Description
The test verifying measurement results for TCH/H is failing consistently at all time.
MTC@nataraja: Local verdict of PTC TC_meas_res_sign_tchh(6): fail (none -> fail) reason: ""BTS_Tests.ttcn:1945 : Received unspecific MEAS RES { msg_disc := { msg_group := RSL_MDISC_DCHAN (4), transparent := false }, msg_type := RSL_MT_MEAS_RES (40), ies := { { iei := RSL_IE_CHAN_NR (1), body := { chan_nr := { u := { lm := { tag := '0001'B, sub_chan := 0 } }, tn := 5 } } }, { iei := RSL_IE_MEAS_RES_NR (27), body := { meas_res_nr := 1 } }, { iei := RSL_IE_UPLINK_MEAS (25), body := { uplink_meas := { len := 3, rfu := '0'B, dtx_d := false, rxlev_f_u := 10, reserved1 := '00'B, rxlev_s_u := 10, reserved2 := '00'B, rxq_f_u := 7, rxq_s_u := 7, supp_meas_info := omit } } }, { iei := RSL_IE_BS_POWER (4), body := { bs_power := { reserved := 0, epc := false, fpc := false, power_level := 0 } } }, { iei := RSL_IE_L1_INFO (10), body := { l1_info := { ms_power_lvl := 7, fpc := false, reserved := 0, actual_ta := 0 } } }, { iei := RSL_IE_L3_INFO (11), body := { l3_info := { len := 6, payload := '061539390000'O } } }, { iei := RSL_IE_MS_TIMING_OFFSET (37), body := { ms_timing_offset := 65 } } } }""
What seems odd is that RxQual=7 for the uplink measurement report generated by the BTS. Note this is not the first measurement report after channel activation, but already the second, where we would normally expect all bursts to arrive with perfect quality.

I think I have now found out what causes the problem. TC_meas_res_sign_tchh activates the TCH/H as signalling channel SDCCH. This seems to change the measurement reporting interval.
To my understanding the measurement interval for SDCCH/SACCH would look like:
1 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 01234567890123456789012345678901234567890123456789012345678901234567890123456789012345678901234567890123 v v v v v v v v MEASUREMENT REPORTING TCH/H TS4/TS5.0 ---------------------------------------------------||--------------------------------------------------- DdDdDdDdDdDdSDdDdDdDdDdDdsDdDdDdDdDdDdSDdDdDdDdDdDdsDdDdDdDdDdDdSDdDdDdDdDdDdsDdDdDdDdDdDdSDdDdDdDdDdDds M M M M M M M M M M M M M A . |______remaps to__________|
From this we can expect 13 measurements instead of 25. Since the number of the measurements is included into the rxqual calculation the we get values that are far of here. This is why the TTCN3 test fails.
Unfortunately I am not sure if this is correct. In GSM 04.03 I find in chapter 6 Channel configurations that SDCCH + SACCH is a valid configuration. So I think technically this is just a FACCH that is permanently present. I assume that allocating an SDCCH on was tested/used (was it?) in real life setups before, so we can be sure that the signalling data that is decoded from here makes sense.
Given that my assumptions are correct I would ajust the expected number of measurements (this number is used to check if measurements are missing and replaces the missing ones => wrong rxqual) to 13 when the channel is in signalling mode (3).

Hi Philipp,
I think I have now found out what causes the problem. TC_meas_res_sign_tchh activates the TCH/H as signalling channel SDCCH.
I am sorry, but this is incorrect. TCH in signalling mode is still a TCH (i.e. traffic channel), not an SDCCH (i.e. dedicated control channel). The only difference from 'speech' mode is that both sides always send FACCH frames instead of speech frames. The multi-frame layout and thus the measurement reporting interval remain the same.
Best regards,
Vadim.

this is clearly invalid. The TCH/H must be activated as TCH/H in signaling mode, and nothing else.

I see, makes also more sense to me. I have fixed that now in the tests:
https://gerrit.osmocom.org/c/osmo-ttcn3-hacks/+/20645 BTS_Tests: fix CHANnel ACTIVation message in TC_meas_res_sign_tchX
Updated by dexter almost 4 years ago
The Fix above will not make the test pass. It just fixes the odd CHANnel ACTIVation message. There is a wired problem in osmo-bts-trx for signalling channels the measurement reporting is definetly broken, for normal TCH/H/FACCH+SACCH usage things should be fine, but this seems to be more by chance as the logic around this is not obvious. I can fix this, but I think we need a bit more test coverage. (there is also still #3780)
I wonder if f_TC_meas_res_periodic could be modified so that it tests real TCH/H and not only the signalling case. For sure it is easily possible to activate the channel as TCH/H in GSM V1 speech mode for example but this still does not change the fact that only FACCH (L1CTL_DATA_IND) are sent by the testcase (are they really or is this generated by TRXCON because the testcase does not send any traffic). I would need L1CTL_TRAFFIC_IND to be send to TRXCON which contain GSM V1 voice frames.
There is this f_TC_meas_res_periodic() that uses as_l1_dcch(), I tried to make an as_l1_tch()
private altstep as_l1_tch() runs on ConnHdlr { var L1ctlDlMessage l1_dl; [] L1CTL.receive(tr_L1CTL_TRAFFIC_IND(g_chan_nr, tr_RslLinkID_DCCH(?))) -> value l1_dl { log("TCH received: ", l1_dl.payload.traffic_ind.data); var octetstring pl := '010301'O; log("=====================> I AM SENDING TO L1CTL:"); log(ts_L1CTL_TRAFFIC_REQ(g_chan_nr, ts_RslLinkID_DCCH(0), f_pad_oct(pl, 23, '2B'O))); L1CTL.send(ts_L1CTL_TRAFFIC_REQ(g_chan_nr, ts_RslLinkID_DCCH(0), f_pad_oct(pl, 23, '2B'O))); repeat; } } <pre> But that did not work, which might be because there is never an tr_L1CTL_TRAFFIC_IND comming from TRXCON, shouldn't I receive something as soon as the channel is activated?

Hi Philipp,

I am wondering whether this 'Channel Rate and Type' IE is even considered in osmo-bts...
There is a wired problem in osmo-bts-trx for signalling channels the measurement reporting is definetly broken, for normal TCH/H/FACCH+SACCH usage things should be fine,
For measurement reporting on TCH/F or TCH/H there is no difference whether the channel is activated in signalling or in traffic mode - TCH is a separate channel, SACCH is a separate channel. Why do you think it should be fine for traffic?
I wonder if f_TC_meas_res_periodic could be modified so that it tests real TCH/H and not only the signalling case.
I don't think the 'traffic' mode would change anything (see above).
[] L1CTL.receive(tr_L1CTL_TRAFFIC_IND(g_chan_nr, tr_RslLinkID_DCCH(?))) -> value l1_dl
[...] shouldn't I receive something as soon as the channel is activated?
The problem is that you're not sending any RTP frames to the BTS, so you should see lots of:
DL1P INFO sched_lchan_tchf.c:539 001477/01/21/49/41 (bts=0,trx=0,ts=1) TCH/F: No TCH or FACCH prim for transmit.

Most likely, it's just sending dummy bursts (I would expect BFIs instead?), so trxcon fails to decode TCH/F blocks:

Hi Philipp,
The problem is that you're not sending any RTP frames to the BTS, so you should see lots of:
this still applies, but regardless of that trxcon must be sending BFIs to the test case. I did a quick investigation, and found out that the test suite does not send the correct TCH mode to trxcon, so trxcon always works in signalling mode and sends empty DATA.ind (indicating bad xCCCH frames) instead. Moreover, I found out that the 'L1ctlDmEstReq' definition in L1CTL_Types is incorrect:
https://gerrit.osmocom.org/c/osmo-ttcn3-hacks/+/20753 library/L1CTL_PortType: fix indention in alt() statements [NEW]

https://gerrit.osmocom.org/c/osmo-ttcn3-hacks/+/20755 library/L1CTL_Types: fix definition of L1ctlDmEstReq [NEW]
I don't think the 'traffic' mode would change anything (see above).
I submitted an incomplete patch set (still need to fix some things):
https://gerrit.osmocom.org/c/osmo-ttcn3-hacks/+/20756 BTS_Tests: cosmetic: rename 'as_l1_dcch' to 'as_l1_dcch_loop' [NEW]
https://gerrit.osmocom.org/c/osmo-ttcn3-hacks/+/20757 BTS_Tests: introduce and use TCH loop - as_l1_tch_loop() [NEW]
https://gerrit.osmocom.org/c/osmo-ttcn3-hacks/+/20758 BTS_Tests: introduce TC_meas_res_speech_tch{f,h} [NEW]
and indeed, you were right: both TC_meas_res_speech_tchf and TC_meas_res_speech_tchh pass. I am surprised.
Does it mean that the measurement processing logic in osmo-bts-trx is somehow wrong?
Best regards,
Vadim.

https://gerrit.osmocom.org/c/osmo-ttcn3-hacks/+/20797 BTS_Tests: introduce TC_meas_res_speech_tchh_toa256()
Updated by dexter almost 4 years ago
I have found out that the remaining reasons why TC_meas_res_sign_tchh_ are failing is a mishandling of the FACCH in sched_lchan_tchh.c. The signalling mode can be seen as a permanent FACCH transmission but without TCH indications (l1sap.c). Since the FACCH is spreaded over 6 bursts the amount of measurement values is halved. In order to correct the amount we could add each measurement we get from a FACCH twice. This is for sure debateable, but it corrects the amount of measurements. See also:
https://gerrit.osmocom.org/c/osmo-bts/+/20840 measurement: count measurements for FACCH/H twice.
For FACCH/F we have the opposite issue. Here it is actually simple to correct the problem. We just make sure that the TCH/F indication that is generated as a replacement for the missing speech block. Since FACCH/F blocks are exactly the same size as speech blocks everything mahctes up again. See also:
https://gerrit.osmocom.org/c/osmo-bts/+/20841 sched_lchan_tchf: count measurements for FACCH/F only once
In order to have a testbed for the FACCH debugging I have added tests that open the channel in speech mode while ocassionally injecting FACCH blocks. For TCH/F everything looks fine here, but even when the test passes for TCH/H it still looks very messy from inside of osmo-bts. Unfortunately there is no easy way to check if osmo-bts gets the right amount of upling measurements. A rate counter that is quieried from TTCN3 might help here.
https://gerrit.osmocom.org/c/osmo-ttcn3-hacks/+/20839 BTS_Tests: add FAACH to TC_meas_res_speech_tchX
So far now all tests should pass, even when I am not happy with the result. I have studied the specs and the FACCH behavior of osmo-bts but unfortunately I can not align the theory with the actual implementation. This was also the case when I was doing the AMR DTX implementation. However, here is the theory I currently know:

This eventually leads also to one measurement result less. m x m ...T T T T F F F F T T T T... ...T T T T F F F F T T T T... m m m (measurement values positioned by point in time)
What confuses me the most in osmo-bts is that the ongoing_facch flag is set after the FACCH is
generated. I would expect this condition somewehere in between. But maybe I am overlooking
something here.
There also a completely different question that came up: Is it even allowed to replace a SUB frame
with a FACCH?
However, maybe its better to review the patches first to see what makes sense here and how it can
be improved. It would also good to know if the above is correct. (important: the "M" markers
indicate the location of the frame number from the beginning of the frame.)

Hi Philipp,
as promised, I am attaching my old paintings that I used while working on TCH/H support for trxcon. They're quite draftish and inaccurate, but should shed some light on how FACCH/H decoding is done in both osmo-bts-trx and trxcon. The problem is that in osmo-bts-trx we're still sending only one BFI (see step 'f'). An additional BFI needs to be sent (in speech mode) when the buffer contains a complete FACCH/H frame (see steps 'c' or 'd'). This way we keep the frame rate: one frame on each 2nd received burst. I can write a patch quickly.
Kind regards,
Vadim.

fixeria and me have discussed some of the problems of the TCH/H and the measurement processing (thanks for the scan of your notes!) We decided not to use the approach proposed in #20840 (count FACCH blocks twice.) We think that measurement.c should detect and handle measurements coming from FACCH.
The patch that prevents measurement (RSSI) values attached to the BFI (fake TCH) indication is still in review:
https://gerrit.osmocom.org/c/osmo-bts/+/20841 sched_lchan_tchf: count measurements for FACCH/F only once
Then there was a small bug in the SUB frame detection logic, which I corrected now:
https://gerrit.osmocom.org/c/osmo-bts/+/20852 measurement: count all blocks as SUB for TCH/F in signalling mode
Since the amount of measuremnt values and sub frames is indeed different depending on the channel mode, I fixed this as well.
https://gerrit.osmocom.org/c/osmo-bts/+/20853 measurement: fix expected number of measurements
Not yet fixed is the problem we have when a FACCH is injected into an TCH/H channel. If this happens, and a sub frame is hit the results get messed up. This is why TC_meas_res_speech_tchh_facch does not yet pass. I still wonder if it is even legal to take out a voice frame for a FACCH frame. I wouln't be surprised if this would be forbidden.
I would now do the following: If a FACCH is received, the two BFI indications will not carry RSSI values and because of this only the FACCH measurement value is in the list. When the measurement logic counts out the measurements it will detect that there were FACCH frames and make sure that this taken into account properly (expect less sub measurements, expect less measurements in total, don't compensate missing measurements.)
Updated by dexter almost 4 years ago
Sorting out the remaining problems with TC_meas_res_speech_tchh_facch is actually not that easy. My original idea was to add code to measurement.c that accounts the FACCH measurement samples differently so that the one less measurement sample that is generated when the FACCH is transmitted is taken into account when doing the measuremnt calculations. Unfortunately this did not work out.
(I am still not getting smart out of the frame numbers that mark the beginning of the FACCH. The FACCH has the same frame number as one of the the BFI TCH samples. This does not match the theory, I will check with sysmobts tomorrow to see if the frame numbers look different there.)
See also: https://gerrit.osmocom.org/c/osmo-bts/+/20980
fixeria had a nice idea, which I probably did not understand correctly, but I think we are on the right way here. If we are in SPEECH mode, we will not use the FACCH to get the measurement samples. Instead we will only use the generated TCH indications. This way the stream of measurement samples is evened out. For TCH/F it is not a problem anyway because FACCH and voice blocks have the same length. The problem only manifests itself in TCH/H, where FACCH and voice blocks have different length. With the current version of my patch TC_meas_res_speech_tchh_facch is passing.

I have now analyzed and compared with the behavior we see with osmo-bts-sysmo. With osmo-bts-sysmo I find the same behavior for TCH/F as we currently have it in osmo-bts-trx, but on TCH/H the behavior is different. On osmo-bts-sysmo, the phy seems to mask out the one missing TCH measurement, which seems logical to me because it makes the calculation much easier. For osmo-bts-trx the behavior looks completely messed up (see report below).

The measurements for the FACCH blocks do have correct frame numbers but there is a second TCH measurement with the same frame number but it is technically impossible that a TCH block finishes at the exact same position where a FACCH begins. Also we miss a mesaurement in the last third of the FACCH transmission, technically this position is the beginnning of the recurring TCH and we should get a measurement with at this position. In the

There is good news. I had another look at the problem and this time I think I found the root cause:

M M If we erase the '?' measurement report everything matches up the theory. We see two erased measurements in the results at the positions where they should be. ==> The function rx_tchh_fn uses a shift register buffer scheme that is 6 bursts deep. The problem is presumably that the decoding functions look at the beginning of the buffer but incoming bursts are added at the end. This explains why the FACCH is decoded in the right position, it fits exactly. The TCH blocks are decoded always decoded with a two burst position delay. If we take that into account we can fix the frame number problem.
I also tried a hack that fills the burst gaps wit measurements, so that the it looks just like with osmo-bts-sysmo. Then BTS_Tests.TC_meas_res_speech_tchh_facch also passes.

I have now fixed the problem with the oddly aligned frame numbers by feeding the frame number of the actual block end into the remap functions that calculate fn_begin. This means I use the frame number from two bursts before here.
I also managed to fill the resulting gap at the correct position. The behavior is now almost identical to the that what I can observe at osmo-bts-sysmo, however there seem to be no BFI indications (RSSI=0) handed up. The testcase BTS_Tests.TC_meas_res_speech_tchh_facch now passes nicely and the frame numbers look good.

I have fixed the remaining problems in #21329, the patch now calculates the frame numbers directly and does not need another shift buffer to memorize the frame number. This is also more reliable since on the channel activation the shift buffer would not contain the correct frame numbers. However, i still use memset/memcpy twice, which could be optimized out if necessary. I do not know how critical that is, it also only happens on FACCH transmissions.

Both test cases still fail, and we still have not reached an agreement on how to proceed.

I have rebased https://gerrit.osmocom.org/c/osmo-bts/+/21329/ to current master. Looking at the tests I see that TC_meas_res_speech_tchh_facch is failing, which is expected. Unfortunately I am running out of ideas how to fix this.

The BTS_Tests.TC_meas_res_speech_tchh_facch
was fixed a long time ago. Marking as resolved.
BTW, below are patches implementing the alternative approach I was talking about:
