Hi everyone,
As I mentionned in the earlier post, I think it'd be great if we could
use FOSDEM to get known more. These projects covers a wide area, from
quite low level RF stuff, signal processing to higher level GSM
protocols ...so the work is certainly not missing :)
So what I'd like to know is who's planning on coming (yes/no/maybe) to
FOSDEM and if you'd be ready to help out or have equipment you could
bring.
Exactly _what_ we could do will most likely depend on the number of
answer to this mail :)
I've included OpenBTS, OpenBSC and airprobe here because they're the
three projects I know that deal with the 'network' part of GSM (as
opposed to the MS side for things like OpenMoko, Android, ...). And
even if they currently don't share that much code, the GSM knowledge
you gain by contributing to one of these can be directly applicable to
help out in the others.
Cheers !
Sylvain
(Hopefully) last patch attached - now sends the correct op-code in
response, works with all 6 phones I have tried. Interesting that 5 out
of 6 were happy with a completely different op-code and payload...

For info:
Ok, I called the IBPT and I got the procedure to follow to request frequencies.
The 900 MHz is entirely allocated to commercial operators but in the
1800 spectrum there are possibilities to get experimental licenses for
a small fee so I'm filling up the paper work ASAP.
For OpenBTS to work in the 1800 band we may need more stable clock
source (which I don't have yet).
For OpenBSC, I have a 1800 nanoBTS.

Hi!
I finally finished the report from the GSM test network that we operated at
HAR2009 using OpenBSC and two BS-11.
The report is available for download from
http://openbsc.gnumonks.org/trac/attachment/wiki/HAR2009/har2009-gsm-report…

hi all,
on the congress i use linux-call-router to route isdn traffic from
versatel to berlin and vice versa for free as part of versatel
sponsoring. i would like to join the POC (phone operation center) in the
upper hall again this year. there we sit close to the "eventphone" guys,
so we can easier communicate and do cabeling of our hardware. it would
be nice to have also the openbsc and openbts projects close to us. we
could easier interact and build one test networks. since eventphone uses
an own linux-call-router hardware, i can use my test machine without
disturbing the external isdn connection to versatel. it is equipped with
two E1 cards, one for interconnection with eventphone, the second one
can be used for BS11. eventphone has a big DECT pbx running and provides
mobile access.
what do you think?

Hello again,
More patches - these two (combined) add support for mobile-originated
USSD. The demonstration application, implemented in ussd.c, is that
sending *#100# to the network will display your 5-digit extension. It's
not 100% finished - I've tested it on 6 handsets, 5 of them work
perfectly, but the 6th (Samsung i520) doesn't seem to receive the
response, so more experimenting to be done...
Best regards to all,
Mike H.
Hi folks.
I can't get my setup working. Everything works, the BS11 boots up well,
openBSC loads well. At the software side, everything looks perfect.
But the setup does not work. I have testet my BSC now with 3 different
BS11. One of the BS11 is brandnew (Has been set in standalone directly
after installing the firmware.)!
I found this and i think that this is an explaination of the problem:
http://lists.gnumonks.org/pipermail/openbsc/2009-August/000783.html
Finally my question is if anone of you ever observed a semilar effect.
regards.

Hi!
Quite some time ago (must be 2-3 months ago), I have officially inquired
at ip.access about the source code of their wireshark modifications, as per
the GNU GPL.
It took them some time, but they eventually responded recently. Today I
finally received a CD-ROM with the source code.
I've uploaded it to the OpenBSC wiki, and it is now available from
http://openbsc.gnumonks.org/trac/attachment/wiki/nanoBTS/wireshark-1.0.6ipa…
Had I known earlier that ip.access has actually written a GPL licensed
dissector, many hours (rather days/weeks) of reverse engineering time would
have been saved.
I have not yet had time to review it thoroughly, though I plan to merge/port
the interesting bits of it with my dissectors for A-bis OML and ip.access RSL
extensions and eventually submit it to wireshark mainline.
If you use this source code, please don't just simply take it and push it
to upstream wireshark, as that would conflict with the patches that we have
in openbsc git at the moment.
Have fun with it,
Harald
