Experimental nanoBTS EDGE support
by Harald Welte 19 Apr '10

19 Apr '10

Hi! I've been working on a set of patches to enable configuring the nanoBTS to not only support GPRS but also EDGE. After some testing, I've merged them into the master branch. In order to enable EDGE, you need to use 'gprs mode egprs'. Also, you still need an external SGSN or use the gprs-sgsn branch (which has been rebased). Your phones should then show 'E' instead of 'G'. I haven't actually benchmarked the transfer speed, i.e. if it really is giving the expected performance improvement.

SMS Alpha Originator
by Stuart Baggs 18 Apr '10

18 Apr '10

Hi guys I have been looking through the SMS functionality of openBSC and I can see that the HLR / SMS database uses an sender_id (a secondary key of the Subscriber database). Is it possible to send SMS messages with an alpha originator i.e. from a string of text up to 11 characters? I also noticed that using the telnet interface, the command to send a SMS does not leave a trace in the sql database. Thanks, Stuart

Re: BS-11 multidrop problem
by till 15 Apr '10

15 Apr '10

Hi, i am still trying to get hose two BS-11 to run. The hfcmulti driver is now configured with dmask and bmask (just had the wrong version, thx to Andreas). But there are still no OML and RSL-connections to the second BS-11 initialized. And i found no possibility to put bport1 into multidrop. I appreciate any help :) ! "The problem is now solved. It seems that we need to create the BPORT1 object on BTS-A, and configure both BPORT0 and BPORT1 into multi-drop mode. Thanks to Dieter for his help with that."

Introductory text on typical GSM phone hardware
by Harald Welte 14 Apr '10

14 Apr '10

Hi! While working on OsmocomBB, I wrote a small introductory text explaining how current GSM phone hardware actually looks like (and works). You can download it from http://laforge.gnumonks.org/papers/gsm_phone-anatomy-v0.2.pdf Hope this is useful for one or the other person here on this list...
