8-PSK modulation/demodulation
by Piotr Krysik 20 Aug '15

20 Aug '15

Hi all, I'm developing gr-gsm - the ancestor of Airprobe's gsm-receiver. I want to add support for 8-PSK reception. I'm going to implement a demodulator (preferably doing also channel equalization) and also modulator (currently mostly to generate test data). I don't want to duplicate work that was already done so I want to ask if you are aware of any publicly available 8-PSK implementations (or partial implementations) aimed at supporting EDGE reception? Also I will greatly appreciate pointing to any documents containing good information on this topic. -- Best Regards, Piotr Krysik

subdir-objects / autoconf
by Harald Welte 19 Aug '15

19 Aug '15

Hi Holger, I added libosmocore commit 7c942ba1475a366cc7c8a129fbdd335166ce21c6 during the camp as at the simtrace/osmocombb/openbsc workshop, several participants could not build the respective software packages. This behavior was observed by Kevin and me, and adding subdir-objects resolved the problem. Due to the hectic nature of a workshop where everyone is waiting for the build to succeed on the system of all participants we did not have time to record the specific distribution versions at that time. On Debian unstable with autoconf 2.50 / automake 1.15, the build generates the following warnings: =============== src/gsm/Makefile.am:15: warning: source file 'milenage/aes-encblock.c' is in a subdirectory, src/gsm/Makefile.am:15: but option 'subdir-objects' is disabled automake: warning: possible forward-incompatibility. automake: At least a source file is in a subdirectory, but the 'subdir-objects' automake: automake option hasn't been enabled. For now, the corresponding output automake: object file(s) will be placed in the top-level directory. However, automake: this behaviour will change in future Automake versions: they will automake: unconditionally cause object files to be placed in the same subdirectory automake: of the corresponding sources. automake: You are advised to start using 'subdir-objects' option throughout your automake: project, to avoid future incompatibilities. =============== The project still builds afterwards on this Debian system, so indeed it is just a warning. However, the warning quite clearly indicates that the use of subdir-objects is not optional in the future! So I'm not sure your revert of the assciated commit is the right way to proceed. The point seems to be that 'make distclean' wants to remove the generated objects for the tests, but the latter only are compiled when 'make check' is used, but not in the default build. Any ideas? -- - Harald Welte <laforge(a)gnumonks.org> http://laforge.gnumonks.org/ ============================================================================ "Privacy in residential applications is a desirable marketing option."

[PATCH libosmo-netif 00/18] add dummy padding support
by pablo＠gnumonks.org 19 Aug '15

19 Aug '15

From: Pablo Neira Ayuso <pablo(a)netfilter.org> The following patchset, although it looks a bit large, it is composed of many small incremental changes to improve the existing osmux infrastructure and to add dummy padding support. The dummy padding consists of a osmux header and payload that looks like this: OSMUX seq=000 ccid=002 ft=2 ctr=3 amr_f=0 amr_q=0 amr_ft=03 amr_cmr=00 ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ] The frame type is OSMUX_FT_DUMMY (=2) in the batch that whose payload is padded with 0xff. Note that the message above is padding the circuit ID 2. This is used for early bandwidth preallocation in links that involve relatively slow dynamic bandwidth allocation such as Iridium/OpenPort. The osmux test infrastructure has been improved (to resolve some memleaks) and enhanced to cover this new dummy support. The OpenBSC changeset is composed of one very small patch that will come after this batch. If no major concerns, I'll push this initial batch soon into the repository. Thanks. Pablo Neira Ayuso (18): osmux: discard non voice osmux message osmux: add osmux_input_state structure osmux: add circuit helper functions osmux: rename struct batch_list_node to osmux_circuit osmux: rename circuit->list to circuit->rtp_list osmux: pass up struct osmux_batch osmux: count pending messages to be transformed in the batch osmux: introduce osmux_xfrm_input_close_circuit() osmux: introduce osmux_xfrm_input_open_circuit() tests: osmux: adapt it to use the new circuit API tests: osmux: factor out main test loop tests: osmux: test online deactivation of dummy padding tests: osmux: validate dummy padding with no voice data interaction tests: osmux: test circuit reopening after closure osmux: kill osmux_get_hdr() tests: osmux: fix msgb leaks tests: compile tests with debugging symbols, ie. -g tests: osmux: iterate 64 times in osmo_test_loop() include/osmocom/netif/osmux.h | 8 +- src/osmux.c | 374 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++--------------- tests/Makefile.am | 2 +- tests/osmux/osmux_test.c | 80 ++++++--- 4 files changed, 304 insertions(+), 160 deletions(-) -- 1.7.10.4

Using GPRS
by OMAR RAMADAN 13 Aug '15

13 Aug '15

Hi list, I've installed omsocom for the first time on a USRP B200 and I'm interested in trying out the GPRS stack. I've followed a few pages on the wiki, namely http://openbsc.osmocom.org/trac/wiki/network_from_scratch and http://openbsc.osmocom.org/trac/wiki/OpenBSC_GPRS to get set up and I am not sure how up to date these tutorials are. I have calls working via the LCR, but I cannot get GPRS functioning. I see no activity on the BSC log when attempting GPRS attach using APN openbsc. I also see no traffic between the SGSN and the BSC (listening with tshark on 127.0.0.1:23000). Any help is appreciated. I am currently using osmo-trx/master, osmo-bsc/jolly/testing, libosmo-abis/jolly/multi-trx, omso-bts/jolly/trx, openggsn/master, and osmo-pcu/master. Best, Omar

MNCC and LCR
by ☎ 11 Aug '15

11 Aug '15

Hi all. One of the options for call routing for OpenBSC is LCR. They talk to each other over MNCC which is nice versioned protocol. What puzzles me most is the version difference: OpenBSC: openbsc/include/openbsc/mncc.h:166:#define MNCC_SOCK_VERSION 4 LCR: mncc.h:333:#define MNCC_SOCK_VERSION 5 The OpenBSC is latest from git://git.osmocom.org/openbsc master branch, the LCR is latest from git://git.misdn.eu/lcr.git, master branch as well. So, what am I missing? Where does this version difference comes from? On a related note - the MNCC code in OpenBSC is part of libbsc but there's no such package or library when I'm building .deb for example. If we could split off MNCC implementation into separate library (libmncc? libosmocore?) and use it from both LCR, OpenBSC (and whatever else we might want to use in future) than it would solve such versioning and compatibility issues once and for all. What do you think? -- best regards, Max, http://fairwaves.co

Hello. I have a problem with my sysmoBTS. When I start the bts I receive a BOOTME message. So after identify in the SysmoBTS Manual the problem like broken UBL, I tried to follow the manual using the dvnixload utility. I installed the binutils-multiarch package and others neccesarys for the execution of the divnixload, but during the proccess I get an error: root@ubun-osmo:/home/osmo-user/Documentos# ./dvnixload -p /dev/ttyUSB0 ubl-sysmobts-v2.elf u-boot-sysmobts-v2.elf dvnixload info: Using cross compiler "" dvnixload info: Expecting messages: [BOOTME] [BOOTPSP] [I_ME] dvnixload info: [BOOTME] received dvnixload error: Entry point not found dvnixload error: Entry point not found Do someone know why I get an "Entry point not found" message and how I can fix it? Thank you so much!! Diego.

osmo-nitb hangs with large hlr.sqlite3 file
by F Abdu 04 Aug '15

04 Aug '15

Dear Experts, Hello, I am running a gsm system with followings: OpenBSC version: 0.13.0.319-30e0e LCR version 1.14 astersik version 1.8.10.1 The system is sited is a busy area. The system works fine for few days but hangs once the hlr.sqlite3 file size reaches near 12 MB and that causes the osmo-nitb to take 99% of the cpu usage. I used "./osmo-nitb -m -P -C" to run the system. The hlr.sqlite3 file increases @2MB/Day. The 'Subscriber' table of the hlr.sqlite3 file adds a large number of IMSI with authorized=0. Tables like Counters, Eqipment and EquipmentWatch are filling up with lots of data. Now the only solution to this problem is to manually delete the data from the tables. May I get some light to solve the issue form the experts like you all? With regards. [ Content from the openbsc.cfg file is as following: ! !
