Most important is to find out what is actually happening on the air
interface vs. the Abis interface.

If you have an air-interface protocol tracer, or are familiar with
OsmocomBB, or you have a phone with Qualcomm DIAG + QXDM, or a Sagem OT
phone, etc. you could get a protocol trace of the phone side.  This is
the most reliable method to know what arrives at the phone or not.

Next best to that, you can enable GSMTAP generation in osmo-bts, which I
believe is sufficiently documented in the manual.  Using that,
particulary for the PCH L1 SAPI, you will get a 'pseudo air interface
trace' consisting of anything that the BTS hands to the PHY for
transmission.
