With the current naming scheme, the logical name for a fully dynamic
TCH/F-TCH/H-PDCH channel would be
GSM_PCHAN_TCH_F_TCH_H_PDCH
timeslot 2
phys_chan_config TCH/F_TCH/H_PDCH
I personally prefer this option, because it doesn't leave a place for
doubt. And ti's not something you would type 100x a day, so making it
short is not a real optimization.
Is it asking for trouble to just name it DYN instead?
GSM_PCHAN_DYN
timeslot 2
phys_chan_config DYN
Reading this, I would be asking myself "DYN - what is that? Dynamic?
Ok, Dynamic what? Channels? Ok, which channels? Can it have SDCCH in
there? Hmm.. Don't know. Let look into the docs. Docs say no. Can it
be SDCCH in the next release of the software? Huh, don't know, I
better to put something more specific here, so I'm sure what's
happening. But how to do that?"
Users who don't ask those questions will ask a lot of other questions
like "I thought DYN is doing XYZ, but it not! Help!"
