Yes. I don't know where the TOA value ends up in osmo-bts, but the
value is definitely carried per-burst on the socket interface.

We don't have C/I directly. We do have a running average 'noise' level
(calculated channel power on non-active uplink slots) and the RSSI
value. The channel noise is queried with the NOISELEV command. RSSI is
carried per-burst on the socket message. C/I can be calculated from
those two values.

Do we need a periodically averaged C/I value or an update every burst?
