Assigning to myself at least until I add a pcap.

Another CSN Error observed. Need to try to grab a pcap of this one too.

It looks pretty much like a mistake in TS 44.060:

The payload is: '4017e5b2cd5a2eca68655e44aec84880139300412b2b2b'O.

Another Payload observed is

x2f x83 x61 xfa x14 x14 x26 x86 x56 x4b x2c xcc x00 x40 x01 x70 x0b x2b x2b x2b x2b x2b

(formatted for pasting into http://lte-3gpp.info/decode_ts44060.php)

This is the case of the DL_DualCarrierForDTM Error, is observed regularly and is an MS RAC IE.

While the other errors are always followed in the log with "Dropping Uplink Control Block with invalid content...", this one is not. Wireshark decodes the payload correctly. An example payload can be found in the pcap, towards the end.

Here is my attempt to fix 'QPSK_MEAN_BEP' related decoding errors: https://gerrit.osmocom.org/c/osmo-pcu/+/22524.

Unfortunately, I don't have time to work on this anymore :/

Best regards,
Vadim.

I'm not sure if @fixeria's patch got implemented elsewhere.

The most commonly seen CSN error now is

<0000> ../../git/src/csn1.c:252 csnStreamDecoder: error 
NEED_MORE BITS TO UNPACK (-5) at MultislotCapabilityReductionForDL_DualCarrier (idx 64)

Similar issues should be fixed by these commits:
https://gerrit.osmocom.org/c/osmo-pcu/+/25716 csn1: Add unit test showing RadioAccess Capability decoding failure
https://gerrit.osmocom.org/c/osmo-pcu/+/25830 csn1: Avoid failing if optional DownlinkDualCarrierCapability_r7 is missing
https://gerrit.osmocom.org/c/osmo-pcu/+/25831 csn1: Avoid storing existance bit as true if content was actually NULL

Please keith , if after merging it you still see problems, report a pcap file containing the relevant packets. We'll then probably need to change the CSN1 description for a few more fields in RAcap as we see we need it.

This issue looks most likely fixed with the above patches.
Let continue if needed in #5250
