osmo-msc: repeatpaging?
by Neels Hofmeyr 04 Nov '19

04 Nov '19

I noticed the MSC test that wants osmo-msc to repeat a Paging to the BSC and hNodeB. After fixing the Iu tests, I wanted to get this last ttcn3-msc-test working, so I was about to implement repeated Paging from osmo-msc, but the more I think about it, the less it makes sense to me. The commit log in osmo-ttcn3-hacks says: Repeating will improve the reachability of MS when a Paging is lost or not received because the MS is moving between states. This reasoning seems flawed to me, because the BSC / hNodeB is between the MSC and the MS, and the BSC *does* repeat Paging. That should cover MS moving between states. The link between MSC and {BSC,hNodeB} is considered reliable, and AFAICT nothing really gets better when repeating a Paging request to the BSS. It could make sense to maybe repeat Paging with a larger/more general Cell Identifier List? But why not send the full list in the first place? Also 3GPP TS 48.008 3.1.10 Paging says: A single PAGING message across the MSC to BSS interface contains information on the cells in which the page shall be broadcast. I interpret the "A single" as: there is no repetition of Paging requests toward the BSS, and that's also what makes most sense to me infrastructurally. Is there any spec indicating repeated Paging from the MSC? I would actually remove the test TC_lu_and_mt_sms_paging_repeated. If that's the wrong call, we should specify how osmo-msc should repeat Paging. Before that, having the test makes little sense... What do you guys think? ~N

contrib: alternative ladder diagram format
by Neels Hofmeyr 01 Nov '19

01 Nov '19

Hi all, I wrote a script and am wondering whether it makes sense to publish it in libosmocore/contrib/. For codec negotiation patches, I was writing ladder diagrams manually in the mscgen format, and it was so annoying to type "[label=]" all the time, that I decided to write a script that parses a leaner ladder diagram format and converts it to mscgen format. I was going to use this format in osmo-msc.git, but actually, after I wrote the first osmo-msc codec ladder diagram, I went a step further and automated the process by transcribing an osmo-msc log output directly to a ladder diagram. That script can output to mscgen format, so in the end there is no dependency on that simpler ladder format from my osmo-msc patches. When writing ladder diagrams manually in the future, I'll probably choose my simpler ladder format. I could always submit the converted format instead of that, i.e. keep the simpler format to myself entirely. I could publish the script privately... Any opinions? Does it make sense to put this in libosmocore/contrib/ before any Osmocom git trees actually depend on it? See branch neels/contrib http://git.osmocom.org/libosmocore/commit/?h=neels/contrib&id=f1ec9483de0f9… ~N

massive VTY related master-osmo-{msc,sgsn} build failures

Dear Osmocom developers, please see the attached messages. I'm getting dozens of these since yesterday, it appears likely some regression was merged? Any help is appreciated.

build2.osmocom.org hardware replacement
by Harald Welte 28 Oct '19

28 Oct '19

Hi all, during the past couple of days, there have been a high number of build failures due to 'illegal instruction'. I checked about a handful of them, and they all happened on build2.osmocom.org. On the machine nothing strange could be observed, i.e. no oopses or the like. Also, debsums didn't report any broken compiler binaries. I've taken the builds slaves offline and asked for the machine to be replaced (disks will be moved so no data loss expected). Let's hope that fixes it. If not, I guess a full re-install of OS + lxc's (via ansible) is up next. -- - Harald Welte <laforge(a)osmocom.org> http://laforge.gnumonks.org/ ============================================================================ "Privacy in residential applications is a desirable marketing option."

I tweaked that wiki page a bit to be less of a pitfall to newcomers (hopefully). BTW, off-list, ah med wrote to us that he figured out to use osmo-trx and osmo-bts-trx but still struggles with the BladeRF. We asked him to come back on-list or visit IRC for further questions. ~N

Re: libosmovty version is UNKNOWN

Hi, > libosmocore.so.4 -> libosmocore.so.4.0.0 > libosmovty.so.0 -> libosmovty.so.0.0.0 it looks like you have installed a very old libosmocore. You need to remove it (make uninstall) and install the recent one from the upstream (not from OsmocomBB). With best regards, Vadim Yanitskiy.

libosmovty version is UNKNOWN
by Josip Stjepanović 20 Oct '19

20 Oct '19

Hello, Unfortunately I have come up to the problem that I can't google myself and my friends can't help with either. Maybe it has something to do with readme saying that libsomocore in the git I pulled isn't for system wide installation but when I make the osmocombb src then it spits out this: configure: error: Package requirements (libosmovty >= 0.10.0) were not met: Requested 'libosmovty >= 0.10.0' but version of Osmocom VTY Interface Library is UNKNOWN Consider adjusting the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable if you installed software in a non-standard prefix. Alternatively, you may set the environment variables LIBOSMOVTY_CFLAGS and LIBOSMOVTY_LIBS to avoid the need to call pkg-config. See the pkg-config man page for more details. Makefile:94: recipe for target 'host/layer23/Makefile' failed make: *** [host/layer23/Makefile] Error 1 If I need to get a different libosmocore could you provide it to me? Thank you
