[Openlte-announcements] V00.20.00

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

All,

V00.20.00 is available.  This version increased the maximum messages size,
fixed extended power headroom MAC CE, added classmark3 support, added
tracking area update request support, fixed the fill bits in packing mobile
ID IE for IMEISV and the length in unpacking UE security capabilities IE
(thanks to Przemek Bereski for finding this), allowing NULL to be passed
for key_256 in service reject message packing (thanks to Przemek Bereski
and Peter Nguyen for finding this), added PDCCH size defines, added an
error return to DCI 1C unpack, clearing punctered turbo decode bits before
decoding, added AMD PDU segment support, padded all RRC enums to powers of
2, added support for several RRC IEs and messages (with the help of Przemek
Bereski) in the LTE library, restructured the radio classes to ease the
addition of new radio types, set the processor affinity to allow the
PHY/Radio to run on a particular core, fixed memcpy lengths in MAC, fixed
bugs in print_all_users (thanks to Sultan Qasim Khan for finding this) and
when receiving a service request message for a non-existent user (thanks to
Peter Nguyen for finding this), fixed a long standing PHY bug that was
including UL PDCCH allocations in a check of DL PRB usage, added error
logging for received AMD PDU segments, increased the DL datarate for
default data QoS, using C-RNTI when no IMSI/IMEI are available for printing
an attached user, Przemek Bereski added UE capability enquiry and UE
capability information support and bladeRF support.

A few notes:
- The PHY bug fix in LTE_fdd_enodeb for not including UL PDCCH allocations
in a check of DL PRB usage was causing a lot of grief in the PHY.  It ended
up throwing many DL packets and UL grants away with very little printed to
the log file.  It has been around ever since UL was added (which is quite a
while).  After fixing I have seen much more stable IP traffic.
- A huge shout-out to Przemek Bereski for the work on adding bladeRF!

Same standard warning, I have only been testing LTE_fdd_enodeb at 5MHz.

On the roadmap for the next release:
- incorporation of outstanding patches that have been submitted
- fixing of the synchronization error between PHY and MAC in LTE_fdd_enodeb
that several people have reported recently

Please keep providing any and all feedback.

Thanks,
Ben
