libosmocore/BSC/MSC: MO voice calls rejected from Siemens S11E (patch included)
by Lennart Müller 31 Jan '24

31 Jan '24

Hi, I had a problem placing MO GSM calls from a Siemens S11E: The calls were dropped immediately; Osmo-MSC reports "Cannot compose Channel Type from bearer capabilities" After investigating the SETUP request from the S11E, the phone does not use octet 3a (no extension bit set in IE 3). Wireshark decodes the radio channel requirement as "Full rate support only MS/fullrate speech version 1 supported", so I added a condition to the gsm48_ie.c function of libosmocore to include at least GSM FR in the list of available speech_ver in case octet 3 has no extension. Attached to this message are the Abis-IP PCAP traces of MO calls, and the patch for gsm48_ie.c. Regards, Lennart

Problem while running NIB on Open Cellular Base sation
by Brackley Casinga 31 Jan '24

31 Jan '24

Hi, My name is Brackley Cassinga Form DRC, we run a community network called pamoja net where we offer gsm services using osmocom open source software and OC Base station. Recently I have tried to install another base station as the same installed but I could not find any resource guiding through all the steps to take to run NIB on a base station. I'm currently running Ubuntu and I will appreciate if you could guide me on the installation of BSC,hlr,MSC , in order to run a basic gsm network. Thank you.

git infrastructure
by Neels Hofmeyr 26 Sep '22

I guess it's a bit late, but do we really need categories on gitea? The simple world I would have expected: git clone https://gitea.osmocom.org/libosmo-pfcp git clone https://gitea.osmocom.org/osmo-upf The world we live in: git clone https://gitea.osmocom.org/celullar_infarsturcure/libosmo-pfcp git clone https://gitea.osmocom.org/osmocom/osmo-upf git clone https://gerrit.osmocom.org/libosmo-dsp and works: git clone git://git.osmocom.org/osmo-upf fails: git clone https://git.osmocom.org/osmo-upf works: git clone https://git.osmocom.org/libosmo-pfcp While I'm at it: do we have a designated primary git place for Osmocom? De facto the answer seems to be: gerrit, except when it's not on gerrit. Because of the above issues, currently there is a wave of patches rolling out which edit build scripts and READMEs to change git URLs -- it feels wrong that this is necessary. It seems the topic needs some clarification, and maybe it is still possible to simplify the git structures? - remove the layer of categories from gitea? - move gitea/cellular-infrastraucute/* to gitea/osmocom/* ? - point git.osmocom.org at gitea.osmocom.org/osmocom/ ? (cgit.osmocom.org still works) - keep cgit as the primary git place, gitea as users' playgrounds? (not sure if possible or good ideas) ~N

two distinct SCCP sources?
by Neels Hofmeyr 29 Aug '22

29 Aug '22

I'm confused by what is happening in the pcap linked below: According to wireshark, the SCCP message seems to come from *both* PC=4 and PC=185. A column configured as sccp.calling.pc shows Point-Code 4. A column configured as "Source Address" shows Point-Code 185. Is it even possible that the in-band Calling Address differs from whatever wireshark detects as the SCCP Source Addres? Can anyone explain where the 185 is coming from? apparently not from sccp.calling.pc. The pcap and a screenshot showing the two point-codes and the column config are here: http://people.osmocom.org/neels/Eew7we0I/ Context: The original RESET message (not part of the pcap) was sent to called.pc=4, but I have SCCP routing set up to forward PC=4 to the MSC that sees itself as PC=185. I am expecting to see a RESET-ACK sent from PC=185. IIUC The 4 should have evaporated when the MSC parsed the RESET message. But apparently when answering, it takes the "called.pc" and puts it in the response as "calling.pc" (4 is nowhere in the MSC's confguration, it MUST have taken the "4" from the received SCCP message). So what I am seeing in wireshark is eerily correct: it is the MSC that has "185" in its cfg as local address sending the ACK, and it is responding to a request that was originally sent to "4", and which osmo-stp routed to "185". The response shows calling.pc=4. But how can wireshark know that it was really "185" sending, when no such information is in the SCCP layer of that message? What am I missing? if anyone knows, thanks in advance... ~N

New repository - libosmo-gprs.git
by Vadim Yanitskiy 18 Aug '22

18 Aug '22

Hi all, as some of you may know, I am working on the MS side implementation of GPRS protocol stack. The end goal is to have something similar to srsUE (part of srsRAN, former srsLTE), but for GPRS. In order to reduce code duplication it was decided to move some stuff from both osmo-pcu.git and osmo-sgsn.git into shared libraries, so that we could re-use existing code in the upcoming MS side implementation. == What is already done * Redmine: https://osmocom.org/projects/libosmo-gprs * Gerrit: https://gerrit.osmocom.org/q/libosmo-gprs * Gitea: https://gitea.osmocom.org/osmocom/libosmo-gprs * osmo-ci.git: https://gerrit.osmocom.org/c/osmo-ci/+/29019 == What is missing * GitHub: https://github.com/osmocom/libosmo-gprs * cgit: https://cgit.osmocom.org/libosmo-gprs/ ** Coverity pulls from this mirror ** Jenkins build verification uses this mirror I will need some help with both GitHub and cgit, as I don't have admin permissions. Please also let me know if I missed something.

shadysim STK installation issue
by Karsten Ohme 11 Aug '22

11 Aug '22

I tried to use shadysim (https://gitea.osmocom.org/sim-card/sim-tools) to install a STK / CAT applet on the sysmoISIM. It was not working for me, also it does not support UICC parameters and it seems that still Python 2.7 is needed. As an alternative I have added support for gpshell (https://kaoh.github.io/globalplatform/) to use SCP02 and pass the SIM/UICC parameters. See the new parameters "uiccSystemSpecParam" and "simSpecParam" for the "install" command https://github.com/kaoh/globalplatform/blob/master/gpshell/src/gpshell.1.md and inspect the https://github.com/kaoh/globalplatform/blob/master/gpshell/helloInstallSTK.… example file. If "brew" ins installed then "brew install kaoh/globalplatform/globalplatform" is sufficient for the installation. I also faced the issue that the sysmoISIM cards are only accepting SIM parameters and no UICC parameters, which is strange or even a bug since these cards are newer and are supporting the newer UICC ETSI specifications.
