OpenBSC bug that triggers Qualcomm baseband bug (patch)
by Tobias Engel 25 Feb '12

25 Feb '12

Hi, currently, when OpenBSC receives any mobile originated Supplementary Service request, it always treats it as an USSD request (because the only SS it supports is a USSD request for sending back the extension of the subscriber). What I think the code in handle_rcv_ussd is meant to be doing is: If the request contained an USSD string, and if that string is equal to "*#100#", return the subscriber extension. In all other cases reject the request with "unrecognized component". But currently it returns the extension even when the SS request wasn't even an USSD request. That causes several phones with Qualcomm baseband to hang and reboot after a while because in some situations they send an interrogateSS request to query if any call forwardings are active and cannot handle the wrong answer they receive. (Strangely, that happens with most "modern" HTC phones i have tried right after logging into the network, rendering them completely useless for use with OpenBSC) Here is a patch: --- a/openbsc/src/libmsc/ussd.c +++ b/openbsc/src/libmsc/ussd.c @@ -54,7 +54,7 @@ int handle_rcv_ussd(struct gsm_subscriber_connection *conn, struct msgb *msg) if (req.text[0] == 0xFF) /* Release-Complete */ return 0; - if (strstr(USSD_TEXT_OWN_NUMBER, req.text) != NULL) { + if (strcmp(USSD_TEXT_OWN_NUMBER, (const char *) req.text) == 0) { DEBUGP(DMM, "USSD: Own number requested\n"); rc = send_own_number(conn, msg, &req); } else { -Tobias

OsmoDevCon preliminary schedule
by Harald Welte 24 Feb '12

24 Feb '12

Hi all! = Schedule = I've put together a preliminary schedule for OsmoDevCon. It can be seen at http://laforge.gnumonks.org/tmp/OsmoDevCon.ics or as a html rendering at http://laforge.gnumonks.org/tmp/OsmoDevCon.html Pleaes notice that there is still a lot of flexibility, let me know if I forgot anything or if there is something missing. Please also note that there are some topics which were suggested and where there is an obvious speaker/moderator, but where that person probably doesn't really know anything about having to talk about that topic yet (e.g. Holgers work on cellmgr-ng, Smalltalk projects, ...). So please don't be too surprised if you find your name somewhere. We will probably want to talk about the topic, whether you will have time to prepare some slides or not ;) If somebody knows a good way to render a nice overview HTML table from the .ics file, I would appreciate that, as it would give a better overview. I've attached a icedove screenshot for your reference meanwhile. = Arrival / Departure = We are starting at 11am on friday, for people who arrive that very morning in Berlin. There are no scheduled talks/discussions after the lunch break on monday, but we still have the room until monday night, so feel free to stay around for more unscheduled discussions and hacking. = Meals = == Lunch == We will probably have sponsored lunches on one or two days brought by catering into c-base, but apart from that all meals will be on your own expense. Nevertheless we could try to organize something (like ordering large pizzas) and then share the cost. This would avoid the time delays associated with having to go to a restaurant, make an order, wait for the food, go back to c-base, etc. == Dinner == All I could offer with regard to dinner is to make reservations in not-too-far-away restaurants, where we could go together. Please let me know if I should take care of that or rather not.

Location Update (IMSI Attach) Procedure
by Thomas Cooper 23 Feb '12

23 Feb '12

Hey Osmoworld, Just a little intro before my rambling questions... I've been working on connecting OpenBTS and osmo-bts/OpenBSC together, and everything works well enough to at least send messages between the two (it's somewhat hackish but it works for me so far). The phone sees the network and when I attempt to connect, it is assigned a SDCCH and starts the typical location update process. This makes me think the underlying issue is in my OpenBSC/network setup. Now for the problems: (probably best to check the console output below first) Even though the MS receives an ID request and returns an ID response, the LU Request times out and returns cause=13 (default from config). I'm not sure what happens after the ID response since it doesn't seem to have sent anything else down to the MS. I also don't know too much about the MS's job, but it seems to send 3 LU requests every time (2 of which are unnecessary and rejected as duplicates). I assume that's what the preceding ERROR IND messages are referring to, but I don't know for certain. My BTS BCCH has LAI=001/01/1, which is correctly set in both OpenBTS and OpenBSC config files. The Location Updating Request contains LAI=001/01/65534, which I think may be the main issue since LAC=65534 is reserved (even looking in GSM-04.08, I couldn't find any details about this; can you shed some light please?). The MS works with standard OpenBTS by the way. I've looked through the gsm_04_08 code and Wireshark capture, but no clues stick out. I'm not too familiar with OpenBSC in general, so this could be as simple as setting some kind of config parameter. I figured I'd ask on here for help in case I'm just missing something basic. Here is the console output (with debug and authorize-everyone flags on): Wed Feb 22 13:06:24 2012 <0004> abis_rsl.c:1317 (bts=0,trx=0,ts=0,ss=0) Activating ARFCN(51) SS(0) lctype SDCCH r=LOCATION_UPDATE ra=0x0e ta=0 Wed Feb 22 13:06:24 2012 <0004> abis_rsl.c:1064 (bts=0,trx=0,ts=0,ss=0) CHANNEL ACTIVATE ACK Wed Feb 22 13:06:25 2012 <0000> abis_rsl.c:1493 (bts=0,trx=0,ts=0,ss=0) SAPI=0 ESTABLISH INDICATION Wed Feb 22 13:06:25 2012 <0002> gsm_04_08.c:1023 LOCATION UPDATING REQUEST: mi_type=0x01 MI(460020020292786) type=NORMAL Wed Feb 22 13:06:25 2012 <0001> gsm_04_08.c:114 (bts 0 trx 0 ts 0 pd 05) Sending 0x18 to MS.

Hello David, > I could also give a more detailed presentation on the radiomodem and > FEC parts of OpenBTS if there is interest in such low-layer details, > maybe on Monday afternoon if there are still people around. I am interested too, however I have to leave on Monday afternoon. But if I am the only one affected there is of course no need to change the schedule.

OsmoDevCon planning / agenda
by Harald Welte 20 Feb '12

20 Feb '12

Hi all! Time is moving fast, and the OsmoDevCon is getting closer. There's still two months, but I think we should start to put together some kind of agenda. First of all, I would like to ask when we should start on Friday. I would make this somewhat dependent on when the participants will be arrviing. So far I was thinking about 10am. Please let me know if you arrive on Friday but significantly later than that. I have collected a number of topics for both 'presentation' style events as well as more round-table/discussion items at https://bs11-abis.gnumonks.org/trac/wiki/OsmoDevCon2012#Presentations and https://bs11-abis.gnumonks.org/trac/wiki/OsmoDevCon2012#WorkingGroupDiscuss… respectively. Please feel free to add topics that you want to speak yourself about, or that you would like to hear about. For example, we don't have anything about OsmoSDR or SIMtrace at this point, but I'm not sure how much interest there is about those topics. I would like to collect topics until 2012-02-15, and then start to make some kind of schedule.

nanoBTS with newer firmware (patch)
by flw＠smart.ms 17 Feb '12

17 Feb '12

Hi list, I just had tried to connect a nanoBTS model 165a with firmware v142b13d0 to openBSC. The BTS does connect to OML, starts with the PING - PONG and identifies itself, but nothing else happens (i.e. no software activate request). As recent firmware requires an explict IDENTITY ACK after answering an IDENTITY REQ with the RESP, I made a small patch to ipaccess.c - and voila, BTS connects OML, gets initalised (at the second attempt as usual - I'll try to dig into this later), establishes RSL and is happily showing green. Feel free to integrate the attached patch. Best regards, Flo.

Newbie question: CM Service reject

Hello All, After some trials and tribulations, I think I got my OpenBSC+LCR+Asterisk compiles and working. The MS connects once I spoof the proper MCC/MNC for the foreign SIM I have (to ensure that no one else can connect within my area).

Setting up a fixed IP for the ip.access nanoBTS using ipaccess-telnet
by carcelle 08 Feb '12

08 Feb '12

Hi dear list, After sometimes to get it work, I have set-up a fixed IP on my ip.access nanoBTS and thought that could be helpful to share the howto/tuto from this experience : The best way for linux user is to use the ipaccess-telnet tool from the git (git clone git://git.osmocom.org/libtelnet.git) rather than BTS installer from ip.access which doesn't easily allow the access to the flags of configuration (i.e. NV attributes) of the nanoBTS. 1/installation of ipaccess-telnet I have installed it on a debian 5.0.9 (linux 2.6.26) after git cloning git://git.osmocom.org/libtelnet.git my autotools versions : autoconf 2.61-8 + automake 1:1.10.1-3 after running into the following autotools build #autoreconf; automake --add-missing; autoreconf; autoconf; automake; ./configure --prefix=/usr/local; make -j 2; make install I ran into that error "ltmain.sh: No such file or directory" and used the following command to fix that config error #libtoolize in the libtelnet directory and I had the ipaccess-telnet tool build/installed 2/use of ipaccess-telnet on the nanoBTS once ipaccess-telnet is installed, one should first allow the telnet on port 3210 on the nanobts using that command #ipaccess-config -n 0x400/0x400 BTS_IP which set the correct mask on the flag enabling the telnet on port 3210. Then I could telnet the nanoBTS on port 3210 w/ the following command #ipaccess-telnet <ip> 3210 once on the CLI interface for the nanoBTS, you can get help w/ >help config (...) db::setnetmask <net mask> Sets nBTS IP Net Mask db::setipaddr <ipaddr> Sets nBTS IP address (...) db::getflags (...) db::setflag <flag> Enables Config Flag db::clearflag <flag> Disables Config Flag (...) >dhcp help Expecting 3 arguments DHCP configuration flags in database: - DHCP enabled: TRUE - static IP Address: TRUE - static IP gateway config: FALSE - static VSI config: FALSE DHCP configuration flags in use: - DHCP enabled: TRUE - static IP Address: TRUE - static IP gateway config: FALSE - static VSI config: FALSE DHCP uptime = 52567 seconds DHCP state: BOUND T1 inactive T2 inactive Lease Timer inactive and the static ip configuration : To set-up the IP address >db::setipaddr IP >db::setnetmask netmask To disable the DHCP client >dhcp dhcp false >db::clearflag dhcp Xavier Carcelle
