Well, you are asking the lcr author to implement something for yate. I think it may be a bit of a strange question ;)
- Use extensive SCCP, MAP implementation already on yate and implement
full A interface integration towards yate.
I would be honestly surprised if yate implemented connection-oriented SCCP procedures. This is only used on the GSM A interface and not to be mistaken with the datagram-oriented SCCP (UDT only) used by TCAP/MAP.
In fact, it might make more sense to use the existing libosmo-sccp and either 1) add SCCP-lite (IPA multiplex) support to yate or 2) implement M3UA as a transport for osmo-bsc's existing libosmo-sccp and use that to connect to yate.
But then, I am not aware of any commercial OpenBSC user who has any interest in OpenBSC with classic A interface. Everybody wants to move away from TDM and to an all-IP RAN.
Furthermore, at least as far as I know, yate may not support AMR/EFR codecs, which makes it somewhat limited in the context of GSM. I may be wrong here, though.
