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

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

sms bugfix

by Dennis Wehrle

Hello Our goal was to send status sms via the vty interface. But all of our sms were cropped. In contrast sms from one MS to another MS are displayed correctly (despite the fact, that the text at the database contains several '@' at the end / the user_data contains several zero-octets). Therefore i have inspect the code and found several bugs. The main problem is that the "user_data_len" is not correctly used. As per GSM 03.40, 9.2.3.16 TP‑User‑Data‑Length (TP‑UDL): "If the TP‑User‑Data is coded using the GSM 7 bit default alphabet, the TP‑User‑Data‑Length field gives an integer representation of the number of septets within the TP‑User‑Data field to follow." Currently the "user_data_len" contains the number of octets (returned from gsm_7bit_encode(...) at gsm_utils.c (libosmocore)). The big problem here is that this information is not unique, e.g.: 1.) 46 non-extension characters + 1 extension character => (46 * 7 bit + (1 * (2 * 7 bit))) / 8 bit = 42 octets 2.) 47 non-extension characters => (47 * 7 bit) / 8 bit = 41,125 = 42 octets 3.) 48 non-extension characters => (48 * 7 bit) / 8 bit = 42 octects But the MS has to know the correct "user_data_len" to decode the correct number of characters. For this reason i updated the gsm_7bit_encode() function to return the correct number of septets. However sometimes it is needed to know the correct number of octets (e.g. at gsm_04_11.c: gsm340_gen_tpdu(...)) => i added a function to gsm_utils.c named: uint8_t get_octet_len(const uint8_t sept_len) I have also fixed the problem, that the sms are wrongly stored / displayed on the database. But the solution on the function *sms_from_result(...) (at db.c) is not really "beautiful". This is because there exists no "user_data_len" field at the database. To store the right value for "user_data_len" (which is further needed) i have to get the length from the "text" field. Unfortunately this is not enough. If the text contains extension characters like {[]} etc. then the "user_data_len" has to be bigger because these characters needs two septets. Therefore i use a switch statement so search for these characters. A better solution for that is to store the right "user_data_len" to the database (on the encoding / decoding procedure). But i don't know if this is a suitable solution for all of you (because you have to change your database structure etc.). Best Regards Dennis Wehrle

RTP-Proxy without MNCC-BuildIn no running

by meckel＠netzing.de

Hi List I want to use OpenBSC with Asterisk and LCR. After a lot of reading I found out that openbsc must start with the Paramters "-m" and "-P". But i got a lot error messages like: <0006> gsm_04_08.c:2960 receive message GSM_TCH_FRAME <0006> gsm_04_08.c:2992 TCH frame to lchan without RTP connection So i tried a lot and start only with -P and the RTP-Proxy started. But LCR and Asterisk sure not involved because the missing "-m". So i need "-m". It is a bug or a feature that "-P" will be ignored if I set "-m"? I´m sitting over the bsc code but until this moment I didnt found something so I hope somebody here can help. Ulrich Meckel

Problem with RTP-Proxy

by Luca Bertoncello

Hi, list! We are trying to connect OpenBSC and Asterisk together (through LCR), but we have many problems. We start OpenBSC with the parameters -P -m --debug=DRLL:DCC:DMM:DRR:DRSL:DMNCC:DMSC:DNM:DLCH:DMUX:DHO Now, if we try to call a mobile phone from another one, we get many errors: <0006> gsm_04_08.c:2960 receive message GSM_TCH_FRAME <0006> gsm_04_08.c:2992 TCH frame to lchan without RTP connection Now, if I understand what mncc_tx_to_cc does, I can just think, that the RTP-Proxy is NOT active, but a part of OpenBSC thinks that it IS active. Another interesting problem is, that, although we start OpenBSC to debug the CC, we do NOT get a message like: Setting up TCH map between ... (gsm_04_08.c line 1606) Could someone confirm me my idea? And, maybe, give me a suggestion to fix our problem? We use OpenBSC in the version 0.9.11.375-ca8f.
