there is a "one phase access", where devices request a channel for uplink TBF, but we don't know the TLLI until we get a valid RLC/MAC block. for every downlink TBF we know the TLLI for sure, because it is contained in the LLC data frame from SGSN.

thanks for the explanation. So the tlli is always valid in the DL direction and sometimes valid in the UL.

Code duplication (as witnessed with the missing tfi assignment in (a) algorithm) has the danger that one codepath is fixed while the others are left broken.

I will then use the version with tlli_valid and kill the code clones.
