Add support for Access Control Class ramping.
Access Control Class (ACC) ramping is used to slowly make the cell available to an increasing number of MS. This avoids overload at startup time in cases where a lot of MS would discover the new cell and try to connect to it all at once. Ramping behaviour can be configured with new VTY commands: [no] access-control-class-ramping access-control-class-ramping-step-interval (<30-600>|dynamic) access-control-class-ramping-step-size (<1-10>) (The minimum and maximum values for these parameters are hard-coded, but could be changed if they are found to be inadequate.) The VTY command 'show bts' has been extended to display the current ACC ramping configuration. By default, ACC ramping is disabled. When enabled, the default behaviour is to enable one ACC per ramping step with a 'dynamic' step interval. This means the ramping interval (time between steps) is scaled to the channel load average of the BTS, i.e. the number of used vs. available channels measured over a certain amount of time. Below is an example of debug log output with ACC ramping enabled, while many 'mobile' programs are concurrently trying to connect to the network via an osmo-bts-virtual BTS. Initially, all ACCs are barred, and then only one class is allowed. Then the current BTS channel load average is consulted for scheduling the next ramping step. While the channel load average is low, ramping proceeds faster, and while it is is high, ramping proceeds slower: (bts=0) ACC RAMP: barring Access Control Class 0 (bts=0) ACC RAMP: barring Access Control Class 1 (bts=0) ACC RAMP: barring Access Control Class 2 (bts=0) ACC RAMP: barring Access Control Class 3 (bts=0) ACC RAMP: barring Access Control Class 4 (bts=0) ACC RAMP: barring Access Control Class 5 (bts=0) ACC RAMP: barring Access Control Class 6 (bts=0) ACC RAMP: barring Access Control Class 7 (bts=0) ACC RAMP: barring Access Control Class 8 (bts=0) ACC RAMP: barring Access Control Class 9 (bts=0) ACC RAMP: allowing Access Control Class 0 (bts=0) ACC RAMP: step interval set to 30 seconds based on 0% channel load average (bts=0) ACC RAMP: allowing Access Control Class 1 (bts=0) ACC RAMP: step interval set to 354 seconds based on 59% channel load average (bts=0) ACC RAMP: allowing Access Control Class 2 (bts=0) ACC RAMP: step interval set to 30 seconds based on 0% channel load average (bts=0) ACC RAMP: allowing Access Control Class 3 (bts=0) ACC RAMP: step interval set to 30 seconds based on 0% channel load average Port of osmo-bsc commit a5c1e8727c391bc56847a00b2ecc08787573b91f Change-Id: Idd5c4fd7ea2e10086d9b26deee3a71f9469d1280 Related: OS#2591
