+      The algorithm is we accumlate the actions that should end before processing a tx slot in tx_wait_for_dlsch[slot]
+      later, other threads push events in UE->tx_resume_ind_fifo[slot]
+      so, the tx encoding starts only when related actions are done (mainly DLSCH ACK/NACK to encode PUCCH)
+      if there is a bug that misses to send a event in UE->tx_resume_ind_fifo[slot], the process hangs, we detect the issue
+      if there is a bug that makes a extra event in UE->tx_resume_ind_fifo[slot], and if we drop the hereafter check
+      the system runs with random race conditions, very hard to debug
+
+      Likely we should later remove completly UE->tx_resume_ind_fifo with notifications,
+      instead,
+      we may run in place the processSlotTX() when the conditions are met (when a decreasing tx_wait_for_dlsch[slot] will become 0)
+      It will remove the condition signals (for a thread safe semaphore or counter) and make the system simpler
+      This require also other modifications to
+          remove txFifo that is also a big issue
