Hi,
I have added rate counters to the PCU and noticed that a lot of frames
in the DL are re-sent without there actually being any NACK or
transmission errors. I have also re-produced a "stall" by just using
ping with a big enough data size and a low enough interval (the PCU
appears to transmit the ICMP PING but the MS never gets to send a PONG
packet).
In both cases it could be a scheduling issue (e.g. we don't schedule
the UL Packet ACK/NACK). Is any of you aware of it? I had already
highlighted that the scheduling is not fair. I wonder if we are seeing
starvation (and will re-factor to be able to unit test this).
In terms of scheduling. For the SBA we are already having a reservation
that we try to honor in multiple places. Maybe it is time to extend it
and have more reservations?
