Description

This was never tested and we should check the status + fix it with OsmoBTS.

Uplink DTX is important to reduce possible uplink interference, but even more so to conserve battery power of the mobile station.

To be more specific, this feature includes:
  • parsing of the DTX related RSL/OML bits/IEs (DTX is under control from the BSC, and it can chose to activate/deactivate it dynamically, AFAIR)
  • activation of the logical channel towards the MS with DTX enabled or disabled (if BTS needs to do something here; might also be the case that all messages are fully provided by the BSC)
  • ensure that the processing of uplink measurements (signal quality / BER) into RSL uplink measurement reports is handled correctly
  • ensure that LAPDm is working correctly. LAPDm should not be notified that bad frames have been received during periods where DTXu has muted some bursts/blocks. If we did that, it would look like a much higher actual error rate than we have.
  • ensure that signalling in both direction works as expected, for both SAPI0 on FACCH as well as SAPI3 (SMS) on SACCH
  • ensure that voice handling on the traffic channels works as expected, particularly in terms of the RTP integration for both HR and FR
    • AMR e.g. will transmit SID frames and change the transmission interval of RTP frames

It might make sense to compare our behavior with that of an ip.access nanoBTS in order to have protocol-level compatibility.

Actions #14

With RTP ts patches (currently under review) DTXu is working fine on sysmobts.
Remaining items:
- check lapdm
- check signaling
- fix interoperability with nanobts

The patches are pushed to gerrit/users/max/dtx-test branch and are ready for review/testing. Note support is implemented for sysmoBTS (updated firmware required for AMR tests) and LC15 BTS models. AMR-HR support is incomplete which might result in audible disturbances while testing.

Note: testing require fix for libosmo-abis which is under review in gerrit: 217.
