Description

When handing over from osmo-bts-trx/osmo-trx-lms into sysmobts, I'm seeing

DL1C <0006> ../../../git/src/common/rsl.c:269 (bts=0,trx=0,ts=6,ss=0) This PHY does not support lchan TSC 0 != BSIC-TSC 7, sending NACK

Of course, then all lchans end up B0RKEN

Looking at Abis in wireshark, The TSC is set to 0 in the CHANnel ACTIVation.

In lchan_fsm.c:725

lchan->activate.tsc = (lchan->activate.info.tsc >= 0) ? lchan->activate.info.tsc : gsm_ts_tsc(lchan->ts);

Adding some printf around here, I can see that
lchan->activate.info.tsc is indeed zero

The comment is
/* Use the TSC provided in the modification request, if any. Otherwise use the timeslot's configured * TSC. */

but for know I don't figure out where the modification request is coming from. maybe it makes some sense to neels

For now,
- lchan->activate.tsc = (lchan->activate.info.tsc >= 0) ? lchan->activate.info.tsc : gsm_ts_tsc(lchan->ts);
+ lchan->activate.tsc = (lchan->activate.info.tsc >= 1) ? lchan->activate.info.tsc : gsm_ts_tsc(lchan->ts);

for example,
restores handover for me.

The comment should have said "Use the TSC provided in the activation request",
it's a copy paste error from the TSC code for Channel Mode Modify. (Patch to fix is out)

- lchan->activate.tsc = (lchan->activate.info.tsc >= 0) ? lchan->activate.info.tsc : gsm_ts_tsc(lchan->ts);
+ lchan->activate.tsc = (lchan->activate.info.tsc >= 1) ? lchan->activate.info.tsc : gsm_ts_tsc(lchan->ts);

It should actually be >= 0, gsm_data.h:627:

/* TSC to use, or -1 for automatically determining the TSC to use. Valid range is 0 to 7, as described in 3GPP * TS 45.002. */
int tsc;

But I see that the channel activation during handover fails to set tsc to -1.
Goodness, thanks for spotting this, I pretty much broke handover with the TSC refactoring!

I tweaked ttcn3 tests to detect the ill TSC in handover, and submitted a patch
to fix the TSC and help prevent future errors like this:

those two patches are merged - does this mean this issue can be closed?
