Hello friends,
I want to modify the SYSTEM INFORMATION data, but I have some difficulties to understand the GSM spec. It's about the GSM 04.08 part 10.5.2.34, I don't know how to interpet table 10.5.72 (and other similar tables).
According to paragraph 9.1.35 table 9.32 (GSM 04.08) SI3 rest octetets has a length of 4 bytes, but according to par. 10.5.2.34 we're dealing with a type 5 IE and thus with length of 5 bytes. That's odd to me, but hey, the world is full of surprises :)
Anyway, the problem is I don't know how to interpret table 10.5.72 (of GSM 04.08). I mean, for example, element CBQ (Cell Bar Qualify) is at bit 1. Bit 1 of what, which octet? What is L | H? Can someone explain it to me, so I can experiment with SI messages?
Thank you!
Well guys,
If someone can help me with how to fill in the Rest Octets, I'll send you a postcard from my city to thank you :) What I found out is that it uses CSN.1 notation, but the description is hard to follow, I began to see words floating around the screen.
<SI3RestOctet>::=<Optionalselectionparameters> <OptionalPoweroffset> <SystemInformation2terIndicator> <EarlyClassmarkSendingControl> <Schedulingifandwhere> {L|H<GPRSIndicator>} <sparepadding>:
<OptionalSelectionParameters>::= L |H <SelectionParameters>;
<SelectionParameters>::= CBQ:bit(1) <CELL_RESELECT_OFFSET:bit(6)> <TEMPORARY_OFFSET:bit(3)> <PENALTY_TIME:bit(5)>;
<OptionalPowerOffset>::= L |H PowerOffset:bit(2);<SystemInformation2terIndicator>::= L|H;
<EarlyClassmarkSendingControl>::= L|H;
<Schedulingifandwhere>::= L|H WHERE:bit(3);
<GPRSIndicator>::= <RACOLOUR :bit(3)> < SI13POSITION :bit>;
So, now I want to enable GPRS support by do something with GPRSIndicator. This is how I thought to do that: L|H -> 1 next -> RACOLOUR -> 000 next -> SI13POSITION -> 0 So we get -> 1 000 0
Next step is to do something with padding but than I'm lost. I don't have good documentations on how to use CSN.1 for GSM network.

You will probably find GSM 04.07 Appendix B of some use here. Specifically, for a description of the padding sequence and the meaning of "H" and "L" see GSM 04.07 B.1.2.2.

What I personally imagine might help is to look at the BSSMAP dissector in wireshark. It typically contains quite easily readable C-code for the actual packet parsing.

Ok, I'll look at it this weekend. I haven't used wireshark a lot, but this is the right time to learn to work with it. Also to analyze your trace you post me about listening to neigbourcells with nanobts.
