R: Re: GPRS Vs EDGE - Trying to decode my own sessions
Hi all, just to explain what i mean, i've attached a sample and the log from layer23. http://pastebin.com/pepx0tdv As you can see from the log i got the immediate-assign. and the i can see the slots. The only thing that i could be strange is the signal strength that sometimes is good and sometimes reaches -100 dBm. Here is the gprsdecode's output: http://pastebin.com/p7XrtKAt Obviously i tried other ARFCNs of all operators (with different c118/c123, FTDI cable) and i got always the same behaviour. Have you some hints to suggest? Tomorrow i will try with some DP-L10 and pubblish the relative results. P.S: As i already stated, Nohl's samples are well decoded and showed into wireshark.

Hi Harald,
Actually i could use some old phones that supports only GPRS (e.g. t68i, t39m, etc..), but these phones are not enough useful and i will explain why:
- i would like to use a phone that has field-test engineering; - i would like to set the phone to camp only in a fixed ARFCN.
I was also trying a Pirelli DP-L10, but unfortunately i can only fix the band and not the arfcn.
Btw... after a while i finally found how to force my Blackberry to work on GPRS on a fixed arfcn:
- Select an arfcn; - Lock to this cell; [ http://tinyurl.com/3dcc6vm ] - Disable Uplink 8-PSK; [ http://tinyurl.com/3dxp85d ]
Finally the phone is ready to start the tests. [ http://tinyurl.com/3rhldrn ]
As you can see, that engineering field-test is very useful because is showing which Coding Scheme and TS are used.
Unfortunately at this point... even if i tried a lot of times, i could see imm-ass, the TS, but when i'm trying to decode the dumps... nothing is decoded and i cannot even decode third-party sessions that obviously i could find on the same arfcn that i'm using.
So, at this state of art, I could decode only samples released from Nohl. Someone else is having same problems?
Regards,
Luca
