Since both TA and AGC loops should be implemented in transceiver,
this TODO is meaningless. Let's drop it.

As there is no any order relation between logical channels, it's
better to use the linuxlist API instead of talloc array.
Change-Id: I5a78582c77ed1ab33817d240e065dc4cd4708199
Previously, when resetting or deleting a timeslot, we did not
deactivate the logical channels, relaying on talloc hierarchical
nature. This approach may cause some problems, e.g. on embedded
systems with emulated talloc API.
Change-Id: I8c34c793df87bd8c79b7bf1f05b949faf10520e8
Let's assume that a logical channel, which was already in use,
is activated again for a new connection. As we don't reset the
state variables, such as burst masks or ciphering data, it may
cause an unexpected behaviour.
In order to avoid this, let's always reset the logical channel
state after deactivation.

Initially it was expected that a TCH transmit queue could contain
TCH and FACCH primitives only. But there are also SACCH primitives,
which are also being stored there.
So, let's drop the assertations from the sched_prim_dequeue_tch(),
and return NULL if nothing was found.

This change implements the A5/X ciphering support transparently
for the logical channel handlers. In other words, a DL burst is
deciphered before being passed to a handler, and an UL burst is
ciphered before being sent to transceiver.
The implementation mostly relays on the libosmocore's A5 API.
Change-Id: Ib53418d8c0f394fdece09cf5cc240887cb0bb5af
Having a possibility to preprocess UL burst before sending to
transceiver is required for the further ciphering support
integration and probably some other tasks.

Previously, the L1CTL_CRYPTO_REQ message contained only a ciphering
algorithm and actual Kc key to be used. The key length was
calculated manually using the MSGB API.
Let's avoid manual calculations here, as it may cause unexpected
behavior if the message structure is changed. Also, let's fill
the UL header with minimal information about a channel, which
is going to be encrypted.

Previously we used to compare two consecutive first primitives,
taken from a transmit queue. This approach may cause some delay,
which is critical for FACCH e.g. in case of handover.
Let's walk through a whole transmit queue to find a pair of
both FACCH frames, and only then decide what to do.
Change-Id: I925cca77bfaa255dd095bc882c901d41c9bc4633
Previously, each lchan handler used to obtain and delete primitives
from a timeslot's tranmit queue itself. This approach entails many
potential problems and bugs:
- The lchan handlers shall not do that by definition, they
should encode and decode frames according to GSM 05.03.
- In some cases (e.g. TCH), a single transmit queue may contain
primitives of different types (e.g. TCH, FACCH and SACCH). At
the same time, the lchan handlers don't care and don't even
know about each other. So, this could cause an unexpected
behaviour in some cases.
This change separates all primitive management routines,
providing a new API for obtaining and dropping them.
"Write programs that do one thing and do it well."

It's good to write, keep and make the source code as much modular
as possible. So, Tte primitive management code was separated to
the 'sched_prim.c' and going to be extended in the near future.

Both SACCH and FACCH messages have the same 23-byte length, both
are being queued together within a single transimt queue. So,
previously a SACCH frame could be picked by TCH burst handler,
and then sent as a FACCH frame. Let's fix this.
A FACCH primitive may have one of the TRXC_TCH* logical channel
types, while SACCH primitives have one of the TRXC_SACCH*.

Previously, we used to drop a frame if decoding wasn't successful.
This way, the higher layers didn't even know about that, so the
local counters and Measurement Reports were incomplete.
This change makes scheduler to forward L2 frames in any case,
setting the num_biterr for each of them. In case of decoding
error, a dummy (payload filled by 0x00) L2 frame will be sent.
Change-Id: I31011d8f3ca8b9a12474cd0bc653faed18391033
This change implements basic TCH/F lchan handlers for both data
reception and transmission. Only FACCH (signaling), FR and EFR
payloads are supported at the moment.
Change-Id: If6b0eaede2b484484d2a824e7219ff04483266a1
Previously, TCH frames coming from L1 were reordered to the RTP
format. Moreover, the implementation had a few problems:
- L1CTL is not the best place for such manipulations;
- payloads with other than FR codec were corrupted.
Let's use RTP-ordered payloads on the L1CTL interface,
performing TCH frame reordering at the firmware.
Please note, that actual FR reordering was moved to the firmware
as is, without any codec determination. This could be fixed in
a separate change.

There were some BTS specific variables, which are meaningless.
This change cleans them up, and also groups some measurement,
encryption, and AMR specific variables into sub-structures.

Since the 32e5641d, the gsm0503_rach_encode() is deprecated, and
the library provides new API with extended (11-bit) RACH support.

The time at which the phone is allowed to transmit a burst of
traffic within a timeslot must be adjusted accordingly to prevent
collisions with adjacent users. Timing Advance (TA) is the
variable controlling this adjustment. The TA value is normally
between 0 and 63, with each step representing an advance of
one bit period (approximately 3.69 microseconds).
As trxcon doesn't perform actual burst transmission, this value
needs to be forwarded to the transceiver, which will take care
about the timings.
Change-Id: Ia8c0848827ab2b4cd7cf1efe128b28d5c06ec84e
The 'SETMAXDLY' command is used on the BTS side to limit maximal
Time of Arrival for access bursts. As we don't receive RACH
bursts on the MS side, the command is useless.
The 'SETRXGAIN' command is used on the BTS side to set initial
receive gain value for TRX. On the MS side it's possible to set
that parameter via command-line options of TRX.
Change-Id: I3e61b4b48193004cdcb241cefabb44c12db93120
In order to get the transceiver more time to process bursts,
the L1 scheduler should process the frames and send the bursts
in advance (a few frames before), like OsmoBTS does. By default,
the advance value is 20 frames, but this can be adjusted using a
new command line option of trxcon '-f'.
Change-Id: Ic258a169f3554f931d6277e18ca060d029b77f32
This change introduces a new tool for sending existing bursts from
file or standard input either to L1 (OsmoBTS or OsmocomBB) or to
TRX (OsmoTRX and GR-GSM TRX).

Sometimes it's important to use different CTRL port, for example
when OsmoTRX is running at the same time. This change adds the
corresponding command line options and help message.

Since 8c4f5457 in libosmocore there are some limitations on FSM
and FSM instance names. This change adjusts the names of both
l1ctl_fsm and trx_fsm instances.

There is no (performance) reason to use fprintf instead of LOGP.
Second one provides more useful information, such as a file name
and a line number.

For some reasons, the function, which is used to flush a queue of
transmit primitives, was intended to flush a list of msgb instances
instead of trx_ts_prim, so memory was being cleaned incorrectly.
Moreover, the items weren't actually removed from queue.

The training sequences, data / traffic indication and confirmation
helpers are used by several lchan handlers, like xCCC and TCH. It
would be better to have them all declared within a shared header.

The l1ctl_info_dl header is expected to be a part of a
L1CTL_DATA_CONF message, but was missing previously.
Change-Id: Ia8dfaed924fd84395ba9ae539164eaa94f52d30b
This change introduces shared primitive management functions,
exposed from the l1ctl_rx_data_req() implementation:
- sched_trx_init_prim() - allocates memory for a new primitive
and its payload. Initializes primitive's header, setting
the logical channel type and the payload length. After
initialization, the talloc context of a primitive is
a trx instance, which passed as the first argument.
- sched_trx_push_prim() - decodes the timeslot index from
chan_nr and pushes a primitive to its transimt queue.
The talloc context of primitive is changed to the
parent trx_ts instance after queuing.
Both functions will be used for handling both L1CTL_TRAFFIC_REQ
and L1CTL_RACH_REQ.
