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.

Moving from trac to a single redmine
by Holger Freyther 25 Sep '16

25 Sep '16

Hi guys, I think some of us would like to move to redmine and start using public tickets more frequently. So in case we move there are some topics to be discussed and I would like to start with a couple of them right now. Tickets: Redmine has a global linear sequence of ticket numbers. If we move from many tracs to a single redmine we can either: * not import tickets * only import from one project * deal with changing ticket numbers In terms of installations the GMR trac is broken in regard to tickets, there are some for SDR that are probably not being fixed anytime soon, baseband might be relevant and OpenBSC is unlikely to be relevant. I don't think we have ever used ticket reference in OpenBSC commit messages so in terms of OpenBSC having changing ticket numbers would not be a big deal. E.g. we could add a custom field with the old trac number? Wiki: We have external references that should be redirected to the new place. Is there any way besides maintaining a list in the apache2/nginx configuration and making redirects as we find broken references? Can we proactively manage this? Is anybody willing to come up with a script and nginx configuration for doing this? kind regards holger

Half sided calls
by Sipos Csaba 30 Apr '16

30 Apr '16

Dear List, I am in the process of creating the Wiki page for Ettus B200/B210 with OpenBSC, GPRS and Asterisk. I am quite close, both data and calls are working, but the voice calls are half sided. The downlink direction works, but the uplink does not. I tried without Asterisk and LCR (between two phones) and still the calls are half sided. In the mean time I got these messages in the Osmo-BTS log: <0006> scheduler.c:276 PH-DATA.req: chan_nr=0x0a link_id=0x00 fn=1284768 ts=2 tr x=0 <0006> scheduler.c:1036 TCH/F has not been served !!

[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

Redmine theme
by Вадим Яницкий 09 Mar '16

09 Mar '16

Dear all, I suggest to change a stock Redmine theme to something more beautiful, for example gitmike: https://github.com/makotokw/redmine-theme-gitmike which used by srlabs.de and looks like pretty. Furthermore, the Osmocom logo will look better on light background. Opinions? С наилучшими пожеланиями, Яницкий Вадим.

command for location update
by robert 08 Mar '16

Hi, Is it possible to have the virtual BTS start a location update at a specific time. In other words, can I add a command that asks all phones to request a location update at any desired time ? Best regards, Robert,
