
if the old TBF has not been fully assigned yet. The
MS will then ignore the PDA.
This commit changes write_packet_downlink_assignment to accept
an additional parameter old_tfi_is_valid and uses the new TBF's
TLLI instead of the olf TFI if that parameter is set to false.

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.
Extend the encoder functions' parameters lists by an rrbp parameter.

Currently tbf->control_ts is used to look up an incoming poll
response. Since that may eventually change, poll timeouts could
theoretically happen in that case.
Store the real poll TS in tbf->poll_ts at all places where
tbf->poll_fn is set. Do not use tbf->control_ts to look up
outstanding polls.

Currently existing TBF can be reused after an MS has sent a RACH
request. Since the MS can be or most probably is in packet idle mode
in that case, the TBF are no longer usable even if they share the
PDCHs and the control TS with the new one.
There are occasional freezes where the MS does no longer react to
messages sent on the PACCH.
This change aborts all pending TBFs if a new TBF is or has been
established via RACH.

Currently the is a release() function which takes care of
statistics and shutdown of properly finished TBFs, but which
cannot be used for aborted TBFs.
This commit add an abort() method which handles unacked RLC blocks
as lost and doesn't start a release timer. This method will be
invoked by tbf_free() for downlink TBF.
