  if device external pin reset HW signal was triggered while network connection was active.
- Correction for AT+CESQ=? response content.
- Correction for measurement reporting handling in case of measurement identity reconfiguration.
- Correction for crossover scenario where there was no AT response for PDN disconnect command if the
  PDN connection was already disconnected for other reasons.
- Change to Radio Policy Manager functionality. Internal trigger for PDN disconnection shall not be
  counted by RPM and therefore cannot cause restrictions for PDN connections.
- Correction for handling of abnormal case where network sends more than one attach accept PDU.

  handshaking may have occasionally failed.
- Correction for NB-IoT SIB14 handling occasions.

*** mfw_nrf9160_1.2.1
*********************

The mfw_nrf9160 is the firmware for the modem subsystem of nRF9160. It supports 3GPP LTE
release 13 Cat-M1 and Cat-NB1 standards, and GPS L1C/A positioning.

Cat-M1 operation is enabled on E-UTRA Bands 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 8, 12, 13, 18, 19, 20, 25, 26,
28 and 66.

Cat-NB1 operation is enabled on E-UTRA Bands 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 8, 12, 13, 17, 19, 20, 25, 26,
28 and 66.

This release is aligned with v1.4 of nRF91 AT command reference guide.

It is recommended to use the latest version of nRF Connect and nRF Connect Programmer tools.

*** New functionality
*********************
- Support for new module nRF9160-SIxA-B1 including nPM6000 support and quiescent current consumption
  reduction on PWR OFF mode.
- Added AT%XPDNCFG support for always-on initial PDN connection. With this feature configured, modem
  will try to keep the initial PDN connection (activated during Attach procedure) alive until PDN
  connection or modem deactivation is requested by the client. Keeping the initial PDN connection
  alive means that PDN connection re-activation is attempted and even re-Attached if re-activation
  does not help.
- Added AT command AT%BSKGEN and AT%BSKCHCK support for generating and storing PSK key for bootstrap
  type of services.
- Added AT command AT%XPOFWARN for configuring and setting voltage levels for modem deactivation and
  power off warning indication when battery voltage is running low.
- Added support for TLS extension Server Name Indication (SNI).
- Added support for (D)TLS cache over power cycle.
- Added support of burst (discontinuous) mode TX to AT%XRFTEST to better support synching to various
  testing equipment.
- Added support of handling of relative frequency error for the AFC testing of AT%XRFTEST.
- Added support for 3GPP 36.509 defined Test Loop H.

*** Changes
***********
- E-UTRA Cat-M1 Band 17 support removed.
- Updated the contents of carrier specific EF-Terminal Support Table based on latest specification.
- Changed and improved completing of Control Plane Service Request procedures. Change improves
  scenarios where REL14 level network sends security protected PDUs to UE.
- Radio Link Monitoring and Radio Link Failure IN-SYNC and OUT-SYNC threshold values adjusted for
  more robust mobility performance.
- Changed carrier specific band configurations. Configured based on UICC in use.
- Finetuned RSRP, RSRQ and SNR values reported with AT command interface. RSRP and RSRQ and SNR are
  filtered over DRX cycles corresponding approximately the length of 6 seconds.
- Changed AT%XRFTEST Tx test CW offset as follows: M1 401.25 kHz, NB1 48.75 (was 255 kHz for both).
- AT%XRFTEST sensor test with <param0> = 1 now returns the SoC internal temperature sensor reading.

*** Bug fixes
*************
- Correction for handling FOTA rollback in case of security or watchdog reset. In case if FOTA
  delta binary is still available in the device and security or watchdog reset triggered, it caused
  unintentional modem firmware rollback.
- Correction for a rare scenario where UE initiated detach request transmission was internally
  blocked and UE was not able to signal switch-off Detach to network.
- Correction to ensure that UICC polling timer is restarted correctly after presence detection is
  stopped.
- Correction to background PLMN search in RRC IDLE. If manual PLMN search is triggered when paging
  reception is about to start it may cause performance degradation for paging reception.
- Correction for a rare occasion where UE was jammed if switch-off (AT+CFUN=4) was triggered during
  recently started Attach procedure.
- Correction for registration status indication to AT clients: During Airplane mode the status shall
  be only “not registered” instead of “not registered - trying”.
- Correction for EMM functionality so that T3440 is stopped at the reception of ESM DATA TRANSPORT.
  This enables UE to send uplink PDUs again and there will be less buffered UL data.
- Corrected the conditions for sending EVENT DOWNLOAD (Location Status - Normal Service) from USAT
  module to UICC.
- Correction for the use case where re-Attach triggered by protocol failed in case APN was
  configured for the initial PDN connection.
- Correction to USIM refresh handling during user data transfer.
- Minor Rx gain performance improvement during neighbor measurement and search in EMTC-M1 to improve
  cell search performance.
- Correction for a scenario where USIM card was removed while UE was in PSM. UE failed to camp on
  cell and signal Detach Request in this case.
- Trace configuration corrected, NB-IoT PRACH logging objects were not visible in modem logs.
- Correction for NB-IoT neighbor measurements, which may have caused that occasionally not the most
  suitable cell was selected after connection release.
- NB-IoT stability and performance improvements when invalid downlink subframe configurations are
  configured from network.
- Correction for PVT message handling. GNSS blocked by LTE flag is not properly set beyond fix
  retry period.
- Correction for AGPS / GNSS flash file storage handling, improving robustness of the periodic fix
  after AGPS is used for a start.
- Correction for clock calibration control which may have delayed deep sleep entry in combined
  NB-IoT and GNSS tracking mode and may slightly increase power consumption.
- Correction for handover functionality in shared RAN environment. In some occasional cases
  unintentional TAU was transmitted after handover.
- Correction for halt caused by crossover scenario of LTE registration and de-registration. Attach
  abnormal case F.
- Correction for modem instability in case if eligible system information is not scheduled in
  current cell.
- Improved stability is case of concurrent MT and MO data triggered. If both MT data from network
  and MO data from application are triggered at the same time this may occasionally lead to a modem
  reset.
- Correction for PTW re-setting to manufacturer default values when using AT%XPTW command. Earlier
  zero values were set instead of defaults.
- Correction for potential SIB-NB reception instability and performance in networks supporting new
  3GPP Release 14 NB-IoT system information blocks.
- Correction for possible Handover failure in RRC Connected mode to target cell when target
  neighbor is already found in RRC Idle mode and measured and reported in RRC Connected mode.
- Correction for serving cell Srxlev and Srxqual in Cat-M1 cell selection and reselection criteria
  to be independent of amount of repetitions in P-RNTI monitoring.
- Correction for handling crossover of File Change Notification (FCN) type of SIM refresh and Attach
  procedure. With certain timings and conditions, UE found a cell and camped on it while SIM refresh
  was still ongoing. This crossover was not always handled properly and RRC connection establishment
  for Attach procedure was not triggered correctly.

*** Limitations
***************
- TLS/DTLS
    - Up to three simultaneous TLS/DTLS connections are possible.
    - Server certificate expiry time is not verified.
    - pkcs#8 is not supported.
    - Absolute maximum number of supported credentials is 32. The actual amount depends on size of
      credentials as memory area reserved for credentials may be a limiting factor as well.
    - DTLS supports PSK authentication only.
    - 2kB secure socket buffer size.
- Maximum number of raw sockets is 4.
- User plane data is supported in Cat M1 mode only.
