Pau Espin 13961c9b7a bts_pch_timer: Fix timer working only for MI type IMSI
This commit actually addresses 2 errors:

1- gprs_bssgp_pcu_rx_paging_ps() called gprs_rlcmac_paging_request()
with MI which can be either TMSI or IMSI, and the later always called
bts_pch_timer_start() passing mi->imsi regardless of the MI type. Hence,
trash was being accessed & stored into bts_pch_timer structures if MI
type used for paging was TMSI.

2- When the MS received the PS paging on CCCH and requests an UL TBF, it
will send some data. If one phase access is used for whatever reason,
the IMSI may not be yet available in the GprsMs object since we never
received it (and we'd only have it by means of PktResourceReq). Hence,
let's better first try to match the paging by TLLI/TMSI if set in both
places, and otherwise use the IMSI.

osmo-pcu - Osmocom Packet Control Unit

This repository contains a C/C++-language implementation of a GPRS Packet Control Unit, as specified by ETSI/3GPP. It is part of the Osmocom Open Source Mobile Communications project.

The Packet Control Unit is terminating the Layer 2 (RLC/MAC) of the GPRS radio interface and adapting it to the Gb Interface (BSSGP+NS Protocol) towards the SGSN.

The PCU interfaces with the physical layer of the radio interface. OsmoPCU is typically used co-located with the BTS, specifically OsmoBTS. For legacy BTSs that run proprietary sotware without an interface to OsmoPCU, you may also co-locate it with the BSC, specifically OsmoBSC

Homepage

The official homepage of the project is https://osmocom.org/projects/osmopcu/wiki/OsmoPCU

GIT Repository

You can clone from the official osmo-pcu.git repository using

git clone git://git.osmocom.org/osmo-pcu.git

There is a cgit interface at http://git.osmocom.org/osmo-pcu/

Documentation

We provide a user manual as well as a vty reference manual

Please note that a lot of the PCU configuration actually happens inside the BSC, which passes this configuration via A-bis OML to the BTS, which then in turn passes it via the PCU socket into OsmoPCU.
