Dear All, as you will know, we have applied for an experimental GSM license for the 26C3 (http://events.ccc.de/congress/2009/). Last week, the license was granted. However, only two ARFCN's have been granted (I applied for 8). As it turns out, this was a communication problem. Today they have acknowledged a third ARFCN. So we can have at least one single-TRX BTS on each floor. On wednesday they will determine whether we can have more than three, or if we'll have to live with three ARFCN only. If we get 6, it will be one dual-TRX BTS for each floor. If we get even more, the surplus ones can be used for random experiments. TODO items before 26C3 (for the next couple of days): * finish handover implementation (critical) * do some more testing with LCR integration (Andreas did it, but I also want to have more hands-on experience with it) * introduce log levels and/or per-subscriber tracing functionality to "see the signal among all the noise" while debugging problems in an otherwise busy network * ensure SMS implementation is more robust than at HAR * log all measurement reports to database for later analysis of handover performance. We could also get them from pcap files, so not strictly neccessary. Optional: * finish AMR-halfrate implementation, as this will increase our capacity. This includes dynamically selecting the codec that is used for each call. I don't think we'll manage finishing this, especially with the LCR integration. Standalone might be possible - but that is useless for 26C3 -- - Harald Welte <laforge(a)gnumonks.org> http://laforge.gnumonks.org/ ============================================================================ "Privacy in residential applications is a desirable marketing option."

AW: Update on GSM network at 26C3

by Andreas.Eversberg

> Does it means that we won't be able to do OpenBTS experiments there? > We planned to test new USSD code in OpenBTS and it will be a shame to > cancel this plans. i think, if you don't transmit "too loud", i.e ranges lower than a few meters, no one would care. i use a leaky dummy load for testing.

somes problems running OpenBSC with nanoBTS (1800)

by Fabrice Ismael Poundeu Tchouatieu

Hye everyone, i'm trying to build a small GSM Network using OpenBSC and nanoBTS. After the start of bsc_hack, when i try to scanned the network with my mobile station, i do find the right network. But when i try to register into this network, i'm not coming through. It's the first time that i'm trying to used OpenBSC and i do not exactly known how it works. below, a part of the output coming out after the start of bsc_hack: <0002> gsm_04_08_utils.c:144 (bts 0 trx 0 ts 0 pd 05) Sending 0x18 to MS.

nanoBTS 900

by Axel Walsleben

Hi List, i am searching for a used or new nanoBTS. Best would be an 900Mhz Model, but i take 'everything' i can get. I tried the Haralds Contact, but from there i didn't get any response. It seems that they are not willing to sell anything. :( Regards Axel

ip.access BTS IML dissector for wireshark

by Jai Menon

Hi, Attached is a direct port of the IML dissector code from the ip.access code to wireshark SVN head with a few changes to make it work with the current API. This was done as part of Harald's GSM workout during FOSS.IN and he suggested I post it to this list. I haven't really tested this code since I dont have access to IML traces, but assuming the original code worked, this one should too. Hope this is possibly useful to someone :) -- Jai Menon

[PATCH] bugfix: additional functionality indicator only appears in TP_VPF_ENHANCED

by Steffen 'stefreak' Neubauer

The patch is attached ("bugfix"). You can simply merge the stefreak/trivia branch (but there is one more change in it, see the second patch attached. abis_nm.c was executable, that's a really trivial change). Greetings, Steffen

Re: Issues on initial setup with BS-11

Can you check the "PLL set" and "PLL work" values with bs11_config ? If the BS-11 is locked to the E1 clock, it could be that the clock of the BS-11 is too far away from the correct value so that a phone will only find the official networks but not the one of the BS-11.

Re: Issues on initial setup with BS-11

Hello Paul, On Wed, 02 Dec 2009 22:36:53 +0000, s4dd(a)losers.yore.ma wrote: > Any help you guys could give is much appreciated! I think the problem is the "Invalid Channel Combination!!!" error message. Try to change "phys_chan_config" of timeslot 1 from "SDCCH8" to "TCH/F". From my understanding of verify_chan_comb() "SDCCH8" is not allowed on the same TRX that already has "CCCH+SDCCH4" so I wonder why it is set in the config file (this only applies to the BS11). Sorry, I don't have a ready BS11 configuration at hand right now, so I can't test it. Best regards, Dieter -- Dieter Spaar, Germany spaar(a)mirider.augusta.de

Issues on initial setup with BS-11

by s4dd＠losers.yore.ma

Hello all, I seem to have fallen at the last hurdle to achieving my first milestone - being able to see an available network from our BS-11/OpenBSC combi on a variety of MEs. Fingers crossed it's something trivial that has been overlooked. I've included some output from bs11_config and bsc_hack below in the hope that someone may spot the issue. Output from bs11_config during bootup: PHASE: 1 Load SMU Intended Abis-link: Down PHASE: 1 Load SMU Intended Abis-link: Down PHASE: 2 Load MBCCU MBCCU0: No Load MBCCU1: No Load Abis-link: Down PHASE: 2 Load MBCCU MBCCU0: Load BTSCAC MBCCU1: No Load Abis-link: Down PHASE: 2 Load MBCCU MBCCU0: Load BTSCAC MBCCU1: Load BTSCAC Abis-link: Down PHASE: 2 Load MBCCU MBCCU0: Load BTSDRX MBCCU1: Load BTSCAC Abis-link: Down PHASE: 2 Load MBCCU MBCCU0: Load BTSDRX MBCCU1: Load BTSDRX Abis-link: Down PHASE: 2 Load MBCCU MBCCU0: Load BTSBBX MBCCU1: Load BTSDRX Abis-link: Down PHASE: 2 Load MBCCU MBCCU0: Load BTSBBX MBCCU1: Load BTSBBX Abis-link: Down PHASE: 2 Load MBCCU MBCCU0: Load BTSBBX MBCCU1: Load BTSBBX Abis-link: Down PHASE: 2 Load MBCCU MBCCU0: Load BTSARC MBCCU1: Load BTSBBX Abis-link: Down PHASE: 2 Load MBCCU MBCCU0: Load BTSARC MBCCU1: Load BTSARC Abis-link: Down PHASE: 2 Load MBCCU MBCCU0: Load MBCCU1: Load BTSARC Abis-link: Down PHASE: 2 Load MBCCU MBCCU0: Load MBCCU1: Load BTSARC Abis-link: Down PHASE: 2 Load MBCCU MBCCU0: Load MBCCU1: Load Abis-link: Down PHASE: 3 Normal MBCCU0: Load MBCCU1: Load Abis-link: Restoring BS11 ATTRIBUTES: SITE MANAGER ATTRIBUTES: E1 Channel: Port=0 Timeslot=1 (Full Slot) TEI: 25 BS11 Line Interface ATTRIBUTES: PLL Mode: E1 Locked BS11 CCLK ATTRIBUTES: BS11 Power Amplifier 0 ATTRIBUTES: TRX Power: 30mW (GSM) LMT LOGOFF: ACK ************************************************************ Output from bs11_config with query: LMT LOGON: ACK PHASE: 3 Normal MBCCU0: Load MBCCU1: Load Abis-link: Up BS11 ATTRIBUTES: SITE MANAGER ATTRIBUTES: E1 Channel: Port=0 Timeslot=1 (Full Slot) TEI: 25 BS11 Line Interface ATTRIBUTES: PLL Mode: Standalone BS11 CCLK ATTRIBUTES: BS11 Power Amplifier 0 ATTRIBUTES: TRX Power: 30mW (GSM) LMT LOGOFF: ACK ************************************************************ bsc_hack startup: DB: Database initialized.
