Not in the Abis communication, its the BTS which cares about frames
but not the BSC. For the nanoBTS it is most certainly possible to get
debug traces from the debug port (but probably not on Abis) which
contain the frame number, but I am not aware that the same is possible
for the BS-11.
If you are interested in this low-level Layer 1 stuff, you might have
a look at OpenBTS, you can adjust nearly everything or trace at a really
low level.
Best regards,
Dieter

Hi,
I saw something wierd using misdn_log to see the Abis communication : even
if i don't call or send SMS I can see a periodic paging and a periodic RACH
answer.
The period of the paging is 2.6 seconds.
The RACH appears 16 or 17 ms after the paging.
In attached file the capture (open with wireshark) :
1. a call Mobile1(Nokia6310i)-->2(Ericsson)
2. a SMS Mobile 1-->2
3. a call Mobile 2-->1
4. a SMS Mobile 2-->1
Between these 4 operations we can see lot of paging and RACH with no
interruption.
Does anyone understand this?
Btw the SMS doesn't work for me. It is transmitted towards the BTS but not
fowarded from the BTS to the 2nd mobile.

you are seeing those paging commands only on the A-bis interface but not
on the log output of OpenBSC?
Btw the SMS doesn't work for me. It is transmitted
towards the BTS but not
fowarded from the BTS to the 2nd mobile.
No surprise here. the latter code is not implemented yet ;) Working on it.

well I didn't pay attention to this for the log of OpenBSC but it's the same
yes. I still don't understand what are these 2 packets. Could it be the
information for paging loaded each 2,5 seconds in only one packet? I mean :
even if we have no paging request these packets should be sent?
And every RACH information regrouped in one packet is also transmitted
towards the BSC periodically?
Thanks

Well I didn't use the log of OpenBSC in the same time but normally there is
no periodic paging like this with the log of OpenBSC. I will try it again
tomorrow and compare with the log of OpenBSC.
if i don't call or send SMS I can see a
periodic paging and a periodic

answer.

Hi,
I still have one question about the log. We can see only messages going from
BTS to BSC but not the ones in the other way. Why?
This is the case with the log from mISDN tool and I think it's almost the
same with bsc_hack option but I need to check (I think with bsc_hack option
there are some messages in the other way too but a lot of them are missing
like during a call procedure for example).

I would give you answers if I had them. As I indicated before on this list,
I'm almost constantly travelling and rarely have access to a BS-11, so I
cannot test/verify any of your findings. I did some casual checking of
misdn_log last time, and it _seemed_ to work fine.

Hello,
I give you a screenshot in attached file. May be Andreas know why.
This screenshot shows a terminated call procedure.
We should have :
BTS --> BSC : CHANNEL REQUIRED
BSC --> BTS : CHANNEL ACTIVATION
BTS --> BSC : CHANNEL ACTIVATION ACK
BSC --> BTS : IMMEDIATE ASSIGNMENT COMMAND
and so on
And on the misdn log we only have :
BTS --> BSC : CHANNEL REQUIRED
BTS --> BSC : CHANNEL ACTIVATION ACK
and so on
I can't see any message from BSC to BTS.
But I can see : "S, func=RR, N(R)=23" from LAPD format
I didn't find what it is exactly.
Thanks
