You need an active connection between the BTS and the MS to get the
measurement reports. The BTS will send its own results together with
the data received from the MS. If the cell has neighbor cells the
MS will also report their data (right now bsc_hack does not configure
any neighbor cells).

I am not sure if you will get the measurement reports for an active
connection by default or if they have to be turned on with a "Start
Measurement" command over OML.

TA is included in the measurement report from the BTS. Please be aware
that a value other than 0 means that you are more than about 550 meter
away with the MS from the BTS so you cover a rather large area with
your BTS ;-)

Best regards,
  Dieter
