I am running some tests/experiments with the burst_ind branch. I want to be able to only follow the immediate assignments for my TMSI as it is difficult to verify that the bursts are indeed my traffic. However, I suspect this is not possible using only downlink traffic as without the channel request from the MS I cannot match the resulting IA? I would need to capture uplink too?
Even if you would capture the uplink on the RACH you would not be able to distinguish your phones request using your tmsi because IAs refer to requests by their Random Reference (04.08, 9.1.8). Only if you knew this reference you could follow only your phones DCHs. The first time a tmsi/imsi may be sent is on an already established DCH. Of course you could still implement something that only if a RACH request is received on uplink the IA is followed, so you could be sure to follow only requests from phones in your vicinity.
