Hi everyone,
I few days ago, during some usual R&D process, I noticed the following
messages, appearing in the log output of OsmocomBB/mobile application:
"ACCH message type 0xXX unknown."
The network, a phone was connected to, was may own and based on more
or less recent versions of OsmoNiTB, OsmoBTS, and OsmoTRX. Despite I
used to see such messages before, I didn't pay too much attention.
But this time I've decided to figure out, what's wrong there...
The source of such messages is the gsm48_rr.c / gsm48_rr_rx_acch():
static int gsm48_rr_rx_acch(struct osmocom_ms *ms, struct msgb *msg)
{
// ...
struct gsm48_system_information_type_header *sih = msgb_l3(msg);
// ...
switch (sih->system_information) {
case GSM48_MT_RR_SYSINFO_5:
return gsm48_rr_rx_sysinfo5(ms, msg);
case GSM48_MT_RR_SYSINFO_5bis:
return gsm48_rr_rx_sysinfo5bis(ms, msg);
case GSM48_MT_RR_SYSINFO_5ter:
return gsm48_rr_rx_sysinfo5ter(ms, msg);
case GSM48_MT_RR_SYSINFO_6:
return gsm48_rr_rx_sysinfo6(ms, msg);
default:
LOGP(DRR, LOGL_NOTICE, "ACCH message type 0x%02x unknown.\n",
sih->system_information);
return -EINVAL;
}
}
To get I bit more details, I modified this function to print the
whole L3 payload, and got some interesting results. As it turned
out, the payloads were shifted one byte left - there was no
'l2_plen', which is assumed by:
/* Section 9.1.3x System information Type header */
struct gsm48_system_information_type_header {
uint8_t l2_plen;
uint8_t rr_protocol_discriminator :4,
skip_indicator:4;
uint8_t system_information;
} __attribute__ ((packed));
So, my first idea was that this is a bug of OsmocomBB, that
would be fairly easy to fix, so after a quick look at the
GSM 04.08 specification I wrote (and merged :/) this:
https://gerrit.osmocom.org/#/c/5204/
And everything was great, until I connected a 'patched' mobile to
a commercial mobile network... And all SI messages during a
dedicated connection were false-identified as SI5ter. This seemed
strange to me, so I decided to compare a SI message from commercial
network with a message captured in my own one:
https://habrastorage.org/webt/t8/zs/vv/t8zsvvjjglzfisnjqlnnsy4kgas.png
And this confused me even more, then I've expected. Why there is 0x49?
Wireshark false-identified this message as something related to SMS...
What if this is exactly the 'l2_plen' assumed in OsmocomBB before?
I looked at the specifications again, and found out that initially I
refered an outdated 5.3.0 version, which was the first link in Google:
http://www.etsi.org/deliver/etsi_gts/04/0408/05.03.00_60/gsmts_0408v050300p…
while the latest one is 7.21.0:
http://www.etsi.org/deliver/etsi_ts/100900_100999/100940/07.21.00_60/ts_100…
So, I compared the 9.1.37-40 sections of both versions, and bingo!
In the higher version ACCH System Information messages do have the
'L2 Pseudo Length' (10.5.2.19) field.
Finally, what I've learned:
- OsmocomBB / mobile follows the new version here (with l2_plen);
- OsmoNiTB generates the ACCH SI messages without the l2_plen;
- Recent Wireshark versions fail to decode the ACCH SI messages
with l2_plen, while older ones are able to do that;
- I should not merge the changes so quick.
My questions are:
- Which way of composing the SI messages is correct?
- If both are correct, how to parse them correctly?
- Should we change OsmoNiTB / OsmoBSC to follow the latest specs?
And of course, I have to revert the change I've merged.
With best regards,
Vadim Yanitskiy.
Dear Osmocom community,
it's already end of January and OsmoDevCon 2018 in April is getting closer
and closer.
As indicated before, I would like to group the topics by days and put
together at least a rough framework shcedule, so that people
with specific interests don't have to be present for four full days to make
sure they don't miss anything.
So I'd like to re-invite all attendees to consider adding a topic/porposal
to the wiki page at https://osmocom.org/projects/osmo-dev-con/wiki/OsmoDevCon2018#section-9
so that we can group different topic areas and put together a rough schedule
outline.
A proposal doesn't mean you have to give a talk. It could be anything, including
* a talk that you would want to listen to, and you're looking for somebody to give it
* a discussion about a certain topic
* a workshop / hands on session
* lightning talks?
Like any community event, OsmoDevCon lives by its contributors. I can't wait to
hear about all the things you've been up to. Thanks!
Regards,
Harald

Hi All,
Does anyone tried enabling the A5/1 Encryption using osmo-bsc and osmo-msc?
We are using an UPBOARD with the following elements; osmo-bsc, osmo-bts-trx and osmo-trx in it; and a NUC with osmo-hlr, osmo-msc, osmo-mgcp, and osmo-stp.
Both servers are using Ubuntu 16.04 OS.
We enabled the a5/1 encryption in both osmo-bsc and osmo-msc. Then provisioned the programmable SIM to osmo-hlr with aud2g comp128v1 auth.
OsmoHLR# subscriber imsi 515941234567890 show
ID: 9
IMSI: 515941234567890
MSISDN: 09271234567
2G auth: COMP128v1
KI=00112233445566778899aabbccddeeff
We are not really sure what causes the LOCUP Reject.
Can anyone help us with this issue?
Attached are the configuration used during the testing and a trace taken during the testing.
Best Regard,

Hi All,
We have encountered an issue in latching/phone camping using UMTRX and OSMOCOM elements.
During the registration process, encryption command fails since the OsmoBSC/BTS does not provide the IMEI in the Identity Request.
Note that the Mobile core only permits a5/1 encryption.
This issue is not encountered using ETTUS B210 with same version of OSMOCOM elements and same configuration files.
May we know if this is a known issue?
The UHD version used is the UHD_003.010.002.HEAD-3-g122bfae1 and the UMTRX Driver used is1.0.3-128-93d4343. We used the URL below in installing the driver and module of UMTRX:

This is picking up on a discussion that fixeria and I have had in
https://gerrit.osmocom.org/#/c/6846 so far.
The goal is to be able to fully test the timing advance and power control loops
in unmodified osmo-bts-trx (from the BTS_Tests.ttcn test suite).
For this, we need:
* fake_trx must be able to insert additional false "delay"
* fake_trx must be able to insert additional false "path loss"
Let's look at TOA/timing first:
1) Implementation of TA in fake_trx
* MS sets timing advance via L1CTL
* trxcon translates this into SETTA command to fake_trx
* fake_trx stores this curernt TA value (in bit periods)
* fake_trx initializes the per-burst TOA (in 1/256th symbol periods) to the
negative of those values when converting from Tx to Rx burst format,
before feeding to osmo-bts-trx
2) implementation of "fake delay" in fake_trx
* test case at any time requests fake_trx to apply a "fake delay" (in 1/256th symbol periods)
* fake_trx stores this signed 16bit value
* fake_trx applies this fake_delay value when converting uplink Tx bursts to Rx bursts,
after having applied the timing advance.
So a typical exchange between MS and BTS looks like this:
* testcase instructs fake_trx to apply fake_delay of 512 (2 bit periods)
* MS sends RACH burst with no timing advance at all
* fake_trx applies TA=0 and adds fake_delay value (512), resulting in
reported timing value of 512 in the bursts passed to osmo-bts-trx
* osmo-bts-trx detects '512' and forwards this as timing offset to the BSC
* BSC will allocate a channel, and instruct MS to use TA=2 on it
* MS sends SETTA=2 to fake_trx
* any bursts from MS in fake_trx are processed as follows:
** set toa=-256*2=-512 (TA value of 2)
** add fake_delay: toa=-512 (result of above) + 512 (fake delay) = 0
* osmo-bts-trx receives bursts with toa=0, i.e. timing advance loop is balanced
When the MS is moving further away, we can simulate this by:
* testcase sends fake_delay=1024 to fake_trx
* uplink bursts now are processed in fake_trx as:
** set toa=-256*2=-512 (TA value of 2)
** add fake_delay: toa=-512 (result of above) + 1024 (fake delay) = +512
* osmo-bts-trx receives bursts with toa=512, reports this to timing advance loop code
* TA loop code will result in SACCH downlink L1 header to contain TA=4 (not just 2
like before)
* MS will send "SETTA 4" to fake_trx
* uplink bursts now are processed in fake_trx as:
** set toa=-256*4=-1024 (TA value of 4)
** add fake_delay: toa=-1024 (result of above) + 1024 (fake delay) = 0
* loop is balanced again
For RSSI processing it's slightly more complicated:
* fake_trx would need to know the nominal transmit power of both MS and BTS.
This could be from config file, command line argument or some control commands.
For this example, let's assume MS nominal power is +30dBm and BTS +23 dBm
* fake_trx will have some "SET PATH LOSS" command by which the test case can tell
it about the path loss it shall apply (in uplink and/or downlink direction)
* fake_trx receives "SET PATH LOSS 110" for 110dB path loss
* uplink burst processing then looks like this
** fake_trx knows MS nominal power is +30 dBm
** fake_trx subtracts the attenuation value from the Tx Burst Data header (e.g. 10 dB)
** fake_trx computes +30 (nominal power) -10 (burst attenuation) - 110 (path loss) = -90 dBm
** fake_trx reports -87dBm RSSI in the uplink burst to osmo-bts-trx
* downlink burst processing then looks like this
** fake_trx knows of BTS transmit power level is 23dBm
** fake_trx reads attenuation from tx burst header (e.g. 0dB)
** fake_trx computes +23 (nominal power) -0 (burst attenuation) - 110 (path loss) = -87 dBm
** fake_trx reports Rx bursts with -87dBm RSSI to trxcon
I hope this makes sense. Comments welcome.

Hi,
the lua binding code was added to be able to automate OpenBSC tests. In theory we should be able to do this for SMS and UpdateLocation (call handling with MNCC exposing is left as a todo) but in practice we miss a piece of software to coordinate this and run the test. We miss it because it is an interesting problem but also I lost time on switching countries, learning new tricks at a project...
The basic testing structure looks easy as well. We want to define the number of concurrent subscribers (0, 10, 100, 1000, n) and to make it simple a single test (UL, send SMS, t) and execute the same test for each subscriber and call it a success if y% of tests succeed within time T. The way to measure this is easy as well. The lua script would print some data (e.g. the name of the ms) when it starts and completes.
For some degrees of freedom I don't have a good idea.. and feedback is welcome.
I am not sure if I should spawn, configure, add subscribers, a flavor of Osmocom cellular? I look into having some set of templates for the config, the stack to launch and in concept it looks awfully similar to something the GSM tester is doing. Shall we leave virtbts/cellular to the Osmocom tester and just focus on coordinating mobile? My feeling is to leave this to the Osmo GSM tester.
If we have n subscribers I would launch m copies of "mobile" (but run multiple MS in a single binary). So with 4 MS per mobile process and 10k subs we would end with 2.5k processes + many log messages coming from each. Would that scale with python? Should we look into doing this one in Go? Or can some of GSM tester be used (the template part)? I would probably design this concurrently with Go(besides being the first).
any ideas/comments?

Hi Rafael,
Please pay your attention at the following warnings:
> hlr.c:79 250026920931392: IMSI known, but has no auth data;
> Returning slightly inaccurate cause 'IMSI Unknown' via GSUP
and

Are you sure you do have all required auth information in HLR?
> IMSI 250 02 6920931392
BTW: is it a random IMSI? Otherwise, this IMSI belongs to a
Russian carrier - Megafon. If I am correct, and this SIM is
a commercial SIM, you won't be able to get the auth data for them.
With best regards,
Vadim Yanitskiy.
Hi Ivan,
as I'm working towards load-based handover and incorporating your patches, I
found that most of it is concerned with libmsc. In contrast, I am currently
working on osmo-bsc, in libbsc, and would like to ask your advice.
Some parts of the patch aren't easy to understand for me, and I'd like to make
sure that I am not dismissing parts of it as non-applicable to libbsc even
though they might be important.
Since your patches were written, the code has changed. Now that we have the
separate osmo-bsc, we will need two layers of handover: intra-BSC and
inter-BSC.
Intra-BSC is a handover between two cells that are serviced by the same BSC,
and the higher layers (MSC) should not even notice that anything has happened
-- MSC has asked the BSC to service a call by BSSAP Assignment, and the BSC is
free to choose and change around the lchans it assigns to that. That is the
layer I'm currently dug into.
Inter-BSC is a handover between cells that are serviced by two different BSCs.
That seems to be the land your patch is improving. The MSC is involved and so
is MNCC.
(Both MSC and BSC levels will need their own DTAP cache, and they are by
definition completely independent -- MSC caches the DTAP coming from MNCC
during Inter-BSC handover, BSC caches DTAP from MSC during Intra-BSC handover.)
Since your patch is applied onto openbsc.git, where all of BSC and MSC are
still one osmo-nitb, I want to make sure that I sort your patch right. Do some
of its semantics apply to osmo-bsc master, even if the code changed?
The smaller patches are either already applied to osmo-bsc master, or I've
submitted them on gerrit just now:
handover_decision: Add more log messages to get more information about HO causes in logs
handover_decision: Fix condition for power budget handover attempt
handover_logic: set correct link to bts for subscriber_connection in case of moving this connection to another bts
Remaining are a small and *the* complex one:
transaction: Add new function trans_find_by_lchan
handover: Implement proper handover procedure handling at any stage of the call
Here is the last one with inline questions, I hope they are not too stupid; or
too long, it ended up being a lot to read. Thanks in advance for taking a look:

(Your ho_queue seems to live in libbsc, while most of the patch seems to be
concerned with libmsc. But nevermind, from jolly's patches I already have a
similar queue in osmo-bsc, and we'll probably use yours for libmsc.)

In current osmo-bsc master, we already set conn->ho_lchan before sending out
the chan activation request. I'd actually assume setting the flag only now,
after the activ ack, is a bit too late?

Please explain ... what case / behavior is this fixing?
Do we ever see CMODE_SIGN handovers?
Would we also need to check for GSM48_CMODE_DATA_*?

So if an RTP connect to MNCC is pending, we copy the old lchan's RTP port and
IP? Which is this, the MNCC / call router side IP and port?
Why not set this at the initiation of the HO already?

I'm puzzled by this removal. No actions during ho_fail? Is this really

(here DTAP handled in libmsc ends up in the ho_queue that otherwise seems to
live in libbsc ... as I said above this queue will probably move to libmsc
altogether to become part of osmo-msc master.)

I notice that in the current head, the entire switch_for_handover() has been
dropped; it was doing libbsc lchan stuff from within libmsc. Hence we must have
added similar logic in osmo-bsc.git and completely dropped this.
I think the commit re-implementing handover in osmo-bsc is
http://git.osmocom.org/osmo-bsc/commit/?id=39c609b7c924524172ad311bdf89f92b…
It appears that lchan->abis_ip.connect_ip and connect_port aren't used at all
in osmo-bsc master, but are still present in the struct. I'll ask others about
that.
In any case, the code base has changed substantially, and this patch hunk no
longer applies at all.
Am I interpreting this hunk correctly: it moves the ipacc_mdcx to tell the new
lchan about its RTP peer to a later stage?
In current osmo-bsc master, it seems that this ipacc_mdcx happens as soon as
the ipacc_crcx is complete, seen in osmo-bsc/src/osmo-bsc/osmo_bsc_audio.c in
handle_abisip_signal(), always using the IP:port the MSC sent us.

What are the semantics here? It seems odd to move from a check of a
conn-specific state (conn->mncc_rtp_bridge) to a check of a global value
(net->mncc_state).
In any case, this is MNCC related and should not impact Intra-BSC handover,
right?

If we have a conn and using external MNCC, don't continue at all? I'm not
following, would be nice if the comment explained why we need to drop out here.

This is to tell the call router that the payload type has changed, right? I've
asked in the redmine about whether/how we'd convey an RTP payload change to the
MNCC in case of an Intra-BSC handover...

Am I reading right: if we're doing handover, the MSC shouldn't sent another
BSSAP Assignment to the BSC; instead, the BSC level figures out another lchan
and done ... ?

We're not telling the BTS about the call router's IP:port anymore?

if we're in handover, we don't need to tell MNCC that RTP got connected,
because that already happened when the call got established initially?
So mncc_rtp_connect_pending has a second meaning during handover?

Wait, now we *do* send a BSSAP Assignment after all?
(excuse if I'm being noob, I'm still finding my way through handover in general)
shouldn't we rather dequeue the cached DTAP after this instead of before?
