Sample configs for reproducing osmo-nitb behaviour with the split stack
by Rafael Diniz 23 Aug '19

23 Aug '19

Hi all, Today I'm working on updating my NuRAN unit with the new osmo stack in order to try to reproduce the same behavior of old osmo-nitb we use in production in Rhizomatica (with subscriber_create_on_demand feature on). I'm writing just in case someone already put online a set of config files with the parameters needed by such behavior set? ; ) ps: I have the new splip stack working fine here, I just need to modify my setup with new features to support subscriber_create_on_demand. Best regards, Rafael Diniz

osmo-hlr VTY tests failing on master
by Harald Welte 20 Aug '19

FYI. I don't see any commit until the last one from Pau on August 13. It could of course also be a change in libosmocore? -- - Harald Welte <laforge(a)gnumonks.org> http://laforge.gnumonks.org/ ============================================================================ "Privacy in residential applications is a desirable marketing option."

Diameter to GSUP translator
by Harald Welte 16 Aug '19

16 Aug '19

Hi all, as some of you know, I've been working on a small diameteer to GSUP translator, which allows us to connect a MME like nextepc-mme against osmo-hlr. The code is still a big ugly hack and needs cleanup, but today I finally got it to work for authentication and location update. In case anyone is curious how this looks like, I've attached a pcap file that includes the S1AP, DIAMETER, GSUP and GTPv2C traffic of an initial LTE registration happening on a setup running the following programs: * nextepc MME, SGW, PGW, PCRF * osmo_diameter2gsup * osmo-hlr The point of this is to enable networks to run a shared subscriber database for 2G, 3G and 4G, which is a very typical use case if you have existing Osmocom based network and want to extend it with LTE. We will test this translator extensively at the upcoming CCC Camp, where all three (2G, 3G and 4G) networks will be running. The sad part is that we don't yet have a common GGSN and P-GW, which means that the PDP/PDN context including the IP address will not persist when moving between 2G+3G on the one hand side and 4G on the other hand side. I expect to get the commit history cleaned up and plan to push the [Erlang] code to git.osmocom.org tomorrow.

3G handover (+ 35C3 experience)
by Mykola Shchetinin 15 Aug '19

15 Aug '19

Hello, dear Community, Has anybody tested how cell handover works in 3G with Osmocom software? 3G network was set up for 35C3: I would like to ask whether anybody noticed if a cell was reselected "smoothly" by the phone when the user was moving or it was like a drop of a connection and reconnection to a different cell afterwards? So, basically, the question is: Does the handover work in 3G Osmocom? (single HNBGW and MSC/SGSN) Thanks. Kind regards, Mykola

Failure to activate sigtran stack when using IPA on osmo-bsc

Hi, I’m trying to configure osmo-bsc to connect to an IPA based MSC and get a failure when activating the sigtran stack. Here’s the log: root@sysmobts-v2:/etc/osmocom# osmo-bsc -c /etc/osmocom/osmo-bsc.cfg <001d> ../../git/src/osmo_ss7.c:1269 0: ASP Restart for server not implemented yet! % Ignoring deprecated logging level everything % Ignoring deprecated logging level everything % dyn_ts_allow_tch_f is deprecated, rather use msc/codec-list to pick codecs <0011> ../../../git/src/vty/telnet_interface.c:104 telnet at 0.0.0.0 4242 <0013> ../../git/src/input/ipaccess.c:853 enabling ipaccess BSC mode on 0.0.0.0 with OML 3002 and RSL 3003 TCP ports <0018> ../../../git/src/ctrl/control_if.c:866 CTRL at 0.0.0.0 4249 <0008> ../../../git/src/osmo-bsc/osmo_bsc_sigtran.c:427 Initializing SCCP connection to MSC msc-0 <0008> ../../../git/src/osmo-bsc/osmo_bsc_sigtran.c:437 CS7 Instance identifier, A-Interface: 0 <001e> ../../git/src/sccp_user.c:397 msc-0: Using SS7 instance 0, pc:0.23.3 <001e> ../../git/src/sccp_user.c:411 msc-0: Creating AS instance <0005> ../../../git/src/osmo-bsc/osmo_bsc_main.c:504 Failed to initalize sigtran backhaul. I used the configuration posted by Harald part of ticker https://osmocom.org/issues/2544 https://osmocom.org/attachments/3154/osmo-bsc.cfg.ipa and get the same result. How can I troubleshoot further in order to know what’s happening? Best regards Roch.

interfacing core network to SIP world
by Keith 06 Aug '19

06 Aug '19

Hi all, Doing some testing recently with osmo-sip-connector, I noticed a few things that seem to be important regarding the user experience of a network with osmo-sip-connector. * The osmo-sip-connector is an external MNCC handler interface for one MSC. The MSC doesn't have any information about what is in the HLR. When the osmo-sip-connector sends a call towards the MSC, the msc does a VLR lookup: vlr_subscr_find_by_msisdn() in gsm_04_08_cc.c around line 1860. if that returns false we are doing mncc_release_ind() with GSM48_CC_CAUSE_UNASSIGNED_NR. That is getting translated into a SIP 404, which informs the caller that the number was not found. Logical but it's not correct if the subscriber does actually exist in the HLR. Actually the same problem exists when using the internal MNCC, If you call a subscriber that has just switched off their phone, you'll get an Un Assigned Number error cause. That would be incredibly confusing for the users. In rhizomatica's case, the audio played back to the caller would be "The number you have dialed does not exist, please verify it", while it should obviously be "The number you have dialed is temporarily unavailable, please try again later." What we have done there is send the caller to go physically ask ask the callee why they canceled their phone service, when all they did was switch off the phone. SO: There was some discussion about this at the devcon, I want to outline some points here, hopefully I understand it right. * The osmo-sip-connector should ask the HLR if the number exists before forwarding the call to MNCC. * There may be more than one MSC, in which case the HLR would inform osmo-sip-connector about which MSC to use. * The osmo-sip-connector could either be SIP associated, or MSC associated, that is to say: a) one osmo-sip-connector per SIP UA, sip-connector talks to HLR, and has multiple connections to MSCs (UDP then, not Unix Socket?) or b) one osmo-sip-connector per MSC, in which case the SIP UA would have to somehow query the HLR to ask where to send the call. Does that all sound correct? and then.. still a doubt: IIUC, in the traditional core network. When an MSC receives a MO SETUP from a local MS, and it does not have this number in the VLR, it should be querying HLR for routing info, (which may subsequently query another HLR) no? why are we only doing VLR lookup in the MSC? Is it simply "To be implemented" ? thanks! k/

Osmocom Village at CCC Camp 2019
by Harald Welte 01 Aug '19

01 Aug '19

Dear all, I've been asked by a number of pepole about a possible Osmocom village at the CCC Camp 2019. I personally didn't really have any plans, but given related e-mails and "encouragement" I went ahead and registered an "Osmocom Village", see https://signup.c3assemblies.de/assembly/3b8f7aa2-95d5-4c44-aadc-de8f2680e9c3 I also created a wiki page (as nobody else did, despite earlier discussion on IRC, SCNR) for coordinating related efforts at https://osmocom.org/projects/osmo-dev-con/wiki/CCC_Camp_2019 One of the bigger questions is about having a tent as well as some tables/benches to sit on and work. The Camp orga team nas been negotiating rates with a tent rental company, but to be honest I'm rather surprised by the extremely steep pricing. The smallest possible tent (6m x 3m) would cost 825 EUR. I'm not sure we want to raise that amount of money? Even if we'd be 10 people sharing it, its still 82.50 EUR per person. And that excludes any tables/chairs. I'm attaching the relevant parts of a mail from the assemblies orga team FYI. Please note there also is some kind of fragmentation / overlap with the team planning to run the GSM/3G networks at the camp, see Lynxis' related post at https://lists.osmocom.org/mailman/private/osmocom-event-orga/2019-June/0003… It's questionable whether it makes sense to have tow distinct 'villages', but given that e.g. I don't know anyone of that singularity city, I'm not sure if we'd either be welcome there, nor whether we'd want to associate us with them? Also, while the GSM network operation for sure has good reasons to mingle with the POC and whatever facilities they have, I'm not sure if the wider Osmocom community attendees unrelated to the GSM network operation wouldn't just be a disturbance/nuisance. In the end, to be honest, I personally do not feel I have the time and mental capacity to take on any additional tasks in terms of organizing anything. I just created the entry in c3assemblies as I was asked to, and I similarly created the related mailing list and wiki page. So please, anyone interested in making an Osmocom village happen one way or another, step up [and continue this discussion on the camp2019-village(a)lists.osmocom.org mailing list, without crossposting everywhere else :) Regards, Harald -- - Harald Welte <laforge(a)gnumonks.org> http://laforge.gnumonks.org/ ============================================================================ "Privacy in residential applications is a desirable marketing option."
