how can i advice the phone to use the "full" power level according to the power class of the bs11? what parameter and what value is required?

Currently the BS power is set in rsl_rx_chan_rqd() (file abis_rsl.c), its the "lchan->ms_power" assignment. Currently the value 0x0F (13 dBm) is used (I am not sure if this is still true for the latest version of OpenBSC). If you set this value to 0, the MS will use the maximum power (usually only 5 is supported for GSM900, 2 Watt). I did only a few tests, but I could see that my phone uses the modified value.

You can of course also look at the measurement report and check the used values.

currently we have "kieler woche", an event with up to 3.000.000 visitors over one week.

for the "mobile base station" i use a standard PC with E1/S0 card, a BS11, a laptop, an ISDN phone, and an UPS with 4 * 200Ah batteries.

Cool, do you have some pictures of the setup ? :-)

Best regards, Dieter
