Fwd: OSMOCOM-BB HandOver
by Muhammad Awais Aslam 12 Jan '19

12 Jan '19

Hi, We have been working on the handover feature in OsmocomBB and have managed to make some progress including SB/BSIC detection in dedicated mode which was not previously being successfully done in firmware. I wanted to share it and seek guidance on the last bit of handover implementation on which we are stuck. I hope someone would be able to help us or make use of our work. We took code related to handover from the osmocom-bb jolly branch by manually adding/deleting stuff in the master branch as updating to the latest copy was giving us issues. We added code from the “Safely change TPU offset on TS change or sync change” commit till the “Use only sel_si for information about the current cell” commit. Using the handover code in the jolly branch and after making the changes explained below we were able to obtain the handover command from the BTS. The synchronized handover case works sometimes though still not every time, however the non-synchronized case doesn't work at all as we are not able to get the physical information command from the new cell. I'll explain the changes/additions we made to achieve this. Firstly, we noted that in dedicated mode SB burst was not being detected. Changes were required at three main places in order to correctly perform FB/SB detection: - It was seen that the results for SB were being read from DSP API location dsp_api.db_r->a_sch which is for the idle mode. The results had to be read from the dsp_api.ndb->a_sch26 location for the dedicated case if TCH_SB_DSP_TASK is used. - After reading the FB we needed to update the quarter-bit offset of the TPU using the TOA of the FB to sync it with the start of frame of the neighbour cell in order to catch the SB (by changing the vaule of l1s.tpu_offset using the TOA of the FB). - Frequency compensation needed to be performed using the afc_correct function before reading the SB. * We actually kind of cheated a bit by adding 3 frames to the original idle frame in order to give us more time to perform FB/SB detection including the synchronizations mentioned above. This was because we weren't that proficient with the code and someone with more understanding could do this better. The call did not get dropped. We used the initial added “idle” frame to perform the quarter-bit and frequency compensation which was reversed in the idle frame with the response function to tune back to the serving cell. These things, when added to the code did the trick and BSIC of the neighbours was obtained. Once the BSICs were decoded the measurement report sent to the BTS became meaningful and the handover command was received. Upon receiving handover command, access bursts needed to be sent on the new channel which again was not currently being implemented properly as in order to tune to the new cell we needed to know its quarter-bit offset for start of frame, frequency compensation and absolute frame number which were not previously being obtained. Now that we were able to detect FB and SB these values were stored for the neighbours following detection of these bursts and were used to tune to a neighbour cell in case of a handover to it before the sending of access bursts. However, here is where we are stuck. We were expecting a physical information message following the access bursts but were not able to receive it due to which the handover failed. If only that could be achieved we believe handover should be successful. Either we are not syncing properly to the new cell or we might not be following GSM protocol properly. We also might not be reading the FACCH properly for physical information message after tuning to the new cell as we couldn't really understand that bit very well. We wanted someone expertise on this matter and were hoping our work could be of use. We were more interested in getting the work done first up. Best Regards, M. Awais Aslam

OsmoDevCon 2019 registration
by Harald Welte 31 Dec '18

31 Dec '18

Dear fellow Osmocom developers, I'm a bit surprised to notice that not more people have signed up for OsmoDevCon 2019. I guess it was mostly an oversight when the date was originally announced, and not a lack of interest? ;) All details about the event are available at the related wiki page at: https://osmocom.org/projects/osmo-dev-con/wiki/OsmoDevCon2019 Please enter your name at https://osmocom.org/projects/osmo-dev-con/wiki/OsmoDevCon2019#Requested in case you would like to attend. Registering early allows proper planning. Thanks! Looking forward to meeting old and new Osmocom developers in April 2019.

Loading HelloWorld firmware in Motorolla C118
by haiderali91 28 Dec '18

28 Dec '18

Hello, I am trying to load helloworld firmware into my phone (Motorolla C118) using sysmocom CP2102-25 cable by executing the following command sudo ./osmocon -p /dev/ttyUSB0 -m c123xor ../../target/firmware/board/compal_e88/hello_world.compalram.bin But I am not getting any response on pressing power button briefly. The command keeps on executing without any message. What can be the issue and how to deal with/debug this issue. I have also attached a cu terminal by using following command. $ sudo cu -l /dev/ttyUSB0 -s 115200 The cu terminal displays this message on pressing power button. ��A@ftmtoolerror

Hi all, Somoene shared what looks like a quite useful datasheet for MT6260 at the kosagi/fernvale forum. I have downloaded it and looked a bit and it looks very helpful. I have linked to it in the wiki at: https://osmocom.org/projects/baseband/wiki/MT6260 Original post at kosagi forum: https://www.kosagi.com/forums/viewtopic.php?pid=3313#p3313 I hope to rejoin my effort on porting layer1 firmware to fernvale in about 1 month. Cheers, Craig

Re: Voice calls over Virtual Um

Hello Andreas, sorry for late response. > I set up a network with Virtual Um and multiple OsmocomBB > phones. They register, they can send and receive SMS > and I wanted to try voice calls. First of all, it should be noted that voice support in OsmocomBB is experimental and undocumented. I have been working on GAPK back-end integration, and it seems you've already found some branch, but I would recommend to use 'fixeria/audio' instead of 'fixeria/mncc'. > calls can be established, but GAPK is never initialized and > again, I never see voice data appearing as an MNCC message. Please check out the configuration examples [1] for mobile app. There you should find the new 'audio' section, where: io-target hardware means that audio I/O (by default) should be handled by the hardware (i.e. by Calypso phone). GAPK is not enabled by default. In order to use GAPK based back-end, use 'gapk': io-target gapk It probably makes sense to rename 'gapk' to 'alsa', because at the moment 'gapk' enables both voice playback and capture using the audio system of the host that running mobile. > I never seem to receive a GSM_TCHF_FRAME-message on > the MNCC socket. This can also be configured: io-target socket In this case GAPK is not used, and all TCH frames are being forwarded to the MNCC handler 'as-is'. See [2] commit description for details. Please also note that audio I/O target != MNCC handler, that actually implements the Call Control logic. See [3] for details. [1] https://git.osmocom.org/osmocom-bb/tree/doc/examples/mobile/default.cfg?h=f… [2] https://git.osmocom.org/osmocom-bb/commit/?h=fixeria/audio&id=bdb2854503afd… [3] https://git.osmocom.org/osmocom-bb/commit/?h=fixeria/audio&id=22edbf3f846b1… With best regards, Vadim Yanitskiy.

Voice calls over Virtual Um
by Andreas Galauner 20 Nov '18

20 Nov '18

Hi, I set up a network with Virtual Um and multiple OsmocomBB phones. They register, they can send and receive SMS and I wanted to try voice calls. I looked around and found a repository [1] with an MNCC example application which sends voice samples. Calls are established and can be picked up, but on the other end, but I never seem to receive a GSM_TCHF_FRAME-message on the MNCC socket. I then checked out the fixeria/mncc branch [2] which includes GAPK integration which can use ALSA devices for audio, because that's what I need anyway at some point for my project I'm working on. Again, calls can be established, but GAPK is never initialized and again, I never see voice data appearing as an MNCC message. The GAPK audio backend is supposed to be initialized [3] when a CHANNEL MODE MODIFY message is received from the network. I never see the network request a channel mode modify though. I don't know enough about GSM to find out if that message is always supposed to be sent when a call is established or not. Did anybody ever transport audio with two OsmocomBB instances over the Virtual Um interface? Thanks, - Andy [1]: https://github.com/GerardPinto/call-control-mncc-sap [2]: https://git.osmocom.org/osmocom-bb/log/?h=fixeria/mncc [3]: https://git.osmocom.org/osmocom-bb/tree/src/host/layer23/src/mobile/gsm48_r…
