OsmoNITB timeslots configuration and UmTRX
by Родион Гадыршин 27 Jan '26

27 Jan '26

Hello, list. I have umtrx v2.1 and I have already built GSM and GPRS components. Now I want to know which way of configuring timeslots in osmobsc.cfn is the best. I want GPRS, calls and SMS work. My current configuration is: timeslot 0 phys_chan_config CCCH+SDCCH4 hopping enabled 0 timeslot 1 phys_chan_config SDCCH8 hopping enabled 0 timeslot 2 phys_chan_config TCH/F hopping enabled 0 timeslot 3 phys_chan_config TCH/F hopping enabled 0 timeslot 4 phys_chan_config PDCH hopping enabled 0 timeslot 5 phys_chan_config PDCH hopping enabled 0 timeslot 6 phys_chan_config PDCH hopping enabled 0 timeslot 7 phys_chan_config PDCH hopping enabled 0 Is there a better way to configure? Maybe better use TCH/F_TCH/H_PDCH, but I have heard, that TCH/F is currently not working in dynamic configurations - only TCH/H does. And there is no only TCH/H_PDCH mode. So, could you please give me an advice?

On the use of 'decmatch' in TTCN-3
by Harald Welte 27 Jan '26

27 Jan '26

Hi, I know that TTCN-3 is still new to a lot of you, but we are writing tons of integration testing against the various osmocom programs in it. It is quite amazing technology, and I would like to ask you to bear with me reading this mail :) Pau was stating the question earlier today on not finding an example on how to use decmatch. Indeed, it took me some months to find that gem in the TTCN-3 world. It solves the problem that you often have during test of layered protocol stacks: you have separate encoders/decoders for each protocol layer, and now you want to match on some of the *inner* payload. So normally, you have some kind of header definition + a binary (octetstring) payload. This happens in RSL with the L3_INFO IE, and just the same on BSSAP/DTAP where again the L3 message (for example call control) is encapsulated inside one information element. Now you have multiple options of addressing the problem: a) hand-written calls to the decoder function b) write na 'emulation' for the entire protocol layer c) use decmatch. a) would look like this (pseudo-code): var octetstring l3oct; var RSL_Message rsl RSL.receive(tr_RSL_DATA_REQ(g_chan_nr, ?, ?)) -> value rsl { var PDU_ML3_MS_NW l3 := dec_PDU_ML3_MS_NW(rsl.payload); if (match(l3, some_template)) { ... do something } ... } Which uses the built-in pattern-matching on the RSL port to match any message that matches the tr_RSL_DATA_REQ template, and stores the resulting RSL message in a variable. It then uses an explicit call to the decoder function of the L3 message, and then uses regular conditional expressions for further matching on that inner L3 payload. This is more or less how you would write in C, python or any other quite imperative programming languages. It's very verbose, time consuming and un-abstract/elegant. TTCN-3 has many declarative aspects to it. Code like the above is a waste of your time :) b) would mean that you implement some test component that handles the RSL messages on its bottom side test port, and the L3 messages on its top side test port. That is a possible way, and if you need a lot of state/logic of RSL, it maeks sense. But what if you really simply want to have a match? Then it would be a lot of effort and a large detour. c) decmatch to the rescue! You can write RSL.receive(tr_RSL_DATA_REQ(g_chan_nr, ?, decmatch tr_RRM_RR_STATUS)) which means: * do a receive on the RSL test port, and match on an incoming RSL message that matches the tr_RSL_DATA_REQ template, with channel number specified, link_id any (?), *and* if the octetstring payload, if decoded, matches the template tr_RRM_RR_STATUS ! This is *extremely* powerful and expressive. It allows you to condense complex, parametric template matching over multiple proocol layers. It would in the end match RSL DATA REQUEST, only if they contained a [valid] encoded RR STATUS. See https://gerrit.osmocom.org/6229 for the actual test case I used for the above examples. Please also note that I never had to even write the function name of the decoder (dec_PDU_ML3_MS_NW), but TTCN-3 *automatically* figures out which decoder function it must call in order to decode from the binary octetstring.

osmo-gsm-manuals in project repos: I see no .pdf
by Neels Hofmeyr 08 Jan '26

08 Jan '26

Hi Oliver, so I merged the stuff to add the manuals to the individual git repositories, since you said that it works. But when I do --enable-manuals I don't see any PDF files generated. Also a manual 'make pdf' says "nothing to be done". (I probably should have tried it before merging after all) So what am I doing wrong? Alternatively, can you fix it please? ~N

Move vlr code from osmo-msc into a own library
by Alexander 'lynxis' Couzens 25 Dec '25

25 Dec '25

Hi, a couple month ago I proposed to make the VLR code of the osmo-msc independent of the osmo-msc and create a new library called libosmo-vlr. Later use the libosmo-vlr code to integrate it into osmo-sgsn. But after take more time of this approach, I'm not sure if it is a very good idea to guarantee high stability of libosmo-vlr as we do for other osmocom libraries. Because the code is heavily integrated with both daemon and some code path are quite complex and partly not fully understood. I would rather guarantee runtime stability within a library version, but not at build time. The strategy would be increasing the library major version more often. Any thoughts? Best, lynxis PS. The current concept (because of time pressure) is to keep 2 copies of libosmo-vlr in the code base of osmo-msc and osmo-sgsn and to move it later out of it into an own library.

Some phones cant receive SMS
by Henry Caga 16 Dec '25

16 Dec '25

Hi, I would like to ask for help regarding my osmo-bsc setup. I have 2 problems as of now. 1) My setup is working fine on my phones, i can send and receive sms. However, on some phones, i can only send sms or call. But i cannot receive sms. I attached the sample logs from the phone that can receive sms and phone that cannot receive sms. I also included my config files. 2) i have a GPSDO TCXO and i wanted to use the maximum setting like setting up the 10mhz reference. what should i set or configure at the config files in order to set it? 3) Is there a way to improve my setup? Im using 50w PA and are there any settings that i have missed?

Splitting out M3UA and MTP3 out of Open BSC into a separate library
by Arran Cudbard-Bell 15 Dec '25

15 Dec '25

Hi, Developing a module for FreeRADIUS to support EAP-SIM and EAP-AKA authentication against a HLR. The HLR we were targeting only supported a SCTP/M3UA/SCCP/TCAP/MAP stack, so we couldn't use SUA. Ripping the M3UA/MTP3 code out of OpenBSC worked surprisingly well. We ended up running the event loop in a separate thread to work around the threading issues. Unfortunately the HLR implements the ANSI variant of everything, whereas OpenBSC and supporting libraries seem to have been written to be compatible with the ITU standards. ...but the differences are fairly minor at MTP3 and SCCP layers, and i've started work on a patchset for libosmo-sccp. https://gerrit.osmocom.org/#/c/73/ Anyway, trying to gauge interest in splitting those layers out of Open BSC into a separate library, would be happy to take on M2UA as well for consistency. It would almost certainly get more projects using the code. There's very little out there even in Perl land for working with SS7.

27 Nov '25

I’ve been spending weeks trying to find a reliable dissertation writing help service, but the options online feel endless and honestly, overwhelming. Some seem legit, others not so much. I'm at the PhD level, so the stakes are high, and I can’t afford to take risks on poor quality or generic content. Has anyone here actually used a dissertation writing service they’d recommend? I’m especially looking for something that offers strong PhD dissertation help with proper research support. What red flags should I watch for? How do you even verify a service is trustworthy? Any insights or personal experiences would really help me (and others) out! https://www.dissertationproposal.co.uk/dissertation-services/phd-dissertati…

New MGW for E1 Abis, future ThemWi sw plans
by Mychaela Falconia 24 Nov '25

24 Nov '25

Dear Osmocom community, I am pleased to announce the first usable version of my new MGW for use with OsmoBSC and E1-based BTS: https://gitea.osmocom.org/themwi/tw-e1abis-mgw This new sw component works as a drop-in replacement for osmo-mgw in the role of BSC-associated MGW for E1 Abis. Principal new features compared to OsmoMGW-E1 are: * The path from RTP input to fixed-timing TRAU-DL output passes through ThemWi jitter buffer (twjit), instead of blindly converting every received RTP packet to a TRAU-DL frame, queueing those frames to I.460 MUX Tx and hoping for the best. * For FR codec in the present implementation and for EFR coming later, a proper UL-to-DL transform (aka TFO transform) is applied to this RTP-to-DL path. This way if the stream of UL frames from the other call leg includes gaps due to radio errors, FACCH stealing or DTXu pauses, or if gaps are caused by packet loss, the stateful transform will produce proper error concealment or comfort noise insertion per TS 28.062 section C.3.2.1.1. * CSD is supported! This development may be the first time in Osmocom history of CSD working on an E1-based BTS. I tested this new MGW with Nokia InSite BTS and confirmed it working with all 3 classic GSM voice codecs (FR, HR and EFR) and with CSD up to 9600 bps. CSD at 14400 bps (D145_SYNC and EDATA frames) is supported too, but remains untested due to lack of needed support in OsmoMSC. My eventual goal is to use OsmoBSC and this new MGW with Ericsson RBS6k BTS, consisting of DUG20 and RUS or RRUS. I already have DUG20 and RUS01 hardware, but given all other work I still have to do on ThemWi CN software, I haven't got around to playing with Ericsson gear yet. My plans going forward are: * Get back to twrtp patches in Gerrit: implement the next round of changes per last round of review, and hopefully get twrtp into libosmo-netif so we can make it an option in OsmoBTS, in addition to E1 BTS. * Finish long-deferred work on libgsmhr1 in gsm-codec-lib. HRv1 codec is of course of no practical interest, can be regarded as a "just for fun" retronetworking feature, but I need to finish it so certain ThemWi components can rely on having encoders and decoders for all GSM codecs always available, and my TFO transform for HRv1 will serve as a stepping stone toward much more important TFO transform for EFR. * After the above, the big work item for me will be ThemWi-MSC. I won't get into details as I don't like writing about vaporware, but many of you know that currently I am still stuck on 2023-02 version of OsmoMSC while running newer versions of all other components. ThemWi-MSC will be my proper solution, but I'll write about it in detail only when it becomes a reality. Never stopping work toward restoration of top-quality GSM/2G networks, Mother Mychaela
