Nature: Uncategorized Issue
Severity:
Summary:
Wrong Stereotypes for Property Types. Make struct property and test def property types stereotypes of datatype instead of class in the properties. These should be treated type definitions not classes. EnumerationProperty?

Summary:
Simple Property Datatype. This allows users to form common definitions that can be used for components properties. A data/primitive stereotype that similar tags as RadioProperty. Add to properties section.

Issue 9582: Waveform Response to Audio Device RTS Signal (swradio-rtf)

Nature: Uncategorized Issue
Severity:
Summary:
The following issue was raised in the SDR Forum's SCA WG:


The PTT function is a oneway call and the audio device does not wait for an
RTS signal. This situation prevents the waveform from providing a negative
response to the PTT. If the waveform is unable to transmit data at the time
of a PTT, does the waveform just ignore/drop the data without alerting the
audio device or user through some specified mechanism?

Current rational is that a RTS management is a function of the waveform as opposed to the audio device. A specialization to support this could be done. Further discussion with the SDR Forum is needed to fully understand the requirements.

Nature: Uncategorized Issue
Severity:
Summary:
The following issue was raised in the SDR Forum's SCA WG:


The group was concerned that without a control structure along with the data
payload, the Audio API might impose unnecessary constraints. Discussion
within the group identified that a control structure containing at least a
Stream Id, a Payload Length, and a Sequence number could provide much
greater flexibility that the API as currently stated

Payload Length is built into the OctetSequence (delegate this problem to the PSM). The other two parameters would need the SimplePDU to instantiate it to conform to what is needed (this could include payload length as well). SimplePDU is a basic building block. It is unclear however how pervasive the use of these parameters are. If all audio devices need this data then these data could be supported. If a subset of devices would use this information, then specialize it. Further discussion with the SDR Forum is needed to fully understand the requirements.

Severity:
Summary:
The following issue was raised in the SDR Forum's SCA WG:


The Audio API does not include an interface for configuring or exchanging
information that is specific to a stream or channel. Such information might
include: quality of service parameters, packet size, symbol size, priority,
and audio codec.

Issue 10414: Unregister Operation Issues (swradio-rtf)

Click
here for this issue's archive.
Source: Raytheon (Mr. Gerald Lee Bickle, Gerald.L.Bickle(at)raytheon.com)
Nature: Uncategorized Issue
Severity:
Summary:
Problem

The domain manager and device manager unregister operations take in an object reference, which cannot be used directly for determining what component to unregister since one cannot compare on object references, so a callback is needed to get the identifier for unregistering service thus being inefficient.

 

Proposed Solution: Replace the unregistering operations and remove device parameters with an unregistering identifier parameter of string type. This change affects CompositeDevice, DeviceManagerRegistration and ServiceRegistration interfaces.

Severity:
Summary:
Issue:

The domain manager register operations take in an object reference, so a callback is needed to get the identifier and profile attributes thus being inefficient.

 

Extent of Change: Major

 

Resolution:

Add to the DeviceManagerRegistration interface operations, identifier and profile parameters to eliminate the callbacks.

Nature: Enhancement
Severity: Minor
Summary:
The base POSIX version of the AEP is being updated within the specification. In the update a new set of Error Conditions has been defined. The new error conditions need to be evaluated in order to determine whether or not they should be included within the specification.

Issue 10588: Erroneous reference in PIM & PSM for SW Radio dtc/06-04-18 (swradio-rtf)

Click

Source: Object Management Group (Mr. Jon M. Siegel, siegel(at)omg.org)
Nature: Uncategorized Issue
Severity:
Summary:
In Section 6.1 of the PIM & PSM for SW Radio intro book dtc/06-04-18,
currently under DTC vote, one finds these references to Life Science specs:


===============================
* Life Sciences Identifiers (LSID) - There are many
cross references in the model defined by this specification. They are
expressed using LSIDs. The relevant specification
is available as OMG documents: formal/04-12-01 and dtc/04-08-03.
* Genomic Map (GM) - The definitions in GM
specification are either too limiting or too generic for SNPs purposes.
The GM was designed at the time when genetic maps
were the only genome wide maps. Current focus is on sequence
maps.
===============================


Presumably this is a cut-n-paste error/artifact, and should be repaired.
The reference to BQS may be spurious as well.

Nature: Uncategorized Issue
Severity:
Summary:
I believe there is an error in Figure 7.1 in the "Component Document Type Definition Specification" dtc/06-04-22. Please note that the "DevicePackageDescriptor" is NOT showing any dependency on "Properties". This is a defined relationship in SCA 2.2.2.

 

Proposed Resolution: DPD ----> (0..*) Properties
