[PATCH] Use generic osmocom auth api

by ☎

Hi. Attached is a small patch which replaces direct call to comp128 from libosmocore to auth api call. This will help to remove comp128 from libosmocore public api and to use other auth functions in openbsc in future. -- best regards, Max, http://fairwaves.ru

Unbounded AGCH queue in OsmoBTS

by Alexander Chemeris

Hi all, We're moving this discussion to the mailing list, as it seems it is more generic and complex than we've thought initially. The issue arose when I started doing load testing of the OsmoTRX transceiver and disabled all gating in it. As a result, all incoming noise was processed as valid Normal Bursts and Access Bursts and sent up to OsmoBTS. This leads to a situation, similar to a RACH flood, when there are more RACH requests coming, than a BTS could reasonably process. And this leads to an unbounded increase of the AGCH queue in the BTS - it consumes a few Mb per minute. I think that this is the root cause of the issue we've seen at a Netherlands festival installation, when 20K phones suddenly started connecting to our station after official networks went down. When the amount of RACH requests exceeded available CCCH capacity (took <5 seconds), mobile phones stopped answering out IMM.ASS messages. Hypothesis is that the AGCH queue became so long, requests were sent too late for a phone to receive it. And thus no phones answered to our IMM.ASS messages. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to collect enough data to check this hypothesis during that time and we don't have another big festival on hands atm. An attached is a quick fix for the unbounded queue growth. It uses a hardcoded value for the maximum queue length, which is fine for our load testing, but not flexible enough for the real life usage. We should make the AGCH queue long enough to keep high performance. At the same time, it must not exceed MS timeout or _all_ IMM.ASS messages will miss their target MS's. We could make this parameter user-configurable on a BTS side, but it seems more reasonable to automatically calculate it, depending on the channel combination and timeout values. But this should be done on the BSC side. So the questions are: 1) what is a good way to calculate it? 2) should we configure this queue length over OML, or move the queue from BTS to BSC? -- Regards, Alexander Chemeris.

Re: Openbsc support for new BTS

Please see the following code from bts_ipaccess_nanobts.c: ============== /* Callback function to be called whenever we get a GSM 12.21 state change event */ static int nm_statechg_event(int evt, struct nm_statechg_signal_data *nsd) { [...] case NM_OC_RADIO_CARRIER: trx = obj; if (new_state->operational == NM_OPSTATE_DISABLED && new_state->availability == NM_AVSTATE_OK) abis_nm_opstart(trx->bts, obj_class, trx->bts->bts_nr, trx->nr, 0xff); break; ============== So the opstrart for the RADIO_CARRIER is sent in response to an incoming NM_MT_STATECHG_EVENT_REP withe the operational state set to DISABLED and the availability set to OK. My guess is that you are not sending such a state event from the BTS to the BSC. I can also not see that in the pcap file you have sent. All OML messages in there relate to the Site MAnager or the BTS object class, but there are no messages related to any other MOs. As indicated, it is best to start from a known-working setup with a supported BTS model, or at least from a protocol trace of an existing supported configuration. Please also make sure to set your 'bts model' to nanobts, I _think_ the 'bts model sysmobts' is still broken.

[PATCH 1/4] Each BTS can be configured for speech support (other than GSM full rate)

by Andreas Eversberg

Speech codings which are not supported by BTS will be removed from the bearer capability information element after parsing. This way it is not required for the MNCC application to consider support of each BTS. Only GSM full rate is supported by default. --- openbsc/include/openbsc/gsm_data_shared.h | 9 ++++ openbsc/src/libbsc/bsc_vty.c | 72 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ openbsc/src/libmsc/gsm_04_08.c | 28 +++++++++++ 3 files changed, 109 insertions(+), 0 deletions(-) diff --git a/openbsc/include/openbsc/gsm_data_shared.h b/openbsc/include/openbsc/gsm_data_shared.h index 84d15ef..4a41498 100644 --- a/openbsc/include/openbsc/gsm_data_shared.h +++ b/openbsc/include/openbsc/gsm_data_shared.h @@ -143,6 +143,12 @@ struct bts_ul_meas { uint8_t inv_rssi;

[PATCH] nitb: Set the DST field in generated MM info messages

by Jacob Erlbeck

Currently the NET_DST information element (see GSM 24.008) is not included in generated MM info messages even when the DST field in the timezone info has been set via the VTY or the control interface. This patch modifies gsm48_tx_mm_info() to append this information element if (and only if) a non-zero DST has been configured. The DST IE is not part of GSM 4.8. Therefore it will only be sent, if the DST offset is configured to a value != 0.

Making jolly/testing ready to be merged?

by Holger Hans Peter Freyther

Dear Andreas, going through the patchset of jolly/testing in OpenBSC it would be nice to get most of the things merged (having TCH/H support for something like the 31C3 is a nice goal). I wanted to start with merging the Connection Failure Criteria code but I am confused about the conversion. When parsing the criteria value from from the VTY you divide by four and subtract (so 4 becomes 0). You ondo this when saving the config and patching it in the nanoBTS attribute array. Wouldn't it be more easy to not doing the conversion? holger

OsmoDevCon 2014 / Date / Venue

by Harald Welte

Hi all, time is moving fast, and I want to start some initial discussion and planning for OsmoDevCon 2014. There are basically four questions which I'm raising below. Please provide your feedback to the osmocom-event-orga mailing list only, to avoid cross-posting over all the project lists. = Who? = My intention is to keep it an 'active developer/contributer only' event, like we had it before. I would also want to keep the group relatively small, to keep the 'Osmocom family' atmosphere. If desired, we could have one half or full day of public prsentations in a larger auditorium, but the developer meeting should be a close group, as known so far. = Where? = If we keep the number of attendees within the same range as this year, then I'm sure we could again hold it at the same venue. I know it is not perfect, but it is a place that we have access to, 24 hours per day, and free of cost for community projects like osmocom.org. If the community wants a larger event, then this is something that would require more funds and much more time organizing. And that is something that I personally could not offer to take care of, sorry. I'm happy to attend and support any larger events, but I'm unable to take care of fundraising and venue research. = When? = Q1/2014. In January, I'm not aware of any 'blocker' events. February, there is Fosdem (Feb 1 + Feb 2), and MWC from Feb 24 through Feb 27. In March there is CeBIT (March 10-14) and Easter holidays (with EasterHegg March 17-21). Did I miss any other FOSS / mobile event that might clash in Q1? So my preference woudl be to do it either late January (23-26) or in February (6-9 or 13-16). Any preferences regarding preferred schedule? Once we have some concencus here on the list [and we want to do it in the same size / venue], I'll talk to IN-Berlin. = What? = I think that question is easy to answer, if we have the above three figured out... There's no shortage of topics, I suppose. You can start adding your suggestions to http://openbsc.osmocom.org/trac/wiki/OsmoDevCon2014 Regards, Harald -- - Harald Welte <laforge(a)gnumonks.org> http://laforge.gnumonks.org/ ============================================================================ "Privacy in residential applications is a desirable marketing option."
