Hi.

I'm troubleshooting peculiar use case with packet access and osmo-bts-trx. There are
2 options for ME to acknowledge reception of control packet to PCU according to 3GPP
TS 44.060 § 11.2.2:

1) Packet Control Acknowledgement message

2) 4 identical access bursts

The latter can be both 8-bit RACH and 11-bit RACH (not supported by osmo-bts-trx
yet). The choice of response format is defined by OpenBSC in SI: 1) is default, 2)
can be activated with "gprs control-ack-type-rach" option.

The problem is that I don't understand how 2) will be handled by OsmoTRX? Shall I
expect 4 consecutive  RACH messages via rx_rach_fn() in scheduler_trx.c in
osmo-bts-trx? Shall it be some other message/function? Will it be ignored/dropped
altogether by OsmoTRX?
