GPRS - local and foreign TLLIs
by Luca Melette 04 Feb '26

04 Feb '26

Hello everybody, after setting up a nanoBTS with OpenBSC/SGSN/GGSN, I had some troubles trying to connect my smartphone to the GPRS cell. Investigating the BTS-to-SGSN traffic, I saw that the frames sent by the SGSN were all marked with the same N(U) value (at LLC layer), the value was 0. With some debug, I found that the there was a mismatch in the TLLI storage, used to keep the status of attached terminals. The mentioned code is contained in gprs_llc.c, involving LL Entity functions and gprs_llc_tx_ui(). /* look-up or create the LL Entity for this (TLLI, SAPI) tuple */ lle = lle_by_tlli_sapi(msgb_tlli(msg), sapi); if (!lle) { struct gprs_llc_llme *llme; LOGP(DLLC, LOGL_ERROR, "LLC TX: unknown TLLI 0x%08x, " "creating LLME on the fly\n", msgb_tlli(msg)); llme = llme_alloc(msgb_tlli(msg)); lle = &llme->lle[sapi]; } The TX function uses the previously received TLLI to lookup for the LLE. The lle_by_tlli_sapi() performs the search, but preliminary it applies a foreign2local TLLI conversion to ensure to have a local one. Since no valid entry for the searched TLLI is found, a new one is created. And the problem is here. The new entry has the foreign TLLI. Next time the lookup fails again, and a new entry is created. This way, the counter N(U) is always reset, and the mobile do not recognize the message sequence and no attach is possible. My question is about foreign and local TLLIs. I patched the lookup, avoiding the conversion, so that the LLE is found and everything works fine... but... What is the sense of the conversion? Should the TLLI be always stored as a local one? Can this problem be solved with another foreign2local while allocating new entries? Actually, my problem has been solved with that workaround. But I'm curious to know what is the right way. Hope somebody can answer :) Thanks. Cheers, LM

Pysim error: SW match failed
by Martin Nagy 16 Aug '25

16 Aug '25

Hi all, After buying a super Sim Kit (16 in 1) from China, I tried the reader (green PCB inside a blue transparent plastic case with a blue LED) and SIM (identified as a fakesupersim) with pysim tool. However i am getting the following error: /pySim-prog.py -n 26C3 -c 49 -x 262 -y 42 -z 1234 -j 1 -t auto Insert card now (or CTRL-C to cancel) Autodetected card type fakemagicsim Generated card parameters : > Name : 26C3 > SMSP : e1ffffffffffffffffffffffff058100945555ffffffffffff000000 > ICCID : 8949262427518313026 > MCC/MNC : 262/42 > IMSI : 262422461512085 > Ki : 7b74741a1ee14337ec23f9ab92a13648 > OPC : ccd867d60797d8d45354a51b3ef568ff Programming ...

Also I have tried forcing different models of SIM, but nothing is working. Obviously I can remove this check from the script file (__init__.py in /pySim/transport), however somebody had a reason to put such condition there. I would like to ask if it is safe to remove that line of code and the purpose of that line of code. Thanks a lot and best regards Martin

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.

[PATCH 0/4] core/conv: Fast Viterbi decoding
by Thomas Tsou 27 Apr '16

27 Apr '16

Hi all, This patch set adds to libosmocore an optimized Viterbi decodeer for architecture specific (Intel SSE) and non-specific cases. The implementation covers codes with constraint lengths of K=5 and K=7 and rates 1/4 to 3/4, which make up the majority of GSM use cases. Speedup from the current implementation is in the range of 5 to 20 depending on the processor and code type. API is unchanged. Tested on Haswell (i7-4770K) and Atom (D2550). Additional test codes from osmo-bts are included. Further tests for AWGN bit-error-rate and benchmarks can be found in the following repository. https://github.com/ttsou/osmo-conv-test Here are some examples. Bit error test for GPRS CS2 with SNR of 5 dB and 100000 bursts. $ ./conv_test -c 2 -e -r 5 -i 100000 ================================================= [+] Testing: GPRS CS2 [.] Specs: (N=2, K=5, non-recursive, flushed, not punctured) [.] Input length : ret = 290 exp = 290 -> OK [.] Output length : ret = 588 exp = 588 -> OK [.] BER tests: [..] Testing base: [..] Input BER.......................... 0.042443 [..] Output BER......................... 0.000006 [..] Output FER......................... 0.001350 (135) [..] Testing SIMD: [..] Input BER.......................... 0.042460 [..] Output BER......................... 0.000005 [..] Output FER......................... 0.001240 (124) Timed AFS benchmark with 8 threads and 100000 bursts per thread. $ ./conv_test -b -c 10 -j 8 -i 100000 ================================================= [+] Testing: GSM TCH/AFS 6.7 [.] Specs: (N=4, K=5, recursive, flushed, punctured) [.] Input length : ret = 140 exp = 140 -> OK [.] Output length : ret = 448 exp = 448 -> OK [.] Performance benchmark: [..] Encoding / Decoding 800000 bursts on 8 thread(s): [..] Testing base: [..] Elapsed time....................... 4.320001 secs [..] Rate............................... 25.925920 Mbps [..] Testing SIMD: [..] Elapsed time....................... 0.458272 secs [..] Rate............................... 244.396341 Mbps [..] Speedup............................ 9.426718 -TT

Final review of L1SAP ported to current maste
by Harald Welte 26 Mar '15

26 Mar '15

Dear all, the valuable L1SAP abstraction has been sitting out of master for too long time. It is a pity that this has taken so long. I've finally been able to put some time into osmo-bts again and reviewed the following patch series. It consists of mostly Andreas' work, interspersed with smaller patches/fixups that I introduced after the respective original patch from Andreas. I have started a sysmobts between all of the major steps in this patch series and did a short manual tests involving registration (LU) of two MS, mobile-to-mobile call and vty-to-mobile SMS. So far I couldn't see any problems. What has not been tested yet is the PCU interface as well as encryption support. I plan to do this later this week. I intend to merge the code after this current review cycle. Please take your time to have a look and provide feedback (if any), so we can get this over and work on new features again, rather than infrastrutural changes. I didn't yet rebase the osmo-bts-trx interface on top of the L1SAP, as I don't have a hardware setup for it, and I will leave it to the owners of such hardware to publish/push the respective code after L1SAP is merged.
