I verified it, decreasing NM_ATT_BS11_RADIO_MEAS_GRAN to a
smaller value (I used 5 which means about 2.4 seconds)
will show the measurement results as expected. The default
setting of 254 is just too large so that you normally won't
notice them during testing.

Dieter

NM_ATT_BS11_RADIO_MEAS_REP, 0x01, 0x01,
measurement report is enabled in msg_6[], but no report messages during
call or setup. this TRX-config seems to tell the mobile to send reports.
what do i need to tell the BTS to forward the reports to BSC?
hi,
i like to check out the measturement report feature of GSM. the A-bis
protocol shows measurement report indications, but i can't see any
request to turn it on. on the BCCH it is turned on, as far as i can see
in the bsc_hack.c. what do i miss? (neighbor cell frequencies?)
also i like to get continuous informations about timing advance. any
idea on how to retrieve these informations?
regards,
andreas

A quick idea without having verified it: You can try to
decrease NM_ATT_BS11_RADIO_MEAS_GRAN which is currently set
to 254 (0xFE). The unit seems to be "SACCH multiframes" which
is about 470 ms. If this attribute and its value means that a
report should only be sent about every 120 seconds, it would take
quite some time to see the report. However I am not 100% if this
attribute really has this meaning.

Hello guys,
I was reading the nanoBTS product description and found support for
"Network Listen" feature to monitor and decode GSM base stations. Is
that an ip.access specific protocol? If so, does anyone has the ability
to revers engineer this particular function. That would be really great!
I would like to scan other ARFCNs for neighbourcells and fill the
information in SI 2, 3 or 4, don't remeber which one.
Thank you.
> If anyone wants to look further into this, I'm happy to record some
PCAP files with some example RTP/RTCP dumps. If you want, even combined
with the TCP connection to the BSC, so you have a correct timeline and
know what the BSC told the BTS when, and how the BTS reacted to that.
i would like to see some of this payload, but without any BSC traffic.
when i see in the future, i see that a bts directly forwards rtp data to
remote sip phone or media gateway or other bts. therefore it must be a
standard. i think it is gsm audio coded.

You need an active connection between the BTS and the MS to get the
measurement reports. The BTS will send its own results together with
the data received from the MS. If the cell has neighbor cells the
MS will also report their data (right now bsc_hack does not configure
any neighbor cells).
I am not sure if you will get the measurement reports for an active
connection by default or if they have to be turned on with a "Start
Measurement" command over OML.

TA is included in the measurement report from the BTS. Please be aware
that a value other than 0 means that you are more than about 550 meter
away with the MS from the BTS so you cover a rather large area with
your BTS ;-)
Best regards,
Dieter

Please forget about the "Start Measurement" OML message, they have been
introduced with newer versions of GSM 12.21 and are most certainly not
available with the BS-11 (and probably intended for other things).

harald,
could you please change my email within the source code?
my email is "a ndr ea s aet ever sber g dot eu". (remove spaces) this
works much better, even after versatel era :-].
