Hi

Below are the patches we have identified  for the MCS5 - MCS9 in UL activity for EGPRS.

1.	Structure definition for EGPRS Header type 1 and 2 in UL. 
2.	Removing GMSK only check from UL TBF path present in  gprs_rlcmac_pdch::rcv_data_block function. 
3.	Moving  "LOGP(DRLCMACUL, LOGL_DEBUG, "  UL data: %s\n", osmo_hexdump(data, len));"  from function gprs_rlcmac_pdch::rcv_data_block 
	to entry of gprs_rlcmac_pdch::rcv_block  function for ease in debugging and the TbfTest.err file modification.
4.	Replacing Unnecessary copy constructor for GprsCodingScheme class objects by modifying the function prototype using reference variables.
	Ex: 
		int gprs_rlcmac_pdch::rcv_block_gprs(uint8_t *data, uint32_t fn,
  		      struct pcu_l1_meas *meas, GprsCodingScheme cs);
			Will be changed to
		Int gprs_rlcmac_pdch::rcv_block_gprs(uint8_t *data, uint32_t fn,
   		     struct pcu_l1_meas *meas, GprsCodingScheme &cs);
5.	Decoding::rlc_parse_ul_data_header will be modified with calling separate parser function for 
	GprsCodingScheme::HEADER_GPRS_DATA
			AND
	GprsCodingScheme::HEADER_EGPRS_DATA_TYPE_3 cases.
6.	Member variable enum Mode  m_scheme_type; will be added in class GprsCodingScheme and constructor GprsCodingScheme(Scheme s = UNKNOWN); 
	will be modified to GprsCodingScheme(Scheme s = UNKNOWN,Mode scheme_type = GPRS);  and object creation will be modified  accordingly along with 
	changes in isGprs() and  isEgprs() member functions.
7.	New parser function for GprsCodingScheme::HEADER_GPRS_DATA_TYPE_2 case with addition of Test cases in Unit test framework excluding padding case.
8.	New parser function for GprsCodingScheme::HEADER_GPRS_DATA_TYPE_1 case with addition of new Test cases  Unit test framework.
9.	Handling of padding case in Header type 2 including Test case addition in Unit Test framework.

Thanks,
Aravind Sirsikar

Dear Saurabh,

looks good in general. Please follow the general guideline, try to make small commits, update test results, add new tests. After each of the elements we should not only have a new feature, but better structure, better test coverage and throughput.

kind regards
