Annoucement of first tagged release of osmo-epdg

by Harald Welte

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 [1] https://osmocom.org/projects/osmo-epdg/wiki [2] https://gitea.osmocom.org/ims-volte-vowifi/strongswan-epdg [3] https://gitea.osmocom.org/Erlang/osmo-epdg [4] https://gitea.osmocom.org/ims-volte-vowifi/ansible-prototype [5] https://nlnet.nl/project/Osmocom-ePDG/ -- - Harald Welte <laforge(a)osmocom.org> https://laforge.gnumonks.org/ ============================================================================ "Privacy in residential applications is a desirable marketing option."

Cell coverage of OsmoBTS B205mini-i

by JPichel

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: OsmoTRX: ``` log stderr ... ! line vty no login ! cpu-sched policy rr 18 trx bind-ip 127.0.0.1 remote-ip 127.0.0.1 egprs disable tx-sps 4 rx-sps 4 clock-ref gpsdo chan 0 ``` ``` ! !

That's because I've also tried with a B210 with the internal GPSDO, but the results are the same. Thanks in advance, Jonathan Pichel

E1 to IP with iCE40 E1 USB interface

by Alina Androne

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

how do I configure half-rate voice support

by cocfarabicoc＠gmail.com

I opened this issue for your support and suggestions. I have doing call testing with msisdn(Private network serving the local user). When osmo-bsc-cfg's timeslots are 0->CCCH+SDCCH4, rest 1-7 TCH/F, I can successfully connect 6 phones to each other. When I try to call between 7th and 8th phones, I get an error (from osmo-bts), "Resources unavailable,unspecified"(GSM48_CC_CAUSE_RESOURCE_UNAVAIL).

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 DLSCCP DEBUG <0011> sccp_user.c:176 Delivering N-PCSTATE.indication to SCCP User 'OsmoSMLC-Lb' DLB ERROR <0002> sccp_lb_inst.c:167 (Lb) sccp_lb_sap_up(N-PCSTATE.indication) unsupported Many thanks in advance Best regards Jean-Marc

Developing GSMTAP version 3

by Shinjo Park

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

Question about connecting OSMO-MSC to MME from Open5Gs

by Hennig, Lilly

Hello everybody, I was trying to setup an OSMO-MSC with an Open5Gs-Corenetwork, so I can send SMS to different UEs. Unfortunately the OSMO-MSC does not connect to the MME of the Open5Gs-Core and I do not find any installation guide for this specific setup. For your information: The Open5Gs-Core runs on a Laptop and I build the Software from source (4G and 5G components). The MSC should run on the same Laptop. Therefore I would like to ask you, if you can tell me, which other components besides of the OSMO-MSC I possibly have to install and how I should configure this components and the components of the core. Many thanks in advance! Best regards Lilly Hennig
