I think it is too early to tell, we need more information about how LTE works. Right now I'm not convinced LTE belongs on the ConnectionManager interface at all.

So does this imply that you think oFono should set Active=true and and bring up the interface as soon as the Initial PDN is avilable? What about the ConnectionContext, should oFono automatically create a new one if needed? Regards, Sjur ___ ofono mailing list ofono@ofono.org http://lists.ofono.org/listinfo/ofono

If you think we should change the current behavior, then please send patches for oFono and BlueZ and also ConnMan to fix this.

Logically whoever sets the IP parameters should bring the interface administratively up. This is layer 3. oFono does layer 2. It should either create/remove the interface and/or play with the dormant and/or carrier flags. -- Rémi ___ ofono mailing list ofono@ofono.org http://lists.ofono.org/listinfo/ofono

Just the IP assignment is done by ConnMan, but the interface up/down status is controlled by oFono or even BlueZ in case of Bluetooth.

This assumes that the default PDN would be the Internet connection. For data- only LTE, this might work. But wouldn't this fail miserably for networks with separate PDN for IMS and Internet? -- Rémi Denis-Courmont Nokia Devices R&D, Maemo Software, Helsinki ___ ofono mailing list ofono@ofono.org http://lists.ofono.org/listinfo/ofono
ConnectionContext creation for LTE PDN Connection.
Hi all, We have started to investigate LTE impact on oFono, specifically how to integrate LTE and initial PDN connection, and we have some questions regarding this. This raises some questions about the handling of ConnectionContexts. When a terminal attach to LTE network it would normally do an implicit context activation request associated to attach request (+CGATT=1). When the context activation is completed this will result in an event notifying about the activated PDN connection according to 27.007 10.1.19 Packet Domain event reporting +CGEREP. +CGEV: ME PDN ACT At this point we have a "connection context" in the modem. The question is then, how should we model this in oFono? Should we assume/require that a Connection Context already is created by ConnMan and pre-exists in oFono (possibly with a flag indicating that this represents the initial PDN, or perhaps just taking the "internet" ConnectionContext)? Or should oFono automatically create a Connection Context? Furthermore, should oFono automatically proceed and set Active=true, bind the connection to a network interface and set network interface in state UP, or should the ConnectionContext initially set Active=false, waiting for ConnMan to activate it?
