354 Appearance of FACCH in TCH/HS downlink
355 --------------------------------------
356
357 All mentions of FACCH handling in the previous description refer only to TCH/F.
358 In the case of TCH/HS, the following differences in FACCH handling are seen:
359
360 * Bits [7:5] described earlier for the case of FACCH/F are never seen set in
361 TCH/HS DL captures.
362
363 * In the first 20 ms frame position stolen for FACCH/H, status word 0 is seen
364 as 0xC007 (looks like regular BFI), status word 1 is set to 0 (instead of
365 whatever D_MACC is), and it is not clear whether or not status word 2 is
366 still filled with the bit error count from the convolutional decoding step.
367 (We've only seen 0 in that word.) The payload bits are filled with what
368 looks like garbage, in contrast with FACCH/F behavior of retaining previous
369 buffer content.
370
371 * In the second 20 ms frame position stolen for FACCH/H, status word 0 is seen
372 as 0, status word 1 looks like correct D_MACC after 456 rather than 228 bits
373 have been decoded, and status word 2 contains 0xFFFF. The "garbage" in the
374 payload bits stays the same from the first half of FACCH/H.
