Certain phones with GPRS capabilities will fail to
initiate calls with the following error. No call output
will be present in the Asterisk log.

1265648543.0257 NOTICE 3073350512 DCCHDispatch.cpp:144:DCCHDispatcher: UnexpectedMessage
The issue and patch were discussed on the openbts-discuss
mailing list.
"David is right that openBTS does not emit any GPRS beacon,
so the behaviour is triggered from mobile station which
believe that there has been some GPRS before (i.e. in it's
old location area).
Unfortunately openBTS does not simply ignore this L3 RR
GPRS Suspension Request, instead a expected message flow
sequence (i.e. during call setup) is terminated with an
exception.
However we created a small patch against openbts-2.5.3
Lacassine to really ignore the L3 message. Feel free to
distribute it upstream to the community."

Milestone are working fine with those changes. They had

If no bursts were received over a long enough duration
then the threshold would roll into negative territory.
The energy detection is based on a comparison with the
squared threshold, so all handsets would become
effectively barred after a certain period of
inactivity.
In theory, this bug also exists in the mainline tree,
but there the daughterboard receive gain is fixed at
max, which always allows the ADC to generate sufficient
noise to trigger the energy dectector and keep the
system in a valid steady state.
To fix, simply add a negative value check like those
already in place for other locations.

UHD will internally accept floats with a range of +/-1.0,
which corresponds to a 16-bit signed integer range of
apporximately +/- 32000. Set the default amplitude to .3,
which is a safe value agaist saturation elsewhere in the
transmit chain.
The non-UHD maximum amplitude is unchanged at 13500.
Remove digital gain control because it's unnecessary and
causes extra load on enbedded systems.

This is primarily a minor refactor with the exception

In these cases, quit without trying as resistance is
futile.

Overnight testing shows that this shouldn't be required

The output of the modulator or resampler is scaled and
converted from floating point to fixed point. The scaling
factor is the leftover dB in RF attention (relative to max
transmit power), which is handled prior to the integer

non-UHD installations.

With UHD b4fc0d61bb6cbd1a5614745bab9aeb0abc22cb6f
Sample clock will reset to zero after an overrun. Earlier
versions may hang the FPGA, which is non-recoverable,
requiring a manual image reload or reboot.
If reset to zero, attempt to kick the sample clock to the
last properly received timestamp value. At this point,
there will be a timing continuity jump, which will drop
connections, but transmit and receive chains should be
aligned allowing for re-establishment.

Utilize start and stop burst flags more effectively to
manage interaction with the FPGA. This makes communication
slightly more explicit, though it is not expected to
have a major effect. Also, lower the alignment messages
to DEBUG, and raise the asynchronous messages to INFO.
In other words, report the underrun, but not the handling
of it.

On the E100, and possibly other systems, OpenBTS seg faults
at startup. The cause is a null reference to the global
logging file descriptor occuring due to an initializer order
dependency, which is not guaranteed across compilation
units.
When this occurs, check for for null and set the output to
stdout.

Though the receive loop ultimately drives the GSM clock,
it does not have any priority because it runs as a
separate thread from the trasmit loop. The transmit
has priority because it starts the UHD device, where
priority scheduling is enabled. The result is frequent
underruns, which occur regardless of buffer size tuning.
To address this, break out and expose the priority
setting so that it can be called from the radioInterface
at the start of a new thread.
Tested on a modest Intel Core 2 Duo tablet running
Linux 2.6.33.7.2-rt30, this reduced underruns down to
near zero.

Recent UHD firmware for the USRP2/N210 replaces the MicroBlaze
with a slower ZPU in addition to changes to the control
transactions. The effect is less predictable reading of the

with a fixed interval instead of relying on reading the
