Because paging refers to a BTS, the cbfn (callback function) must
include a pointer to bts.
The paging response includes a lchan pointer, which can be resolved to the
physical channel / timeslot and to the trx and finally to the BTS. Is this
not sufficient?
Ah, ok, in the case we do not successfully allocate a lchan, then that's
obviously NULL.
Still, when you call paging_request() you actually pass on a number of
parameters, including:
1) the BTS on which you want to page (whcih, indeed, is currently the
BTS of the calling party rather than the called party). So this parameter
is likely to get removed soon.
2) The subscriber that was called. This should be used by paging_request()
to resolve the BTS that this subscriber was last seen/registered to.
3) a reference to the call, which is treated as an opaque pointer that
is passed back as a reference when calling the call-back function. So
if the bts of the calling or called party needs to be known, it should
probably be referenced from that data structure.
Or am I missing something?
