Running Osmocom GSM stack in Docker
by Matthew H 14 Nov '22

14 Nov '22

Hello, In the next couple of days I plan on getting started on configuring a simple Osmocom based GSM stack with all the key components, to use with a single 1800 MHz Nano BTS. Before I get too stuck in, I wanted to check if running in Docker (Straight Docker, no kubernetes etc) was feasible, and if the various packages behave when NAT etc is involved? Thanks Matthew / marrold

OsmoDevCall on Nov 16, 2022: MS/BS power control in OsmoBSC/OsmoBTS
by Harald Welte 14 Nov '22

14 Nov '22

Dear Osmocom community, we're happy to announce the next incarnation of OsmoDevCall]]. when: November 16, 2022 at 20:00 CET where: https://meeting5.franken.de/b/har-xbc-bsx-wvs This time, @fixeria will be presenting on MS/BS power control support in OsmoBSC/OsmoBTS For those not entirely 3gpp-acronym-savyy: That's how the uplink (phone -> network) and downlink (network -> phone) transmit RF power level is adjusted during an active call in GSM. This meeting will have the following schedule: 20:00 meet + greet 20:10 presentation as outlined above 21:00 unstructured supplementary social event [*] Attendance is free of charge and open to anyone with an interest in Osmocom or open source cellular technologies. More information about OsmoDevCall, including the schedule for further upcoming events can be found at https://osmocom.org/projects/osmo-dev-con/wiki/OsmoDevCall Looking forward to meeting you soon! Best regards, Harald [*] this is how we started to call the "unstructured" part of osmocom developer conferences in the past, basically where anyone can talk about anything, no formal schedule or structure. -- - Harald Welte <laforge(a)osmocom.org> http://laforge.gnumonks.org/ ============================================================================ "Privacy in residential applications is a desirable marketing option."

Two presentation proposals for OsmoDevCall
by Mychaela Falconia 09 Nov '22

09 Nov '22

Hello Osmocom community, Vadim (fixeria) invited me to give a presentation on some of my topics of expertise on OsmoDevCall; I have given some thought to which topics I could present on, and I have two proposals: Presentation 1: Themyscira Wireless: GSM network in sunny California. In this presentation I will describe the community GSM network I am building in my corner of the world, using Osmocom CNI software and whatever BTS hardware fits the bill, currently just one sysmoBTS. Whereas most well-known community GSM networks such as Rhizomatica have been built in areas with no commercial cellular coverage of any kind, my use case is very different: I live in an area where every square mm is blasted with super-strong 4G and 5G signals from 3 major carriers, but a community GSM network is needed in order to provide service specifically to *vintage* mobile phones, which require 2G. I will cover this unusual telos and the different design choices that stem from it, I will cover my own software that interfaces to OsmoMSC via MNCC, and I will cover my interface to USA PSTN via SIP with G.711 voice, including my own implementation of transcoding MGW. Presentation 2: Calypso chipset history and development boards, from TI to FreeCalypso. In this presentation I will cover the history of TI Calypso chipset itself (silicon and DSP revisions, ABB and RF chips), the history of TI's original support for these chips (reference fw and development boards), how various commercial Calypso device vendors changed things (very small changes in the case of Openmoko, huge changes in the case of Compal), how I entered the scene with my FreeCalypso brand, and the impact of two most recently discovered modem modules: Huawei GTM900 and iWOW TR-800. I will cover my motivations and upcoming new hardware plans, and at the end I would like to engage in a discussion on how to make FreeCalypso-suitable hw (meaning hw suitable for running full FC solution) more readily and less expensively available to interested players. I have added both of the above talk proposals to the wiki page: https://osmocom.org/projects/osmo-dev-con/wiki/OsmoDevCall but of course nothing is scheduled yet. Given that the schedule is booked many months in advance these days, it is now up to the community to decide what y'all are interested in, and if there is interest in both topics, which should be scheduled first. Sincerely, Lady Mychaela N. Falconia, Mother of FreeCalypso, Dame of the Order of 2G, Champion of Published Source Code

Osmo-BTS tx-attenuation
by Justin Mark Repollo 25 Oct '22

25 Oct '22

Hi Osmocom Community, May I ask your help on this. We have a test setup with UmTrx 2.3.2 SDR. We are trying to set the tx-attenuation and measure the power output but it seems it doesn't reflect based on the defined configurations. We tried to set 0, 5, 10 as values and below are the results. [image: 0-02-03-588e9973ceef2e018e29c0b2eb576f5b7d26972bbb779b44f79c97408d360299_1c6daee34bf8ee.jpg] [image: 0-02-06-99d6d7ce8551b10be62ea130c638b19c5475b5b4140bf2843b92a5b55d36c67c_1c6daee34bfeec.jpg] Please see attached files for osmo configurations and logs. Thanks! Regards, Justin

Osmocom binary package repository URLs have changed
by Oliver Smith 25 Oct '22

25 Oct '22

Hello various Osmocom mailing lists, as previously announced (https://osmocom.org/news/191): * The binary packages are being built on Osmocom's own OBS server now. * We will stop pushing packages to the openSUSE OBS server at the end of October (in one week). If you are using Osmocom binary packages, please make sure that you have configured the new repository URLs. See the wiki for details: https://osmocom.org/projects/cellular-infrastructure/wiki/Binary_Packages Best, Oliver -- - Oliver Smith <osmith(a)sysmocom.de> https://www.sysmocom.de/ ======================================================================= * sysmocom - systems for mobile communications GmbH * Alt-Moabit 93 * 10559 Berlin, Germany * Sitz / Registered office: Berlin, HRB 134158 B * Geschaeftsfuehrer / Managing Director: Harald Welte

Question about Commit 47afc424c3: gprs_ns2: implement BLOCK/UNBLOCK of a NSVC by vty
by Alexander Rehbein 23 Oct '22

23 Oct '22

Hello, in the changes to `src/gb/gprs_ns2_vc_fsm.c` (see subject line), I found a few lines that puzzle me (as a newbie to the Osmocom codebase(s), they look like an error to me): ``` case GPRS_NS2_EV_REQ_OM_UNBLOCK: /* vty cmd: unblock*/ if (!priv->om_blocked) return; priv->om_blocked = false; if (fi->state == GPRS_NS2_ST_BLOCKED) osmo_fsm_inst_state_chg(fi, GPRS_NS2_ST_BLOCKED, nsi->timeout[NS_TOUT_TNS_BLOCK], 0); break; ``` To me it seems like the 'new_state' argument should be `GPRS_NS2_ST_UNBLOCKED`, since we are trying to unblock (that's what the `event` case says here from my understanding). What am I misunderstanding here? Cheers, Alex

no calls in 2G network
by CRX 22 Oct '22

22 Oct '22

Hey, i am trying to build a 2G network with an ip.access BTS (Model 165G DCS1800). So far I can see the network on the RF spectrum and SMS delivery is working fine. Unfortunately I cant send calls to other phones. The open-bsc sends a lot of error messages to the log when the BTS is booting, I am not sure if my configuration is ok. As attachments there are my configs and the logs of open-bsc and osmo-msc. Thanks for your Help! regards crx

This meeting will have the following schedule: 20:00 meet + greet 20:10 presentation as outlined above 21:00 unstructured supplementary social event [*] Attendance is free of charge and open to anyone with an interest in Osmocom or open source cellular technologies.

RFC: OsmoDevCall restart: Your input required
by Harald Welte 16 Oct '22

16 Oct '22

Dear Osmocom community, your input is required in order to tune the re-launch of the OsmoDevCall talk series. One of the complaints before the suspension in Summer this year was that the "Friday night 8pm CEST" timeslot was not exactly ideal for several people. Finding a common denominator might be difficult, given that Osmocom is a dayjob for some, a hobby for most, and we're of course not all in the same time zone or even continent. So let's try to run a couple of polls to figure out: * What is the best day of the week for OsmoDevCall? https://bitpoll.de/poll/CEQnaQKEvO/ * What is the best time of day for OsmoDevCall? https://bitpoll.de/poll/59dgmzOocT/ * What is the best frequency of OsmoDevCall https://bitpoll.de/poll/8jyuRJB6Hb/ The polls are open until October 21st, 2021. I would appreciate a high turn-out so we have a good representation across our community to make an educated decision about the schedule of futur events. Can't wait to re-start OsmoDevCall!
