Failing channel assignment
by Dieter Spaar 13 Aug '11

13 Aug '11

Hello, I noticed some issues in the following situation, I used the "testing" branch (I think it affects both current "testing" branches): - the signalling channel is an SDCCH/8 on a timeslot different from TS0, for example on TS4 - an ASSIGNMENT COMMAND switches to another channel on a different TS than the SDCCH/8, e.g. to TS2 Now the following two problems can happen: 1.) The ASSIGNMENT COMMAND releases the SDCCH/8 with an L1CTL_DM_REL_REQ. Depending on when the L1CTL_DM_REL_REQ is received, it could be that there are still burst scheduled for transmit (e.g. for the SACCH). Due to the L1CTL_DM_REL_REQ, rfch_get_params() will return wrong data (l1s.dedicated.type is now set to GSM_DCHAN_NONE) and the transmit of the bursts happens on the wrong ARFCN and/or TS. My temporary workaround is to clear every item in the scheduler including the current bucket when a L1CTL_DM_REL_REQ is received, this action requires to disable the FIQ, otherwise problems might happen. 2.) There is some code to check for a switch to a lower timeslot in check_lost_frame(). However it can happen that this code gets not triggered although it should: The ASSIGNMENT COMMAND causes a L1CTL_DM_REL_REQ, l1s.dedicated.type is now GSM_DCHAN_NONE ("0"). The next call to check_lost_frame() resets "last_ts" to 0. Now the new channel is assigned (in the example from above its a switch from TS4 to TS 2) and a "LOST" occures, however the required increment of the GSM time does not happen because "last_ts" is 0 although it should be 4. My current workaround is to not reset "last_ts" to 0 in check_lost_frame() but during "L1CTL_RESET_REQ: FULL!". I don't post any patches because my changes are really just ugly workaround which seem to work in (most) situations where it I otherwise observe failures. To really solve this issues something else should be done, maybe put the whole switch of a channel into an atomic operation instead of doing several operations (this is just an idea, maybe there are better solutions).

SMS status?
by Andrew Reusch 12 Aug '11

12 Aug '11

Hi all, I work in a research lab and we're interested in using your stack to send SMS. I've got some time on my hands and a working OpenBTS stack (USRP), so I will probably go ahead and start implementing it in the mobile app. Before I start I just wanted to ask first about the status of mobile-originated SMS? I saw some traffic in the archives a few months back from Gianni about mobile-terminated SMS, but nothing recent about mobile-originated SMS. Barring that, any suggestions on where to start? :) I'm kinda new here. Assuming I get something solid working, I'd of course be willing to contribute it back to the codebase. Thanks, Andrew

osmocomBB purpose & GSMs
by aik821 aik821 11 Aug '11

11 Aug '11

Hi all, I'm new in these forums and osmocomBB. I was wondering, how does osmocomBB work. install 2 packages, one on the phone and the other on a PC Host? And then you are able to call/sms and anything a GSM phone can do? And you can change the GSM protocol/stack if you want to? So pretty much your PC becomes a GSM terminal? also Are there any simple guides to setup the whole thing? Ahmed

Hi all, probably is a silly question but is there a way to set the tx signal strength of the ms? thanks, loretta -- View this message in context: http://baseband-devel.722152.n3.nabble.com/tx-signal-strength-tp3245572p324… Sent from the baseband-devel mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

Fwd: i got C115 device . now i am searching for the cable to flash the Build on to the device.

To: nagesh reddy <karnatinagesh(a)gmail.com> I too have a C115 at home. I ordered it to flash and so I could experience a little hands-on learning with GPRS. The first thing I noticed was that there was no usb port or data cable input of any kind on the phone. After a little digging, I found that it has a line of JTAG pads under the battery. I wasn't equipped or trained to tackle JTAG so I stopped where you are. Hopefully, you'll get an answer so I can pick up where I left off when I'm back home with my C115.

i am bit new to GSM and osmocombb. does osmocombb support RRLP protocol. @herald i saw in your presentation that we can send custom time advance. does that related to RRLP. also can we fake position using osmocombb? -- Akib Sayyed Matrix-Shell akibsayyed(a)gmail.com akibsayyed(a)matrixshell.com Mob:- +91-966-514-2243

Issue with GSM1800/1900
by Dieter Spaar 05 Aug '11

05 Aug '11

Hello Andreas, there is a small issue with GSM1800/1900 in the mobile application: When a location update is performed, the wrong power capability is set in Mobile Station Classmark 1. As a workaround I fixed it this way: --- ./host/layer23/src/mobile/gsm48_mm.c Mon Jul 25 15:40:50 2011 +++ r:./host/layer23/src/mobile/gsm48_mm.c Thu Aug 04 13:15:09 2011 @@ -2321,7 +2321,11 @@ gsm_print_mcc(subscr->mcc), gsm_print_mnc(subscr->mnc), subscr->lac); /* classmark 1 */ +#if 0 pwr_lev = gsm48_current_pwr_lev(set, rr->cd_now.arfcn); +#else /* cd_now not yet set, take selected cell ARFCN !? */ + pwr_lev = gsm48_current_pwr_lev(set, rr->ms->cellsel.sel_arfcn); +#endif gsm48_encode_classmark1(&nlu->classmark1, sup->rev_lev, sup->es_ind, set->a5_1, pwr_lev); /* MI */ The reason for the the wrong power capability comes from the fact that "rr->cd_now" is not yet set and so the ARFCN is 0 which causes the GSM900 power capability to be used. It is set to "Class 4" in the configuration file per default, however this value is not defined for GSM1800/1900. I am not sure if my workaround is perfect, you are the expert for "mobile" ;-) Although this might sound like not that important (networks with OpenBSC or OpenBTS don't care at all about the value) there are some real networks out there which don't like it. On a related note: The default TX power calibration curve for GSM900 causes too less TX power for GSM1800/1900, expecially for low power settings. I will try to improve my current workaround for this and provide a patch. Best regards, Dieter -- Dieter Spaar, Germany spaar(a)mirider.augusta.de
