We have seen that UL MCS5- MCS9 link adaptation has not been implemented in current PCU implementation.
If the MS slowly moves far away from the BTS, the UL MCS will always stick at MCS9 no matter UL link quality values leading to poor data service experience.
The UL MCS is expected to adapt from MCS9 -> MCSx due to bad UL quality.
Below PCU traces indicate that UL MCS is quickly increasing to MCS9 (max MCS 9 was used in this test) and it never changes to other UL MCS due zero thresholds.

When looking at GSMTAP output so far, one is easily overwhelmed by way
too much information being presented. A lot of is consists of DUMMY
frames, which are probably of lowest interest, ever.
A concept similar to the "gsmtap-sapi" of OsmoBTS is introduced, by
which the user can configure which particular categories (uplink or
downlink control or data, gprs or egprs, ...) he actually wants to
see in his logs.

The fix in 0fb294a8dd was only partially
valid, as it unconditionally used $includedir, without any prefix. This
polluted the include path with host include files in cross-compiling
builds.
Let's take a different approach and simply define LITECELL15_CFLAGS
(similar to what pkgconfig does), which makes the "-I" go away if no
--with-litecell15 has been specified.

Fixes: Coverity CID 169684
Commit b78a4a6dfe tried to fix a NULL dereference
error, but apparently was overly eager to return, because it looked like all
code paths would dereference the tbf.
In fact the code path further above, for msg != NULL, has "always" dereferenced
the tbf, but the lower code path, the one effecting the paging, has only
started to dereference tbf since shortly before the overly eager fix: in
da7250ad2c, to "update the dl ctrl msg counter
for ms". It seems that this tbf dereference in the paging path is bogus and the
cause for the segfault that made me write the early exit fix.
Fix that fix:
Do not exit early if tbf == NULL, stay in there to be able to reach the paging
path below.
In case of a message to be sent, assume that tbf is present, and verify: print
an error message and abort if there is a msg but no tbf, so that we will see
the error if I'm wrong there. If a tbf is missing, free the msg.
In case of no message, go on to send pending pagings, but do not attempt to
count ctrl messages for a tbf -- IIUC there will never be a tbf if we're
paging.
This should avoid segfaults while keeping PACCH paging intact.
Tweak a comment for and add a blank line above the paging section.

The implementation of the method rcv_rach() in class BTS, restores
the absolute frame number of the incoming RACH-Request by using
the relative frame number (RFn = Fn mod 42432) from the rach
request and the already known internal absolute frame number
m_cur_fn, which is continusly updated by the CCU interface.
In some rare cases, a RACH request might be received by the BTS,
a very short time before the frame number wraps in its 42432.
Depending on the PCU location, RACH request might be received
by the BSC, which forwards it to the PCU. It is then likely
that, while the RACH request is being forwarded to the PCU, the
PCU internal absolute frame number wraps before the RACH
can be processed. The relative frame number from the rach
request would then be interpreted as if it were received after
the wrapping of the internal frame number modulos.
This commit adds logic to detect and resolve this race condition.
Also a unit test is added to check some cornercases.

In libosmocore, my patch was merged to master a bit too soon. To accomodate the

The rach request contains a relative frame number (Fn % 42432),
while BTS::rcv_rach() accepts the full frame number only.
Since the BTS is always aware of the full frame number this is
not a problem. But for BSC co-located PCU schemes it is a problem
since the rach request only contains the relative frame number
as mentioned above.
The pcu continusly receives frame number updates with the GSM time
indication message. It is simple to re-calculate the full frame
number from that information.
This patch makes BTS::rcv_rach() compatible with relative frame
numbers, while not breaking the compatibility for full frame
numbers

When Packet resource request is received, PCU will generate the
packet access reject if no resources are present. The encoding is done
based on section 7.1.3.2.1 and 8.1.2.5 of 44.060 version 7.27.0 Release 7.
This patch also includes the test case to validate the generated
packet access reject message.
This patch is integration tested on Osmo-trx setup with Ettus B210 board

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.
