Re: RF power problems with current master of osmo-trx

in case of TRX 0, osmo-bts always sends bursts, even on idle bursts. it sends dummy bursts in this case. i suggest that there is no RF power in case of TRX>0 for each single burst, that is not sent from osmo-bts. the reasons are:

• one TCH/H channel of one TS may be in use, so the other channel should be

disabled, to reduce noise on the spectrum.

• DRX (in the future) might be used to reduce noise on the spectrum.
• SACCH is disabled when leaving dedicated mode, so the MS runs into radio

link timeout, if the release message does not go through or some error occurs.

i think about three solutions to make make osmo-trx send no RF power per burst:

1. omso-bts does not send any burst to osmo-trx

Please try out the filler branch I posted earlier. It does exactly that.
