osmo-bts-trx: incorrect PTCCH handling

Spec Reference:
3GPP TS 45.002, 3GPP TS 45.010

Description

According to 3GPP TS 45.002, section 6.3.2.2.2, and 3GPP TS 45.010, section 3.3.4.2:

  • PTCCH/D (Packet Timing advance control channel, Downlink) is used to transmit Timing Advance updates for several MS. One PTCCH/D is paired with several PTCCH/U's. PTCCH/D frames are encoded using CS-1.
  • PTCCH/U (Packet Timing advance control channel, Uplink) is used to transmit random access bursts to allow estimation of the Timing Advance for one MS in packet transfer mode. PTCCH/U has 16 sub-channels (0..15) assigned to different MS using TAI.

Therefore, neither we properly handle Downlink PTCCH nor Uplink PTCCH in osmo-bts-trx:

[TRXC_PTCCH] = {
    .name = "PTCCH", /* 3GPP TS 05.02, section 3.3.4.2 */
    .desc = "Packet Timing advance control channel",
    .chan_nr = RSL_CHAN_OSMO_PDCH,

    /* Same as for TRXC_BCCH (xCCH), see above. */
    .flags = TRX_CHAN_FLAG_PDCH,
    .rts_fn = rts_data_fn,
    .dl_fn = tx_data_fn, /* FIXME: we need tx_pdtch_fn() here! */
    .ul_fn = rx_data_fn, /* FIXME: we need rx_rach_fn() here! */
},
