[ANNOUNCE] UmTRX sales start on the Hardware Freedom Day
by Alexander Chemeris 20 Apr '13

20 Apr '13

Dear all, (I'm sorry for cross-posting to several mailing lists, but it really belongs to all of them. Please respond only to a mailing list you're subscribed to.) UmTRX sales start =============== It's the Hardware Freedom Day and we're starting sales of UmTRX to celebrate it! Now you could order it directly from Fairwaves web-shop [1], UmTRX is a completely open-source hardware SDR transceiver designed for professional/industrial applications. We designed it for use with OpenBTS software [2], but it also works well with OsmoBTS/OpenBSC [3]. UmTRX uses a UHD [4] with only minor changes to interact with a host and thus works well with GnuRadio and other applications based on UHD. 1. http://shop.fairwaves.ru/ 2. https://code.google.com/p/umtrx/wiki/RunningOpenBTS 3. http://openbsc.osmocom.org/trac/wiki/OsmoBTS 4. https://github.com/fairwaves/UHD-Fairwaves Technical details ============== UmTRX is an SDR transceiver inspired by USRP N series. If you worked with USRP N you will find it familiar, but there are significant differences which are described below as well. * Single board with an integrated RF part. * Optimized for industrial use and high MTBF. * 1GbE Ethernet connectivity to a computer. * Two full-duplex RF channels (side "A" and "B" in UHD). * Single chip transceivers LMS6002D are used for AD/DA and RF processing (300MHz to 3.8GHz) * Stable reference clocks: - 26MHz TCXO (integer multiple of GSM sample rate) with 100ppb frequency stability. - DAC for TCXO frequency fine tuning. - Integrated GPS module for automatic TCXO frequency stabilization. - External clock source is possible. * Thermal sensors for temperature based calibration. * 100mW @ 900MHz, 50mW @ 1800MHz RF output power. * 8-28V DC input power supply. * Spartan 6 LX75 FPGA. PS Big thank you to Lime Microsystems for their excellent support of open-source users! Check out their chips if you're planning to develop and SDR system. GSM specific info ============== UmTRX was designed to be easy to use to use with OpenBTS and OsmoBTS. So far it's the easiest way to get them up and running in your lab. * Quad-band support without any changes * 100-200m coverage (with an external duplexer and a small omni antenna). * >2km coverage with an external 2W GSM repeater and a patch antenna * Two independent TRXs (*). * Single-ARFCN and Multi-ARFCN support. (*) OpenBTS doesn't support the second channel on UmTRX yet. We're working to implement this and plan to release this soon. I also want to say thank you to our beta testers who received earlier versions of UmTRX. Some of them even blogged about their experience :) http://blog.shimaore.net/2013/03/umtrx.html http://genesysguru.com/blog/blog/2013/03/23/umtrx-is-alive-again/ UmTRX package contents ======================== * UmTRXv2.1, flashed and ready to use. * Power supply, 12V/30W - http://www.phihong.com/assets/pdf/PSAC30U.pdf * U.FL-to-SMA-F pigtail cables. * Two small GSM antennas - one for Tx and one for Rx. * An active GPS antenna. * Thermal pads. Note 1: The power supply comes without a 220V power cord. Make sure to prepare one before you receive the UmTRX to be able to power it on immediately. ;) Note 2: You'll need a heatsink or a fan to prevent UmTRX from overheating during long continuous operation. We provide thermal pads, but you have to find a heatsink by yourself. HDD heatsinks are good options, because UmTRX has almost the same size as an HDD. -- Regards, Alexander Chemeris.

[PATCH] osmo-bts: fix linking order in Makefile.am

On some system (e.g. ubuntu) libosmovty must precede libosmocore otherwise we get undefined reference errors while linking. Signed-off-by: Nicolas J.

MNCC further reading
by ☎ 15 Apr '13

15 Apr '13

Hello. Could you advice me where to read more about MNCC protocol? openbsc/openbsc/include/openbsc/mncc.h references ETSI TS 100 940 which indeed has a lot of variables like MNCC.RECALL.IND in call control diagrams - but where are the reference to actual protocol? I've tried to google but got tons of unrelated junk :( Pardon if I'm asking smth obvious or already documented. Is there some library which will let me easily create simple tool which speaks mncc with openbsc (libmsc)? -- best regards, Max, http://fairwaves.ru

Question about ms max power parameter.
by dexter 11 Apr '13

11 Apr '13

Hi Folks. I have a simple and straight forward question: in the openbsc.cfg i find a parameter "ms max power" which is set to 15 dBm (apporox 30mW) by default. http://openbsc.osmocom.org/trac/wiki/osmo-nitb_VTY says the following: "maximum transmit power (in dBm) to be used by MS in this BTS. This is used in the System Information on the BCCH as well as for the MS power level at the time a dedicated channel is activated." My question is how low may i set ms max power level? Is 15dBm already the lowest possible minimum or can i set it down to 1dBm if i like? regards Philipp

hi, i just updated the transceiver/osmo-bts/openbsc/lcr documentation: http://openbsc.osmocom.org/trac/wiki/network_from_scratch the changes refer to some issues during UmTRX/Osmo-BTS workshop. especially it describes how to setup/run a network with and without LCR. regards, andreas

NEWSDR'13 Workshop / OpenBSC / OsmocomBB
by Harald Welte 31 Mar '13

31 Mar '13

Hi All, as I've just been made aware of by a business contact, there is a NEWSDR'13 workshop which, among other things, has OsmocomBB and OpenBSC on the list of topics: http://ecewp.ece.wpi.edu/wordpress/sdr-boston/newsdr-13/call-for-papers/ Did anyone ever hear of this workshop? Did the organizers ever make contact with us? I'm a bit surprised that somebody organizes a workshop with "our" projects on the agenda without even sending the CfP to us. Or maybe I just missed it? In case somebody is submitting a paper there: Please make sure to coordinate here in order to avoid different developers/contributors from submitting similar/related topics.
