Hi all,
Just wanted to share an issue and a quick workaround I found for it in case
anyone else has the same problem. I believe a cmd2 update is causing
pySim-shell to fail. After installing it on a fresh install of Ubuntu
Server 20.04 and getting the following error when I run "python3
pySim-shell -p0":
>Using PC/SC reader interface
>Autodetected card type: sysmoUSIM-SJS1
>AIDs on card:
> USIM: a0000000871002ffffffff8907090000
>Traceback (most recent call last):
> File "pySim-shell.py", line 512, in <module>
> app = PysimApp(card, rs, opts.script)
> File "pySim-shell.py", line 59, in __init__
> super().__init__(persistent_history_file='~/.pysim_shell_history',
allow_cli_args=False, use_ipython=True, auto_load_commands=False,
command_sets=basic_commands, >startup_script=script)
>TypeError: __init__() got an unexpected keyword argument 'use_ipython'
If you run into this you can fix it by uninstalling cmd2 and reinstalling
cmd2 with "pip3 install cmd2==1.5".
Best,
Bryan
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
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. Regards

Hi
We set up a full Osmocom platform, with an Ettus USRP for SDR. All works
well. Congratulations to Osmocom developers !
But now we want to use "real" nodes concerning MSC, MGW, HLR, SGSN & GGSN.
Do you think it is possible ?
Concerning the BSC-MSC association, do we need to use an SG (osmo-stp) ? or
could we establish a Point To Point BSC-MSC ? SUA ?
Concerning MGW, is there a way to use our MGW ? At this time, with Osmocom
corposants, we can see RTP traffic between BTS-TRX and MGW, and some MGCP
traffic between (BSC - local MGW) and MGW, and some MGCP traffic between
osmo-MGW and osmo-MSC. Is there a way to have a "more standard"
architecture: no traffic between BTS and MGW, and MGW controlled by MSC ? Do
we have to more study TRAU, AoIP ?
Concerning the Gb, do you think that it 'll work if we configure the Gb on a
real SGSN connected to the osmo-pcu, hosted on the osmo-bts-trx?
Many thanks in advance,
Best regards

It is my pleasure to inform that I have a WIP patch for OsmoMSC that allows,
for the first time, full MO<->MT codecs negotiation to flexibly achieve TFO
(Transcoding-Free Operation).
It would be great if OsmoMSC users could give the patch a spin (in a setup that
is allowed to fail because of the patch) and see if 2G calls now adjust the MO
call leg to MT's codecs limitations for you. Looking forward to feedback!
This task was idling on my list because I assumed it would be a big effort, but
now I realized that it is actually simple, not even a new FSM state required.
So I could no longer resist to finally complete this long long quest.
The result is this WIP patch:
https://gerrit.osmocom.org/c/osmo-msc/+/35051
Related patch series, uncluding ttcn3 test:
https://gerrit.osmocom.org/q/topic:reass
This patch requires full SDP on MNCC, so if using osmo-sip-connector, it should
be current master -- the relevant patch was merged but is not released yet:
https://gerrit.osmocom.org/c/osmo-sip-connector/+/16222
Before this patch, MO was eternally stuck on the initially assigned codec. Now
we adjust MO's codec if MT needs it. (MT already intelligently chooses codecs
before this patch.)
For example, if MO is AMR capable and MT is not,
- the MO side will start out with assigning an AMR codec (not matching).
- Once MT responds (MNCC_ALERT_REQ), the MO side notices that MT does not
support the assigned codec. It sends another Assignment Command to the BSC,
offering only the codecs that MT supports.
- If MO has at least one matching codec (say GSM-FR), the result is a TFO call
using a matching codec.
We still need to check:
- does OsmoBSC play along nicely with the re-assignment (it should AFAICT).
- effects on MGCP: there may now be more codecs than just the assigned one in
the MGCP towards the MGW. See if that checks out.
- effects on 3G: make sure the feature doesn't confuse IuUP handling.
The patch passes all MSC_Tests.ttcn for me (but that doesn't necessarily imply
proper codecs choices, the tests are not very strict there it seems).
