Hello everyone,
I am experiencing problems when trying to run osmotrx with a b205mini and I connect another USB device to a different port on the machine. When I do this, osmotrx crashes instantly. Also, when I have the other device already plugged in when I start osmotrx, it takes ~20 seconds to crash.
Sometimes it just crashes without giving a reason, like here:

On the BTS side I see several messages of missed timers, but this is something I see also when I don't have the USB plugged in:

<0006> scheduler_trx.c:428 FN timer expire_count=7: We missed 6 timers
<0006> scheduler_trx.c:435 No more clock from transceiver
Does anyone know if this is a software or hardware problem? I am thinking maybe it is related to the power supply of the USB port, but I have no idea. I really need to have both devices connected at the same time.
Any help or suggestion is appreciated,
Jonathan
Hi all,
we're planning to tag a new libosmocore release.
If anyone has concerns about some APIs not being stable in master, then
please speak up :)
Best regards,
Oliver

I'm happy to announce that [finally], the osmo-epdg development has
reached its first release: 0.1.0.
[Link to news item: https://osmocom.org/news/262]
osmo-epdg[1] is combined ePDG and AAA to support Voice over Wifi (VoWiFi) calls.
An ePDG allows a UE to connect over regular wireless networks to an IMS
(untrusted non-3GPP network access).
The combined ePDG/AAA is using a modified strongSwan[2] together with
osmo-epdg[3], a daemon written in erlang/OTP.
The osmo-epdg has been tested with open5gs as EPC and kamailio as IMS.
To allow an easy setup of a fully working ePDG/epc/IMS there are ansible
playbooks[4] which has been used to create our Hosted ePDG playground
Thanks a lot to NLNet[5] for funding development of this project.
Thanks also to the main developers of this project:
Alexander "lynxis" Couzens and Pau "pespin" Espin Pedrol.
Best regards,
Harald

Hi,
I am using osmo-bts-trx with a B205-mini-i, using only CS services. I am currently running the following elements on Ubuntu 22.04, all built from source from the latest version:
- osmo-trx-uhd
- osmo-bts-trx
- osmo-bsc
- osmo-msc
- osmo-hlr
- osmo-mgw
- osmo-stp
- osmo-sip-connector
I have been testing the range of the cell, and I can't seem to get more than around 50 meters, even when I transmit at ~21 dBm using a power amplifier at TX. I find this range too low, since I am used to getting 200-300 meters out of the box when running 4G and 5G networks with the same device, so I suspect I am not configuring the network correctly. I've tried looking at every parameter, so far I've only noticed improvements when setting the min-qual-* to the minimum values and ms_max_power to the maximum.
These are my configs for TRX, BTS and BSC:

You might notice I am using the gpsdo as the clock-ref. That's because I've also tried with a B210 with the internal GPSDO, but the results are the same.
Thanks in advance,

Hello,
How can I utilize the iCE40 E1 USB adapter to transition from E1 to IP in a
GSM network, connecting a physical Siemens BSC (which has a BTS
connected) to OsmoMSC?
Only the BTS and BSC are physical. I already have osmo-e1d installed.
Should I use osmo-e1d or dahdi version for this transition?
What would be the best approach to begin the process?
Regards,
Alina
Hi
Do you know if the packet osmo-smlc should work with osmo-bsc, osmo-stp last versions?
I just tested, saw errors and tried to debug but perhaps I made mistakes (link, as, asp are up between BSC and SMLC via osmo-stp)
osmo-smlc 0.2.4
DLSCCP DEBUG <0011> sccp_user.c:176 Delivering N-PCSTATE.indication to SCCP User 'SCCP Management'
DLSCCP DEBUG <0011> sccp_scmg.c:298 Ignoring SCCP user primitive N-PCSTATE.indication

Hi all,
After the OsmoDevCon 2024, I have set up a repository containing the GSMTAPv3
WIP version: https://gitea.osmocom.org/peremen/gsmtapv3
There is a Redmine ticket for GSMTAPv3: https://osmocom.org/issues/6445
Currently only the global header structure and types/subtypes are defined, and
detailed explanation of what each data type stands for is still WIP. Also,
GSMTAPv3 will use T16L16V dynamic metadata instead of fixed metadata structure,
and the metadata definition is still in early stage.
Having a structure definition is the very begging, which will be followed by
additional works to actually use the new GSMTAPv3 format (APIs, Wireshark
dissector, ...). Any form of help will be much appreciated.
Best,
Shinjo
