Dear osmocom developpers,
This is just to let you know that the Python library pycrate has a new home
: https://github.com/pycrate-org/pycrate. The packages on Pypi are now
feeded from there. This library can be used in many cases dealing with
mobile signalling.
I wanted to let you know, as even if I am not aware of any osmocom projects
depending on it, some of you may use the library from time to time, or
could have local applications depending on it.
Best Regards
Benoit

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.
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

If you run into this you can fix it by uninstalling cmd2 and reinstalling
cmd2 with "pip3 install cmd2==1.5".
Best,
Bryan

A TS can be GSM_PCHAN_TCH_F_PDCH; those are the only ones for which we
send a PDCH ACT message.
We send a PDCH ACT message
- during init (CHANNEL OML's state changed to enabled -> send PDCH ACT),
- and upon channel release ack when pchan == GSM_PCHAN_TCH_F_PDCH.
So the question is, when we receive a channel release ack, could that be
the PDCH release and we switch PDCH right back on by accident? No, because
we only receive a chan rel ack when the *TCH/F* is being released.
That is because the PDCH release is initiated "internally" from the PDCH
DEACT, and thus this condition in common/rsl.c rsl_tx_rf_rel_ack() catches
on, which existed before dyn PDCH:
if (lchan->rel_act_kind != LCHAN_REL_ACT_RSL) {
LOGP(DRSL, LOGL_NOTICE, "%s not sending REL ACK\n",
gsm_lchan_name(lchan));
return 0;
}
In rsl_rx_rf_chan_rel() the rel_act_kind is set to LCHAN_REL_ACT_RSL, but
not in the rsl_rx_dyn_pdch().
This is analogous to the ip.access way -- the ip.access nanobts replies to
a PDCH DEACT with a PDCH DEACT ACK and doesn't send a separate channel
release ack.
Maybe we could set rel_act_kind to some new LCHAN_REL_ACT_IPAC_DYN_PDCH
for clarity? (But we shouldn't actually send a release ack, to stay
compatible.)
Even though it works as-is, we should indeed add another flag check:
- We do check the flags that no ACT/DEACT is already pending;
- And we do send a PDCH DEACT only if ts->flags & TS_F_PDCH_ACTIVE;
- But we would send a PDCH ACT despite ts->flags & TS_F_PDCH_ACTIVE.
This should never happen, but it would make sense to ensure that.

Hello,
How can I utilize the iCE40 E1 USB adapter to transition from E1 to IP in a
GSM network, connecting a physical Siemens BSC (which has a BTS
connected) to OsmoMSC?
Only the BTS and BSC are physical. I already have osmo-e1d installed.
Should I use osmo-e1d or dahdi version for this transition?
What would be the best approach to begin the process?
Regards,
Alina
Hi
Do you know if the packet osmo-smlc should work with osmo-bsc, osmo-stp last versions?
I just tested, saw errors and tried to debug but perhaps I made mistakes (link, as, asp are up between BSC and SMLC via osmo-stp)
osmo-smlc 0.2.4
DLSCCP DEBUG <0011> sccp_user.c:176 Delivering N-PCSTATE.indication to SCCP User 'SCCP Management'
DLSCCP DEBUG <0011> sccp_scmg.c:298 Ignoring SCCP user primitive N-PCSTATE.indication

Hi all,
After the OsmoDevCon 2024, I have set up a repository containing the GSMTAPv3
WIP version: https://gitea.osmocom.org/peremen/gsmtapv3
There is a Redmine ticket for GSMTAPv3: https://osmocom.org/issues/6445
Currently only the global header structure and types/subtypes are defined, and
detailed explanation of what each data type stands for is still WIP. Also,
GSMTAPv3 will use T16L16V dynamic metadata instead of fixed metadata structure,
and the metadata definition is still in early stage.
Having a structure definition is the very begging, which will be followed by
additional works to actually use the new GSMTAPv3 format (APIs, Wireshark
dissector, ...). Any form of help will be much appreciated.
Best,
Shinjo
Hello everybody,
I was trying to setup an OSMO-MSC with an Open5Gs-Corenetwork, so I can send SMS to different UEs. Unfortunately the OSMO-MSC does not connect to the MME of the Open5Gs-Core and I do not find any installation guide for this specific setup.
For your information: The Open5Gs-Core runs on a Laptop and I build the Software from source (4G and 5G components). The MSC should run on the same Laptop.
Therefore I would like to ask you, if you can tell me, which other components besides of the OSMO-MSC I possibly have to install and how I should configure this components and the components of the core.
Many thanks in advance!
Best regards

So, we've been discussing IRL about the osmo-hnbgw implementation of
interacting with nftables from a separate thread.
The idea now is that a separate thread gets the results from nftables, caches
them and enqueues them, so that the main thread can update the hnbgw counters
in-sync. A second separate thread does nft add/del rule maintenance.
There is another complication, and I want to make sure we agree on the solution:
Problem: to delete a rule, I need to retrieve its 'handle' first.
With the amount of threading we want, this becomes a bit complex.
So. We 'add rule' and 'delete rule', as hNodeB attach and detach.
But, to be able to 'delete rule', we need to retrieve an id that nftables
assigned to this rule when it was added, the 'handle':
add rule inet osmo-hnbgw gtpu-ul ip saddr 1.2.3.4 counter comment "ul:1-2-3-4";
...
list table inet osmo-hnbgw
-->
table inet osmo-hnbgw {
chain gtpu-ul {
ip saddr 1.2.3.4 counter packets 5 bytes 100 comment "ul:1-2-3-4" # handle 23;
} ^^^^^^^^^
}
...
delete rule inet osmo-hnbgw gtpu-ul handle 23;
^^^^^^^^^
AFAICT I cannot set a handle right from the start. I can also not delete a rule
by just stating it again as it is, nor by using the 'comment' as a handle. nft
wants a 'handle', period. Does anyone know better?
Every time we read counters, osmo-hnbgw also retrieves the handles for each
rule, and correlates via the 'comment'. Similarly to counters, we can only get
all handles at once, via a complete table dump (possibly inefficient).
It works out fine in most practical cases. But the complex corner case is when
an hNodeB detaches quickly, before the counters had a chance to run and update
the hNodeB's state, including the handle.
In the current agreement on our implementation with two threads for nft, with
queues back to the main thread, it would go something like this, to avoid
races:
main() nft_maintenance_thread() nft_read_counters_thread()
| | |
|---add hNodeB-------->| |
|<--ok-----------------| |
X | |
|---del hNodeB-------->| |
| [rule handle unknown!] |
..|<--EAGAIN-------------| |
. | | |
. |---do counters--------------------------------->|
. | | [work]
. | | [work]
. | | [work]
. |<--update-counters-and-handles------------------|
. | | |
..|---del hNodeB-------->| |
| [delete rule] |
|<--done---------------| |
Simplifying a bit...
main() nft_maintenance_thread() nft_read_counters_thread()
| | |
|---add hNodeB-------->| |
|<--ok-----------------| |
X | |
[want: del hNodeB] | |
[rule handle unknown!] | |
[set some "del" flag] | |
. | | |
. |---do counters--------------------------------->|
. | | [work]
. | | [work]
. | | [work]
. |<--update-counters-and-handles------------------|
. | | |
[del flag!] | |
|---del hNodeB-------->| |
| [delete rule] |
|<--done---------------| |
I'm not liking very much the amount of complexity spawning here, but
this last approach is ok I guess, do you agree?
i.e. when the handle is not set yet, set a flag on the hNodeB,
and trigger the 'delete' the next time the counter thread reports back a handle
for the hNodeB.
