Hello! I Need Help I install these three programs OpenBTS, OsmocomBB, Asterisk Then run them, Everything works well OpenBTS sent an SMS to my phones I answered and he checked me I registered into OpenBTS a second phone I tried to transfer SMS between phones - all good but when I try to call from one to another I did not get Asterisk writes ================================================================ *CLI> Retransmission timeout reached on transmission 755803415(a)127.0.0.1 for seqno 179 (Critical Response) -- See wiki.asterisk.org/wiki/display/AST/SIP+Retransmissions Packet timed out after 32001ms with no response ================================================================ Why? What do I do? -- View this message in context: http://baseband-devel.722152.n3.nabble.com/OpenBTS-OsmocomBB-Asterisk-tp402… Sent from the baseband-devel mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

Hi, > Is it possible to manually give the MS a timeslot number to listen > to after it has performed location update ? Yes, you can. See the L1CTL_DM_EST_REQ in L1CTL protocol implementation. But keep in mind, that as soon as you switch your phone to another timeslot (other than BCCH), you will be unable to 'hear' Paging Requests. Regarding to your initial question, you was asked to provide the traffic dumps, but there are still nothing. So, it's still difficult to understand, what's happening on your side :/ With best regards, Vadim Yanitskiy.

Hi, Don't get me wrong, but your current description sounds like "I have a problem, but I wouldn't say any details about that". Please provide at least mobile application logs, and also try to figure out some things yourself: 1) What is difference between both SIM cards you use? 2) Does mobile with "non-working" SIM perform successful LU? 3) Does mobile with "non-working" SIM receive any Paging Request? 4) Does one answer to Paging Request by sending Paging Response? 5) Then, does the L1 switch to a dedicated channel? 6) What is happening on a dedicated channel? 7) ... ? OsmocomBB is not for end users, so you should do / learn a lot of things yourself. After all, the source code is always available. With best regards, Vadim Yanitskiy.

Documentation on how to use virtual Um between BTS + MS
by Harald Welte 19 Jul '17

19 Jul '17

Hi! Next to the announcement (http://osmocom.org/news/75) I've put together some guide in the wiki as to how the Virtual Um interface can be used with the osmo-bts-virtual, virtphy and mobile programs running all on your local PC: https://osmocom.org/projects/cellular-infrastructure/wiki/Virtual_Um Feel free to try it out and/or improve the wiki page and/or let me know if something is not sufficintly clear. I intentionally don't want to repeat general information about configuring OsmoNITB or using OsmocomBB. The above-mentioned page should only document those aspects that are different from the classic setup with real hardware. I'm now investigating some more of the bugs I'm starting to find with using the VirtualUm interface from my related TTCN-3 testsuite, at this time particularly https://osmocom.org/issues/2380 Will document that testsuite once it can actually run as expected.

VirtPHY and many OsmocomBB "mobile" instances
by Harald Welte 19 Jul '17

19 Jul '17

Hi Sebastian and team, I've been thinking a bit on how to implement many concurrent OsmocomBB instances in a setup where we use Sebastian's OsmocomBB virt_phy and osmo-bts-virtual. The point of having virtual mobile phones is that you can easily simulate many. Many more than you can easily physically manage, so I'm thinking definitely of hundreds and preferably thousands of MSs. This way we can easily simulate load on BTSs, use up all channels, get in overload situations where we have to reject immediate assignments, etc. Right now, the data structures in virt_phy are a bit convoluted, and there is no clear separation between the state of the actual GSMTAP socket and the MS-specific state attached to one given L1CTL connection. So if you want to run multiple MS, it seems currently one would have to run multiple pairs of { virt_phy, mobile }, one pair for each MS. This leads to a rather large set of processes, and all have to process their own copy of the same UDP messages received on the multicast socket. connection-oriented unix domain sockets can very well handle multiple connections (similar to a single TCP server being able to acccept many incoming connections). So if the MS-specific state (like the scheduler / L1CTL related state) is properly separated from the GSMTAP side, any number of "mobile" programs (or other L1CTL users) could actually connect to the same virt_phy program and share it. Do you think this is worth it? I would really like the idea of just having to start one program, and not having to configure each "mobile" instance with a different l1sap socket name, manage to close the processes vice-versa, etc. Theoretically one could stay in the current 1:1 model, but I somehow find 1:N more appealing.

Re: GR-GSM TRX
by Vadim Yanitskiy 16 Jul '17

16 Jul '17

Hi Piotr, I just wrote a simple (more or less working) GNURadio block for connection with OsmocomBB. It is named "TRX Interface" and currently only capable to transform (in Osmocom bursts are followed by a bit different header) and send received bursts through the UDP link. If you remember, I had a problem with UDP source port. So, I spent some time and finally solved this challenge. My first idea was to inherit the existing 'Socket PDU' implementation and I started to look for a way I could do that. After a few minutes of searching, I have found your mails with the same question, and a brief answer from Sylvain, that it is impossible :( So, I have copied actual implementation, stripped out everything related to TCP and implemented a feature to set UDP source port. Now I am able to receive all DL bursts, coming from GR-GSM to my trxcon application. At the moment I am working on TDMA scheduler, which is almost finished. It's time to start writing GR-GSM blocks for burst transmission. The following thoughts / questions are in my mind: - TX should be simpler than RX, because we don't need to detect bursts and correct any errors. - Both receiver and transmitter should be time synchronized. I think, the SCH clock from the 'GSM Receiver' block may be easily shared. Moreover, actual clock indications could be forwarded to my block. - If I am correct, to transmit a burst, one should be converted to symbols. How can we do that? - We cannot simply use the existing 'GMSK Mod' block, because GSM uses TDMA. Right? If so, point me to the right direction. P.S. This message is posted at the baseband-devel mailing list. With best regards, Vadim Yanitskiy.

Re: GSMTAP based Virtual PHY merged in OsmocomBB and OsmoBTS
by Vadim Yanitskiy 16 Jul '17

Hi Harald and Sebastian, > Some of you will have alrady noticed, over the last few days I reviewed, > cleaned up, submitted and merged the virtual Um interface support on > both the phone side (OsmocomBB) as well as on the BTS side (OsmoBTS). First, my congratulations to Sebastian, great work! I also would like to add my two cents to this topic. As we already discussed with Harald, the virtual Um-interface could be helpful for testing, so I have some ideas regarding to this application. Regarding to the previous topic, where the problem of multiple BTS and multiple MS was discussed. I am not going to say, than my implementation of virtual Um-interface is better or worse. Moreover, one was created for my personal requirements just for testing of some code parts I am currently working on. Instead of that, I would like to do some relative analysis of both implementations: - At the moment, my implementation do support only a single MS <-> BTS connection. But, I have been writing all the code as modular as possible, so handling multiple L1CTL connections at the same socket (/tmp/osmocom_l2) could be added by a few lines of code. Currently the L1CTL link handler discard any incoming connections if there is already established one. This behaviour could be changed to accept more than one connection, allocating dedicated set of structures (trx interface, scheduler stuff, etc.) for each. - Regarding to the current state of work, I have xCCH RX / TX working, so L23 applications are capable to establish a dedicated channel and perform regular operations like: LUR, USSD, SMS, etc. Right now I am woring on TCH, relaying at OsmoBTS source code. As I know, mobile app can be connected to Linux Call Router, so this could be used for TCH testing (high load if required). - As I use OsmoTRX style transceiver interface for OsmocomBB, no changes are required on OsmoBTS side. All bursts are being forwarded from BTS to MS and vice versa through a simple Python application. From the other side, this limits us to use osmo-bts-trx with its compatibility issues. If you think, why Python? I've choosed this language because of implementation speed - first working code was ready after a hour of work. CPU load is about 2%, the most hungry is a clock generator. Anyway, it can be easily reimplemented in C for better performance. So, if you guys think that this implementation could be useful for high load / regression testing too, just let me know, and I'll do required changes in the source code. With best regards, Vadim Yanitskiy.
