Re: Help with sccp library

I means: is the interaction with mtp3 layer implemented (is sending sccp data by mtp3 implemented by the library?)? Also, what about the reception of data from mtp3 layer. is that implemented in the sccp lib. I am asking these questions because I see the code of mtp3 in the lib but no significant call is present in the sccp part of the lib. Thank you for your help.

Several questions
by jason mercury 06 Dec '12

06 Dec '12

I have some questions: 1) When I start bsc_hack bsc_init.c first establishes OML link and initializes the bts then it establishes RSL link and bts starts broadcasting. However, it takes so much time to start the bts. Instead of this I want to do the following: it establishes OML link at the beginning and only once, then when i want to start broadcasting it establishes just the RSL link and bts will start faster since i don't have to wait for OML link. What should be done for this? 2) If i send one or two word messages from telnet interface it is okay. But if i send a longer message the phone could't receive the end of the message correctly(last words may be incomplete). Did any one encounter with this problem? What is wrong with me? 3) Could I send SMS in which extension of the sender is text not integer. For example, i want to send an information SMS that this is a test network. For this purpose i want to send an SMS from 'OpenBSC'. I set the extension of the first subscriber in database as text and tried to send the SMS but SMS wasn't delivered. What should i do? 4) Can i add SMS externally to SMS table of database? Thanks. Jason

LCR + Asterisk + NanoBTS: Strange Voice Behaviour "Dropping incompatible voice frame on lcr/1"
by Luca Bongiorni 08 Nov '11

08 Nov '11

Hi all, i compiled and configured all (mISDN, lcr, asterisk, etc...), unfortunately, when i try to place a call from the softphone to the MS, i can ear only the voice originated from the laptop to the MS and not viceversa. I'm using it on an Ubuntu 10.4, Asterisk 1.6.2.5 and the others sources from "last git". Configurations: - extension.conf: http://pastebin.com/mHH46HbQ - sip.conf: http://pastebin.com/SkPN3z6q - gsm.conf: http://pastebin.com/C1Eckdgh - interface.conf: http://pastebin.com/ctGapa1F - options.conf: http://pastebin.com/6xhgL0P1 - routing.conf: http://pastebin.com/TVNvwTEB Logs: - osmo-nitb's log: http://pastebin.com/X10B5NjE - lcr's log: http://pastebin.com/uLY9VAiB - Asterisk's log: http://pastebin.com/8qzw6aMn As you can see from Asterisk, there is a mismatch: "NOTICE[2315]: channel.c:2960 __ast_read: Dropping incompatible voice frame on lcr/1 of format alaw since our native format has changed to 0x0 (nothing) " I tried to set alaw / ulaw on the configurations, to change efr, fr and amr, but it didn't change nothing. Ideas or hints for further investigations are welcome. Regards, Luca

[RFC] MNCC introduce a hello packet to include a version number
by Holger Hans Peter Freyther 01 Nov '11

01 Nov '11

Hi Jolly, all, I spent some time figuring out why LCR and OpenBSC wouldn't want to work with each other. The reason was the addition of an element to the MNCC structure. I propose to send a hello packet down the MNCC socket and leave it to the client to decide if the version is acceptable. I will need to move the mncc header to libosmocore as osmocomBB is currently using a copy of the OpenBSC header. comments holger

OpenBSC implementation problem
by Marek Świąder 28 Oct '11

28 Oct '11

Dear Sir or Madam, We are students from Poznan University of Technology in Poland.We want to develop our GUI enhancement for OpenBSC project.It's about adding and deleting users registered in network. We have already implemented adding logged users, but we couldn't make this part of program, which is responsible for deleting users when they have already logged out. Could you give some advice, where to find appropriate place in the source code in OpenBSC. Thanks in advance. Best regards Marek Świąder

Looking for a CSN.1 library
by Alexander Chemeris 27 Oct '11

27 Oct '11

Hi all, Does anyone know a good C/C++ library for CSN.1 bitstream reading/writing? We're working on a GPRS implementation for OpenBTS and we don't want to code all those RLC/MAC messages by hands when we can do this automatically. Right now we think that the easiest way is to re-purpose csn1 "library" from Wireshark - adopt it to OpenBTS bitstream operations and add support for writing to bitstream. Then we can even re-use those RLC/MAC messages already converted to macros' for Wireshark's rlcmac dissector. But we would appreciate if someone points us to a better way of doing this. -- Regards, Alexander Chemeris.

how to know GPRS channel coding
by John Wu 27 Oct '11

27 Oct '11

Hi all, I want to know how to know GPRS channel coding. GPRS using PDCH, both MAC/RLC data block and MAC/RLC control block is transmitted on PDCH, although there is PACCH, PTCH, PTCCH and so on it still PDCH. then the MAC/RLC control block is coded with cs-1 channel coding scheme and MAC/RLC data block may be coded with other channel coding scheme. so when received a burst how to know what kind of MAC/RLC block it belong to and which channel coding scheme it used? Thanks!

Way to invoke multiple imsi msisdn in sgnsemu
by anish achenkunju 21 Oct '11

21 Oct '11

Hi All, Wondering if there is a way to create pdp request for multple imsi or msisdn. Currently there is an option to emulate more than one pdp context, can we do the same for different imsi's or msisdn via sgsnemu as an input to sgsnemu.conf file? Thank you in advance. Anish

[PATCH] mncc: Introduce a hello packet that is sent to the client.
by Holger Hans Peter Freyther 21 Oct '11

Send a hello packet down to the client with the version number of the MNCC interface.
