hi,
i would like to commit my well tested neighbour cell measurement code,
as well as the improved cell selection / re-selection process soon. with
it, it is possible to move with the mobile phone while beeing in idle
mode (no call). it tracks neighbour cells and switches if a better cell
is detected. i found and fixed many bug issues in mobility management
and cell selection process. i did allot of driving tests.
in order to do that, the neighbour cell measurement code for layer1 is
required. this code must be reviewed first. i splitted it in three
patches:
neigh_getset.patch
[layer1] Adding rffe_set_gain() and rffe_get_gain() to get/set computed
gain.
rffe_compute_gain() is the new name for rffe_set_gain(). I needed to
change this, to solve the name collision with the rffe_set_gain()
function, which actually sets the absolute gain.
rffe_get_gain() will now read the absolute gain which has been computed
by rffe_compute_gain() or set by rffe_set_gain().
neigh_l23.patch
[layer23] Adding neighbour cell measurement to L1CTL interface.
(layer23)
neigh_l1.patch
[layer1] Adding neighbour cell measurement code to layer1.
When listening to BCCH, layer1 may measure the power level of neighbour
cells. A list of neighbour cell frequencies need to be sent to layer1.
After the measurement is done, the results are indicated to layer23.
