Hello Michael,

Thank you for your reply. I'd really appreciate it if you could send me your adaptation layer software. I'm a postgraduate student of The Saint-Petersburg University of Telecommunications and we are building a laboratory of Radio Systems for practical study of radio access technologies. So we do not need commercial functionality, stability or scalability, we need just an ability to show working with real hardware and ability to make some simple configurations and L3 calls.

Thank you Ivan

Hi Ivan,

Yes, we developed an adaption layer between Nokia IUA (packet Abis) and Osmo BSC. This was working well enough for basic signaling and 1st call.

However, we abandoned that design when we realized that we would have a lot of work, fixes and refactoring to do in the Osmo BSC to support the scalability of the Nokia platform. In the Nokia Flexi 2G architecture, TRXes and most other resources of the BTS are defined and instantiated based on signaling instructions from the BSC.

We developed our own 2G mobile core from scratch and we’re quite happy with it. It has already been commercially launched in a live, nationwide network.

I can send you a copy of the adaption layer if you’re interested. It may be able to bring your BTS online – but you will likely find that the path is generally a bit futile.

Best Regards,

Michael Andersen

Hello,

I see that currently openBSC/osmoBSC works with a number of old commercial BTS such as Ericsson/Nokia/Siemens etc. It works over E1/Abis. My question is, did somebody try something newer than Nokia UltraSite? I have an ability to try with FlexiBTS rel.3 with Abis over IP. I'm trying to find out if maybe it was already tried and had some unresolveable problems? Please let me know if any.

Thank you

Ivan

Hello Harald,

Thank you for information, Is my understanding correct that in your case RBS6000 connected via E1?

Thank you Ivan

We have just made current OsmoBSC + OsmoMGW work with the Ericsson RBS6000, specifically with the DUG10 + DUG20 models. If you use 'master' of all of Osmocom (or the nightly builds, for that matter) and the config file examples from https://git.osmocom.org/osmo-bsc/tree/doc/examples/osmo-bsc/ericsson it should work. Of course you have to make sure that your MCTR configuration / number of TRX / transmit power levels / ARFCNs etc. match the capability of your hardware and the IDB that's installed in the DUG.
