Summary of OsmoPCU work during 2020
This is a summary of the work that has happened on the osmo-pcu software in 2020, specifically the timeframe January 2020 through early February 2021.
- large number of various CSN.1 encoder/decoder fixes
- fix an infinite loop in CSN.1 dissector
- fix pcu_sock related memory leak
- MS RA capability parsing fixes (#4463)
- properly encode P-TMSI in RR PAGING REQUEST
- Fix UL-ACK not sent to MS if intermediate UL block is lost
- 11bit RACH support (EGPRS Packet channel Requeset, #1548)
- do not encode out-of-range TA value
- fix RRBP field in packet uplink assignment
- add support for IPv6 NS-VCs
- add support for frequency hopping
- fix crashes due to NULL pointer deref (#4756)
- downgrade to DL MCS1-4 when USF for GPRS_only MS (#4544)
- Get rid of LLC UI dummy blocks following other data (#4849)
- support GPRS concurrently with EGPGRS (previously only either/or)
- support Gb interface with IP-SNS
- Fix Dl EGPRS data blocks being generated occasionally on GPRS TBFs (#4973)
- NACC (Network Assisted Cell Change) support
- lots of bugs fixed all over
- GPRS and EPGRS are no longer exclusive, but GPRS-only MS can be served while EGPRS is active
- Network Assisted Cell Change is going to significantly improve cell reselection performance
- IPv6 support on the Gb interface
- IP-SNS support on the Gb interface
We are planning to tag a new osmo-pcu release soon-ish. This is mainly awaiting the full stabilization of the "NS2" (new NS code) VTY interface and APIs. Once released, those will be stable and cannot be modified in incompatible manner anymore.
