Re: Help with sccp library

> I don't understand. This callback will be called with data you need to write > to the network. In case of MTP Level3 you will need to wrap that around the > msgb you got. 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.

SimpleHLR: A web interface for OpenBSC
by Peter Caprioli 03 Jun '13

03 Jun '13

Hello everyone, I've just finnished writing together a small web interface for the OpenBSC HLR. It allows you to modify various parameters in the database and also provides a set of functions to modify the HLR or sending SMSes in your own scripts. The project is still very alpha but it seems to work reasonably good. Feel free to give any feedback! Screenshots and source code is available on my website: https://stormhub.org/simplehlr/ -- *Best regards, Peter Caprioli*

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

Racal 6113 For Sale
by Caleb Pal 25 Jan '12

25 Jan '12

All, I have a Racal/Aeroflex 6113 for sale. As most of you probably know, this is a GSM test set capable of initializing and running certain BTS over an ABIS link. It has a few handy features such as a power meter, etc. The unit is out of cal. I have used it to run measurements on an Ericsson RBS 2401, which is also available. Comes with power cord and a memory card for storing test sequences and test results. The unit is well loaded with options, as seen below. To my knowledge all functions of this unit work. Asking price is $1500 USD + shipping. I am willing to ship overseas, BUT, it is the buyers responsibility to complete all import/export paperwork needed. Be advised it is a rather heavy unit, so shipping OCONUS will be more expensive. Any questions please feel free to contact me off list at cleb(a)defcon-3.net.

openbsc no sound
by admin＠manateeshome.com 24 Jan '12

24 Jan '12

hello, I updated my openbsc to newest git version. and since then I do not get any sounds. The setup was working just fine before. So I presume that the problem is within openbsc <000b> osmo_msc.c:72 Assignment complete should not have been reached. <000b> bsc_api.c:331 Sending ChanModify for speech 0 1 <000b> bsc_api.c:118 Using non speech mode: 0 I think this causes the problem. But I have not changed any configuration files or anything. Can somebody tell me how to fix it? I am using a 1900mhz edge nanobts

wireshark GSMTAP
by David A. Burgess 20 Jan '12

20 Jan '12

Hello - I have been using Wireshark 1.7 from wireshark.org for GSMTAP analysis. I have seen some discrepancies that might be bugs. So I have two questions. First, is there a better-suited WS with more up-to-date GSMTAP support that I should be using (and hopefully pre-built for Mac OS X)? Second, where should I report these suspected bugs? -- David

by Peter 20 Jan '12

20 Jan '12

Hello, I'm new around here and started from scratch with a new Ubuntu server. I followed the openBSC build guide on the WIKI page http://openbsc.osmocom.org/trac/wiki/Building_OpenBSC. Building libosmocore went smoothly Building libosmo-abis ended in an error: ===== checking for ORTP... no configure: error: Package requirements (ortp >= 0.13.1) were not met: No package 'ortp' found ===== Where can I find the ortp package? And secondly, is this the right version? I saw version 0.15.0 mentioned in the mail archives aready. Thanks in advance, Peter.

nanoBTS failure
by Jason Mercury 20 Jan '12

20 Jan '12

Hi, I am using OpenBSC with nanoBTS 165CU and 165AU models. In normal location update BTS sends CHAN ACT NACK several times for the same ts and ss. After that it sends some failure messages and restart the trx. Here i copy the related logs from openbsc console: Thu Jan 19 15:44:03 2012 <0000> chan_alloc.c:421 (bts=0,trx=0,ts=6,ss=0) starting release sequence Thu Jan 19 15:44:03 2012 <0003> gsm_04_08_utils.c:231 Sending Channel Release: Chan: Number: 0 Type: 2 Thu Jan 19 15:44:03 2012 <0004> abis_rsl.c:579 (bts=0,trx=0,ts=6,ss=0) DEACTivate SACCH CMD Thu Jan 19 15:44:03 2012 <0004> abis_rsl.c:968 (bts=0,trx=0,ts=6,ss=0): MEAS RES for inactive channel Thu Jan 19 15:44:04 2012 <0004> abis_rsl.c:968 (bts=0,trx=0,ts=6,ss=0): MEAS RES for inactive channel Thu Jan 19 15:44:05 2012 <0004> abis_rsl.c:891 (bts=0,trx=0,ts=6,ss=0) CONNECTION FAIL: RELEASING CAUSE=0x01(Radio Link Failure) Thu Jan 19 15:44:05 2012 <0004> abis_rsl.c:621 (bts=0,trx=0,ts=6,ss=0) RF Channel Release CMD due error 1 Thu Jan 19 15:44:05 2012 <0004> abis_rsl.c:968 (bts=0,trx=0,ts=6,ss=0): MEAS RES for inactive channel Thu Jan 19 15:44:08 2012 <0004> abis_rsl.c:594 (bts=0,trx=0,ts=6,ss=0) is back in operation.

I could not realize the reason of the problem but i think there is something wrong about the sequence of channel activation, release, ack and nack messages between openbsc and bts. Could somebody help about the solution of this or at give some idea to realize the problem? Thanks Jason

CRC
by Anjali Sharma 20 Jan '12

20 Jan '12

I am trying to generate CRC table mentioned in openbsc/src/gprs/crc24.c file (http://lingrok.org/source/xref/openbsc/openbsc/src/gprs/crc24.c) I modified a CRC16 code to generate CRC24 (updated polynomial as per LLC specification). But I can not get right table. Below is source code. Can someone help me out? //****************************************************************************** // // Copyright (c) 1999 Axon Instruments. // All rights reserved. // //****************************************************************************** // HEADER: CRC16.cpp // PURPOSE: Contains functions calculating a 16 bit CRC code. // SOURCE: http://www.brokersys.com/snippets/ file: CRC_16F.C // #define POLYNOMIAL 0xAD85DD #define CRC_WIDTH 24 #define BITS_PER_BYTE 8 typedef unsigned int WORD; typedef unsigned int UINT; typedef char BYTE; static WORD correctCRCtable[1<<BITS_PER_BYTE] = // as per openbsc/src/gprs/crc24.c { 0x00000000, 0x00d6a776, 0x00f64557, 0x0020e221, 0x00b78115, 0x00612663, 0x0041c442, 0x00976334, 0x00340991, 0x00e2aee7, 0x00c24cc6, 0x0014ebb0, 0x00838884, 0x00552ff2, 0x0075cdd3, 0x00a36aa5, /* skip rest */ }; void InitCRCtab() { int v, i; int b; for ( b = 0; b <= (1<<BITS_PER_BYTE)-1; ++b ) { int v = b << (CRC_WIDTH-BITS_PER_BYTE); int i; for (i = BITS_PER_BYTE; --i >= 0; ) v = v&0x800000 ?

The CRC-24 is used to detect bit errors in the frame header and information fields. The FCS field contains the value of a CRC calculation that is performed over the entire contents of the header and information field, except for UI frames transmitted in unprotected mode, in which case the FCS field contains the value of a CRC calculation that is performed over the frame header and the first N202 octets (see subclause 8.9.6) of the information field only (see subclause 6.3.5.5.2). The information over which the CRC is calculated is referred to as the dividend in this subclause. Bit (1, 1) of the dividend is the highest-order term in the calculation (see subclause 5.7.3). CRC calculation shall be done before ciphering at the transmitting side, and after deciphering at the receiving side. NOTE: The definition below is different from that in 3GPP TS 24.022 [10] only with respect to the variable dividend length k of the LLC frames. In 3GPP TS 24.022, the RLP frame has a fixed dividend length, but the LLC frame has a variable dividend length. The CRC shall be the ones complement of the sum (modulo 2) of: - the remainder of x^k (x^23 + x^22 + x^21 +... + x^2 + x + 1) divided (modulo 2) by the generator polynomial, where k is the number of bits of the dividend; and - the remainder of the division (modulo 2) by the generator polynomial of the product of x^24 by the dividend. The CRC-24 generator polynomial is: G(x) = x^24 + x^23 + x^21 + x^20 + x^19 + x^17 + x^16 + x^15 + x^13 + x^8 + x^7 + x^5 + x^4 + x^2 + 1 The result of the CRC calculation is placed within the FCS field as described in subclause 5.7.3. NOTE: As a typical implementation at the transmitter, the initial content of the register of the device computing the remainder of the division is pre-set to all "1's" and is then modified by division by the generator polynomial (as described above) of the dividend; the ones complement of the resulting remainder is put into the FCS field. As a typical implementation at the receiver, the initial content of the register of the device computing the remainder of the division is pre-set to all "1's". The final remainder, after multiplication by x24 and then division (modulo 2) by the generator polynomial of the received frame, will be (in the absence of errors): C(x) = x^22 + x^21 + x^19 + x^18 + x^16 + x^15 + x^11 + x^8 + x^5 + x^4 */
