2017-11-16PCU: Fix TA adjustmentMinh-Quang Nguyen1-2/+3
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.

2017-08-18EDGE: Fix UL link adaptation.Minh-Quang Nguyen1-0/+1
We have seen that UL MCS5- MCS9 link adaptation has not been implemented in current PCU implementation. If the MS slowly moves far away from the BTS, the UL MCS will always stick at MCS9 no matter UL link quality values leading to poor data service experience. The UL MCS is expected to adapt from MCS9 -> MCSx due to bad UL quality. Below PCU traces indicate that UL MCS is quickly increasing to MCS9 (max MCS 9 was used in this test) and it never changes to other UL MCS due zero thresholds. <0004> gprs_ms.cpp:670 MS (IMSI ): Link quality 23dB (23dB) left window [0, 0], modifying uplink CS level: MCS-6 -> MCS-7 <0004> gprs_ms.cpp:670 MS (IMSI 000): Link quality 23dB (23dB) left window [0, 0], modifying uplink CS level: MCS-7 -> MCS-8 <0004> gprs_ms.cpp:670 MS (IMSI 000): Link quality 23dB (23dB) left window [0, 0], modifying uplink CS level: MCS-8 -> MCS-9 Change-Id: I9272c337ad6399da4a47cc6e2736e25f24e099d8

2017-07-21Introduce GSMTAP categoriesHarald Welte1-3/+22
When looking at GSMTAP output so far, one is easily overwhelmed by way too much information being presented. A lot of is consists of DUMMY frames, which are probably of lowest interest, ever. A concept similar to the "gsmtap-sapi" of OsmoBTS is introduced, by which the user can configure which particular categories (uplink or downlink control or data, gprs or egprs, ...) he actually wants to see in his logs.

2017-03-05BTS: Convert relative frame numbers to absolute frame numbersPhilipp Maier1-0/+2
The implementation of the method rcv_rach() in class BTS, restores the absolute frame number of the incoming RACH-Request by using the relative frame number (RFn = Fn mod 42432) from the rach request and the already known internal absolute frame number m_cur_fn, which is continusly updated by the CCU interface. In some rare cases, a RACH request might be received by the BTS, a very short time before the frame number wraps in its 42432. Depending on the PCU location, RACH request might be received by the BSC, which forwards it to the PCU. It is then likely that, while the RACH request is being forwarded to the PCU, the PCU internal absolute frame number wraps before the RACH can be processed. The relative frame number from the rach request would then be interpreted as if it were received after the wrapping of the internal frame number modulos. This commit adds logic to detect and resolve this race condition. Also a unit test is added to check some cornercases. Change-Id: I74f00c11e5739d49f370ce6c357149e81d9aa759

2016-08-25Add data structure to handle SPB for EGPRS DLAravind Sirsikar1-0/+4
Modify the header files with necessary data structure to handle Split block for EGPRS DL TBF. The EGPRS resegmentation feature allows PCU to retransmit RLC blocks of HeaderType1, HeaderType2 by segmenting them to 2 HeaderType3 blocks(Example MCS5 will be retransmitted as 2 MCS2 blocks). Table 10.4.8b.2 of 44.060 explains the possible values of SPB in HeadrType3 for DL direction. The PCU decides to retransmit the blocks by resegmenting it based on Table 8.1.1.1 of 44.060. The retransmission MCS is calculated based on current MCS of the Block and demanded MCS by PCU. Section 10.3a.3.3 of 44.060 shows the HeadrType3 with SPB field present in it Change-Id: I57673e53a9da2affa7e8aaa6551ac4b271c3d525

2016-02-08edge: Disable GPRS/EGPRS mixed modeJacob Erlbeck1-0/+3
Currently the plain 'egprs' command enables EGPRS but doesn't prevent phones from being served in GPRS mode if they do not support EGPRS. This involves complex frame allocation implementations in dynamic mode, especially if 8PSK is being used. This is due to the inability of non-EGPRS phone to decode 8PSK USF and ES/P altogether. Since polling has a higher priority than USF, collisions will have to be prevented by the PCU by never using an GPRS USF if it refers to a FN that is already being used for polling. This commit just disables mixed usage by ignoring GPRS-only request if EGPRS is enabled. The following VTY command (config-pcu node) is changed: egprs -> egprs only Sponsored-by: On-Waves ehf
2016-02-08edge: Handle EGPRS PACKET DOWNLINK ACK NACKJacob Erlbeck1-0/+1
Currently this message is ignored. Support decoding and handling of this message. Use a bitvec for the decoder that just represents a BSN sequence without any encoding details (first bit -> first BSN). Return the corresponding BSN range (snsmod(bsn_begin + bits_in_bitvec) = bsn_end), so snsmod(bsn_end-1) is the last BSN if there is at least 1. If bsn_begin == bsn_end, no BSNs has been added. Note that this bitvec is not yet used for RBB handling. It just calls the old rcvd_dl_ack with a faked (all bits are 1) RBB map. Sponsored-by: On-Waves ehf

2015-08-28l1: Use the FN of all data_ind/ra_ind DSP messagesJacob Erlbeck1-1/+1
Currently all of these messages are discarded if they are assumend to be caused by noise. But even in these cases, the FN and TN values which are added by the DSP are valid. So these can be used to update the current_frame value. The osmo-bts sets the fBFILevel of a physical channel to -200dB if it is used for PDTCH or PACCH which is the case for all PDCH. This way a data_ind or ra_ind message is already send at least once per block period (4 frames) per PDCH. These messages are passed to either handle_ph_data_ind or handle_ph_ra_ind even if they contain garbage data. The ra_ind messages are sometimes sent a few frames earlier than data_ind messages using the same frame. This commit adds calls to update the current_frame value based on all of these messages before they are discarded. The FN taken from ra_ind are passed with an increased max_delay (5) to compensate for early ra_ind messages. Sponsored-by: On-Waves ehf

2015-08-28poll: Use the data_ind FN as time source for current frameJacob Erlbeck1-0/+2
The FN of the data_ind taken from the DSP are monotonic, so latency does not affect the detection of poll timeouts if these FN are used. If the FN is larger than a poll_fn value, it can safely be assumed that the poll response will not arrive later on. Currently a max_delay of 60 frames is used, which has the drawback that additional ~250ms will pass until a lost ACK is detected. Using the data_ind's FN alone breaks the poll timeout detection if there are no other MS sending data blocks. This commit adds BTS::set_current_block_frame_number that is called with the FN taken from data_ind messages. The max_delay is set to 0 which removes the additional delay, when this FN is used to detect poll timeouts. So the average additional delay decreases with the number of data_ind per time. The current_frame is updated unless it seems to have been updated already (assumed if 0 < cur_fn - block_fn < 500). Thus the time_ind has still priority to update the current_frame value.

2015-07-21llc: Use CoDel to drop packages from the LLC queueJacob Erlbeck1-0/+4
Currently packets are only dropped if they have reached their maximum life time. This leads to LLC queues being constantly filled under load, increasing the latency up to the maximum life time. This kind of bufferbloat hinders TCP's congestion avoidance algorithms. To keep the queues short, the CoDel active queue management algorithm can be used. This commit changes to llc_dequeue method to apply the CoDel algorithm to selectively drop LLC frames before they passed to the TBF layer to be encoded in BSNs. This feature is currently disabled by default. The CoDel state is managed per MS since the LLC queues are also kept in the MS objects. Note that there is still some buffering in the TBF objects, in the worst case (CS4) 3.5kByte + LLC-MTU octets are stored there. The resulting additional packet delay is not (yet) taken into account for CoDel. Also note that configuration changes are applied to new MS objects only. The following VTY commands are added to the 'pcu' node: - queue codel activates CoDel, the interval is selected by the implementation - queue codel interval <1-1000> activates CoDel with a fixed interval given in centiseconds (10ms-10s) - no queue codel deactivates CoDel Which interval value to use is still an open issue. For high speed links (e.g. Ethernet), CoDel suggests 100ms. For slower links, the expected RTT is recommended. The current implementation uses a default value of 2000ms. Measurements: Note that the following measurements depend on several other factors, most notably the interaction with the SGSN's flow control. They are just examples to give an idea how CoDel might influence some parameters. The measurements have been done with a single E71, first with a running ping only (Idle), then with an additional TCP download of a 360k file (Busy). The CoDel interval was set to 1s. - Idle : ping ~400ms, avg queue delay 0ms, dropped 0 - Busy, No CoDel: ping ~6s, avg queue delay 4-6s, dropped 0, scheduled 948, duration 54s - Busy, CoDel: ping 500-1500ms, avg queue delay ~600ms, dropped 77, scheduled 1040, duration 60s More measurements with two MS downloading in parallel (two independant measurements per case). - Busy, No CoDel: dropped 0, scheduled 1883, duration 121s dropped 19, scheduled 2003, duration 133s - Busy, CoDel: dropped 22, scheduled 1926, duration 116s dropped 22, scheduled 1955, duration 108s Sponsored-by: On-Waves ehf
2015-07-16alloc: Make alloc_algorithm_dynamic statefulJacob Erlbeck1-0/+2
Currently there is no persistent state being used in alloc_algorithm_dynamic. So algorithm B is even used in persistent high usage scenarios. If there are many active TBFs, multislot assigments are not fair, because MS of a "higher" multislot class get higher troughputs. On the other hand, as long as all PDCH are busy no bandwidth will be wasted even if all MS use algorithm A. This commit modifies alloc_algorithm_dynamic to disable algorithm B when that call fails. It then keeps it disabled until there is a single PDCH which is idle (it is considered idle, if there is at most one active DL TBF assigned to it). Sponsored-by: On-Waves ehf
