ARFCN is already part of TRX struct so there's no need to supply it
explicitly in a separate parameter. I've tested and those are the same
anyway.

Currently the values Bmax/R default MS are computed under the
assumption than min(4, N_PDCH) DL slots are allocated for an MS, even
if multislot assignment is not enabled.
This commit changes the computation to assume 1 DL slot if algorithm
A is selected or the dynamic algorithm is used and has disabled
multislot assigment due to high load.

The idea behind this meta algorithm is to automatically select one of
the other algorithms based on the system state. Basically algorithm B
will be selected if the PDCH usage is low to improve throughput and
latency. Algorithm A will be selected to support more concurrent MS.
This commit adds a first simple state-less version of this algorithm
that always tries B first and only if that fails A is tried
afterwards.
The following VTY command is added to the 'pcu' node:
- alloc-algorithm dynamic

Currently the TFI and the TRX have to be determined before the actual TBF
allocation function is called, passing TFI and TRX number as
parameters. This does fit to TFI reuse for different slots, since
this were tightly coupled with the slot selection.
This commit just moves the TFI selection into the alloc_algorithm
functions. The tfi parameter is removed from the the TFI alloc
functions. The trx parameter is changed into use_trx to optionally
limit the trx selection (same semantics like in tfi_find_free).

Currently the old TBF (either uplink or downlink) is passed around at
TBF allocation mainly to get information about the MS. To implement
more complex allocation algorithms, the MS object itself will be
needed anyway.
This commit replaces the old_tbf arguments by MS object arguments.

The bandwidth calculation as well as loss report is only done for DL TBF
so move everything related to that in there.

This approach is somehow flawed. We need/want to debug problems on
systems with real traffic and re-compiling it with debug_diagram
is not an option. All internal logging needs to be expressive enough
so we can understand what is going on (e.g. create a script to
post-process the output).
Move the method into the PDCH. Extract the finding of TLLI into a
new class called Decoding. Move the assemble and forward LLC frames
into the TBF as it is poking in the internals of the TBF.
The list belongs to the BTS. This makes cleaning this up more easy
and establishes a hierachy of resources that start from the BTS. The
debug_diagram code is now broken.
The PollController is a friend of the SBAController and is allowed
to access the internal list. The list is hidden from everyone else.
This is done because the calculation of timeout should belong into
the PollController and not into the SBAController.
Only the gprs_rlcmac_pdch will manipulate the paging list now. There
can be various more refactorings of the code but they can be done
later. E.g. on memory allocation failure we can continue instead
of leaving the code, we should also set any_tbf only after things
have been paged.
Rely on packet_paging_request returning NULL in case the queue
is empty. We should move the write_packet_paging_request into
a separate file/object as well.
Compared to the previous code there will be a branch to get the
global pointer so the code will be slightly slower than the previous
version but it allows us to start creating objects but still use
the code from C. It is best approach I have found so far.
One downside of C++ is that by default talloc will not be used
(unless we override the new operator to use talloc. Right now
we need to memset the C data structure by hand. The benefit of
enforcing a better structure should is more important though.
Remove the global state from gprs_rlcmac_trigger_downlink_assignment
and walk up to the pcu_l1_if.cpp where I find the timeout handling
that should be part of the SBA and TBF functionality. In terms of
hierachies things start to be more clear.
There should be the BTS object. That holds the SBA and TBF Controllers
that can allocate TBFs and SBAs and will handle the timeout polling
for a BTS.
Global state makes mocking/writing tests more difficult. Continue
by removing direct usage of the bts and adding it as pointer to
the function calls (showing the true dependencies of the functions)
This is the begin of a long march of turning tbf into a C++ class
and properly hiding the secrets inside this implementation instead
of having it spread across various different files.
For mocking/unit-testing/emulation (and a dual trx-systems) having
global state is quite bad. Cut back on the usage of the global
struct gprs_rlcmac_bts. It also makes the complexity of certain
routines more clear.
