trx output power config in bts
by Mario Lucas 14 Dec '20

14 Dec '20

Dear team could you pls help me with this question In bts config we have following entries: trx 0 nominal power 23 ! to use full TRX power, set max_power_red 0 max_power_red 20 and osmotrx tx-attenuation (oml|<0-50>) So why do we need these «max_power_red 20» and «osmotrx tx-attenuation» which both as i understand weaken the signal? If we want to have a weak signal why we just don’t use only «nominal power» with whatever weak or strong signal value we want? -- Mario Lucas

Channel Synchronization Problem with USRP
by Alex Costouris 04 Dec '20

04 Dec '20

Hello, I have built a local GSM network with the Osmocom Stack and an Ettus B200. I can see and attach to the network with my smartphone. Now, i want to use another usrp to simulate a mobile device but i am having trouble with synchronization with the channel. I think the problem lays in the layer 1 control channel or maybe even with the mobile configuration file. It starts camping on the channel, gets sysinfo, ccch mode COMB but then following a FBSB RESP: result=255 i get a channel synch error. Any help in steering me to the right direction would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance. mobile configuration file: ! ! OsmocomBB example configuration for mobile application !! ! line vty no login ! gps device /dev/ttyACM0 gps baudrate default no gps enable ! no hide-default ! ms 1 layer2-socket /tmp/osmocom_l2

Osmocom C files syntax understanding
by Mario Lucas 26 Nov '20

26 Nov '20

Dear baseband-developers team, Would you be so kind to advise me on the following: I desire (dramatically want very much) to learn / understand Osmocom projects. I am a beginner in programming and i try to understand / learn C files that the project is build of. As an example i tried to learn / understand for example an Osmocom message buffer — msgb.h file. But immediately faced some syntax difficulties: This is the extract of msgb.h file: struct msgb { struct llist_head list; /*!< \brief linked list header */ /* Part of which TRX logical channel we were received / transmitted */ /* FIXME: move them into the control buffer */ union { void *dst; /*!< \brief reference of origin/destination */ struct gsm_bts_trx *trx; }; As it can be seen a structure «msgb» has as one of its components another structure — «gsm_bts_trx» But in whole Osmocom BB project files i could not find definition / description of struct «gsm_bts_trx». Would you kindly advise me please how to see which components / constituents / elements are in this gsm_bts_trx structure? From which components is struct gsm_bts_trx build of? Thank you so much for your kind advise. -- Mario Lucas

Dropped packets by HW.... Dumping Stale bursts
by Mario Lucas 25 Nov '20

25 Nov '20

Dear all, I am using LimeSDRmini to run osmo-bts… During operation from time-to time (and sometimes quite frequently) following messages pop-up in terminal: «Dropped packets by HW!» and «Dumping Stale bursts...» I guess my LimeSDRmini is dropping some packets. LimeSDRmini configuration is: Firmware 6, Hardware 3, Protocol1, Gateware 1.3. Would you advise — may be there is more or less stable firmware version that to some extent is stable while working with Osmo-bts ? Thanks -- Mario Lucas

PCU socket not connected, dropping message
by Mario Lucas 24 Nov '20

24 Nov '20

Dear baseband developers team, I built home gsm network with Osmo-stp-msc-hlr-bsc-bts, osmo-trx limeSDR. I managed and registered phones. I did send sms between each other. However when i decided to make a call — i noticed following message in terminal: «PCU socket not connected, dropping message». I searched on Osmocom web site and it is said that pcu socket is involved in GPRS things (i.e. in internet). Therefore why does such message appears when i try to make simple call between two mobiles — it has nothing to do with GPRS… And what would you advise me how to resolve this ? P.S. initially when i was about to start osmo-bts-trx i got message «PCU L1 socket failed» and i just renamed the pcu_bts file to some other name and osmo-bts-trx started. Thank you so much for your kind reply. Best regards -- Mario Lucas

OsmoDevCon / COVID-19
by Harald Welte 05 Sep '20

05 Sep '20

Dear fellow Osmocom developers, as you all know, we've sadly had to postpone OsmoDevCon 2020 back in April this year. At the time, we discussed to re-visit the situation in October 2020. While legally it is no problem at all to host an event with ~ 20 participants in Berlin/Germany (specific regulations really only start from 50+ participants) - I'm not entirely convinced it would be the smartest move. Legality and public health regulations are only one part of the equation - common sense and profound care for the key members of our community for sure are more relevant considerations to me. I'm not 100% in favour and not 100% against. Hence, I would like to get your input. Should we a) try to get an event organized on-site in Berlin? We'd have to move to a larger venue than IN-Berlin with proper ventilation and sufficient space so we can keep physical distance, but I think that's manageable for sysmocom as organizer. b) simply postpone to 2021? I'm convinced the situation will not change significantly (in a positive way) until late April 2021, so it's not really a "solution" as it will likely mean we have to think of late 2021 or 2022. c) plan some kind of online conference? To be honest, I think this model works fine for events where a single speaker wants to give lectures to hundreds or thousands of participants. But OsmoDevCon is much more interactive. We could record or live-stream some talks or screencasts from home, sure. But that only captures one part of the event. We could also try to set a date for a collaborative mumble, or the like - for the "hallway track". What are your thoughts? Let's avoid cross-posting the discussion to all of the mailing lists and simply have it on openbsc(a)lists.osmocom.org.

Osmocom scheduled outage on *2020-07-19 9am CEST*
by Harald Welte 19 Jul '20

19 Jul '20

There is an urgent need to migrate our most important public infrastructure to a new server, and I will be doing that on *Sunday, July 19 2020*, starting about 9am CEST. The migration involves redmine (main osmocom.org website), jenkins, gerrit, git, and cgit. In theory, the migration should be quick. I would expect (significantly) less than one hour of downtime. However, we all know Murphys law. Services not affected are mail (including mailman lists), ftp, dns. So in case of doubt, we can still use mailing lists to communicate. In case anyone urgently needs osmocom source code on Sunday morning during the downtime: There are public mirrors available on github.
