Feature #1529
closedSupport MCS 5-9 in uplink
0%
Description
In uplink direction, only MCS1-4 (GMSK) are supported.
- Add decoding of RLC data block header type 1 & 2
- Query the 8PSK power class (if not set, 8PSK may not be used in uplink direction), see 24.008, 10.5.5.12a
- In addition, the 8PSK capability can be indicated by the TS in the 11bit channel request format (44.060, 11.2.5a)
- Dual packet extraction for MCS7-9 is implemented but not tested
According to 44.060, 7.4.1 "If the mobile station has been assigned a TBF in EGPRS mode and the MS does not support EGPRS, or has been assigned an MCS (e.g. 8-PSK in the Uplink) that the MS does not support, the MS shall return to packet idle mode and notify higher layers (TBF establishment failure)." the PCU must not request MCS-5 if the MS hasn't uplink 8PSK capabilites, so these must be checked before requesting it.

This seems to be at least partially implemented by Aravind already. Shall this ticket be reassigned?

I'd say this is implemented but I'm not sure. In any case, TTCN3 related tests must be added to PCU_Tests_RAW.

- Status changed from New to Resolved
EGPRS has three header types; all three types are suppored by rlc_parse_ul_data_header()
