Minh-Quang Nguyen 1bcfa9aacf PCU: Fix TA adjustment 
Promblem:
 TA provided from L1 PH-DATA-IND is a relative amount of TA adjustment to actual TA
 being used for given TBF. The current TA update algorithm in PCU simply applies the relative
 amount of TA to given TBF but does not take into account of current TA.
 As a result, the PCU will request wrong TA jump for given TBF if the MS is moving away from
 BTS more than 2 km.

 Related issue: http://osmocom.org/issues/2611

Fixes:
- The PCU needs increase or decrease current TA of given TBF on receiving of relative
  amount of TA adjustment provided by PH-DATA-IND from L1
- The PCU needs to set absolute TA of given TBF on receiving absolute TA provided by
  PH-RA-IND from L1.

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.
