[Openlte-announcements] V00.19.00

[Ben W. <bwo...@gm...>]

All,

V00.19.00 is available.  This version has several bug fixes and small
changes resulting in a more reliable system.  With this version, I was able
to successfully get end to end IP traffic through the system, including
loading a web page.  The biggest reason for this was switching all DRBs to
RLC AMD mode.  There is still an issue in the downlink, but this change
masks it.  Specifically, removed rb_id from all MME pack routines (thanks
to Przemek for finding this), fixed a bug with the default value of
filter_coeff in LIBLTE_RRC_UL_POWER_CONTROL_DEDICATED_STRUCT (thanks to
Paul Sutton for finding this), added the length indicator for eps_mobile_id
(thanks to Paul Sutton for finding this), added an error return for
dci_1a_unpack (thanks to Joel Carlson for the suggestion), properly
initializing vd_w_metric (thanks for ziminghe for finding this), and
limiting PUSCH allocations to 10 PRBs for performance reasons in the LTE
library, added TX and RX gains to the config file, combined UL and DL
schedule messages into a single PHY schedule message, moved QoS structure
from RB class to the user class, fixed bugs related to the RLC AM TX and RX
buffers, changed the default timer alignment timer to 10240 subframes,
removed boost::lexical_casts from HSS, moved the dedicated bearer QoS to 9,
and moved DRBs to RLC AMD mode in LTE_fdd_enodeb.

WARNINGS:
1) I have only been testing LTE_fdd_enodeb at 5MHz.  Other bandwidths
(specifically 1.4 and 3MHz) are not currently working.

There were several people who contributed to this release (see the notes
above).  Please keep the feedback coming.

Sorry this release took so long to get out, I hope to keep a more regular
release schedule moving forward.

Thanks,
Ben
