osmocombb: TS 3 -> TS failed - baseband-devel

14 Jan 2013

hi,

i just encountered the following problem:

the network assigns me from TS 1 to TS 3 it worked, but not when it did
another assigment from TS 3 to TS4. i just got noise instead of valid
SACCH frames.

TS Chg forth: 1 -> 3 | 1856
...
TS Chg forth: 3 -> 4 | 1875

this is the wireshark trace of both assignments. they only differ in the
assigned slot:

any idea why this does not work? i used the "[WIP] Ugly hack to
compensate lost time on TS change (high TS -> low TS)" path.
