Roaming allowed for using local sims
by Saba Arshad 20 Feb '17

20 Feb '17

Hello, I want to use the local sims having different MNC/MCC for implementing GPRS using osmocoms with OpenBTS same as I have used them for GSM calls and sms using only openBTS. But your site http://openbsc.osmocom.org/trac/wiki/OpenBSC_GPRS says, "it is currently not possible". As it is long when posted on this site so I want to ask is it possible *now* to use the local sims? Hope you have understood my question. Waiting for your reply. Thanks. Regards, Saba Arshad

Profiling data of decoding EPDAN compressed bitmap
by Prasad Kaup 29 Oct '16

29 Oct '16

Hello All, We have executed profiling test of two versions of algorithm for decoding compressed bitmap of EPDAN. >From the results , we see that performance is better in Tree based decoding (Version2 as given below ) Version 1: Bitmap based decoding as present in current master branch ( Function name osmo_t4_decode ) Version 2: Tree based decoding ( Function name decompress_crbb , as proposed in patch "Decompress the CRBB bitmap using tree based approach"<http://lists.osmocom.org/pipermail/osmocom-net-gprs/2016-March/000525.html> ) A sample bitmap taken from a real mobile log is used for the test. Host execution: Time taken to decode (micro seconds) Version 1: (Bitmap based decoding) : MIN -17 MAX -19 AVERAGE -17.9 Version 2 (tree based decoding): MIN -4 MAX -13 AVERAGE - 5.2 Target execution: Time taken to decode (micro seconds) Version 1: (Bitmap based decoding) : MIN -277 MAX -583 AVERAGE - 353 Version 2 (tree based decoding): MIN -67 MAX -86 AVERAGE - 69.8 Regards Prasad

sgsn segfault wegen sndcp / v42.bis commits?

I have a reproducable segfault in the SGSN, bisecting to below commit: (To bisect, I rearranged the commits, see branches neels/sndcp_bisect and neels/sndcp_bisect_bad in openbsc) ▶ git bisect bad 97991d56800fdc913e6fdf95cac68d598f66b498 is the first bad commit commit 97991d56800fdc913e6fdf95cac68d598f66b498 Author: Philipp <pmaier(a)sysmocom.de> Date: Fri Aug 26 17:00:21 2016 +0200 SNDCP: add RFC1144 header compression functionality - Add module to handle compression entities - Add module to control header compression - Introduce VTY commands for heade compression configuration - Add changes in sndcp and llc to integrate header compression Change-Id: Ia00260dc09978844c2865957b4d43000b78b5e43 :040000 040000 de76aa0ab5dc11ad81666f9f4c933544eedcd4f1 c199c47cd19b5a1a334020a598dba3e0be922fe5 M openbsc Reproduce: Have a 3G UE try to establish a PDP context. (basically just let it subscribe to the network with mobile data enabled.) Yes, this is on the sysmocom/iu branch.

GTP-u Kernel module
by Ferrer Guasch Vicent 25 Sep '16

25 Sep '16

Hi! We are affiliated with Aalto University and conducting research in the area of mobile networks. We have been improving Amit Chawre's project NwEPC<https://sourceforge.net/projects/nwepc/>. I saw your implementation of the GTP-U kernel module and I started to check If I could integrate it to this project. I couldn't find any roadmap of the GTP-U in your website. Do you have any future plans for it? I am interested in the following points: - Creation, modification and removal of unidirectional tunnels, opposed to the creation of both tunnels without possibility of modification. In the real EPC nodes, the tunnels are never created at the same time. Also they can be removed due to the UE moving to Idle state (i.e. GTP downlink between the eNB and the S-GW). - Possibility to send End Marker and direct and indirect forwarding tunnels. - The S-GW receive from a GTP endpoint and sends it to a different one. What mechanisms do you have in mind to do this? - Support of multiple EPS bearers for the same UE. - Policy control, enforcement and statistics reporting (probably integrating it with netfilter). How can I contribute to this project. Should I work on the whole kernel tree? I have no experience with kernel module development. If you want I could work on some API modification proposals and designs. Kind Regards, Vicent Ferrer Guasch PhD candidate Networking Technology Department of Communications and Networking Aalto University

OVS GTP-U patch
by Ashish Kurian 23 Sep '16

23 Sep '16

Dear Members, I have applied the GTP-U patch for OVS which was available online and it was applied successfully. But now I realised that a GTP-U kernel space implementation is available from you. I am not sure of the interplay of OVS and linux kernel. The patch for the OVS works in the kernel space and if I want to use the patched OVS with your linux kernel patch, should I do some modifications to the patch? Best Regards, Ashish Kurian

High level summary of the performance activity done by Radisys using NuRAN 1.0 platform
by Aravind Sirsikar 16 Sep '16

16 Sep '16

Hi All, Below is the high level summary of the performance activity carried on NuRAN 1.0 board with Commercial UE and Dongle under lab conditions. * Single MS test 1. UL Test a. Performance test for long duration (24 hours) for EGPRS Uplink (MCS9) with stable data rate of 45.2kbps 2. DL Test b. Performance test for long duration (24 hours) for EGPRS downlink(MCS9) with stable throughput of 223kbps with all slots configured for single UE c. Performance test for all EGPRS MCS(MCS1-MCS9) with stable expected throughput d. Stress test for short duration with more than theoretical max data rate (MCS9) without any breakage in the system. e. Stress test for short duration with signaling load (MCS8) without any breakage in the system. f. Speed test through speedtest.net downlink - 210kbps uplink - 40kbps * Multi MS test 3. DL Test a. Performance test for long duration (24 hours) for EGPRS downlink (4 UEs - MCS9) with a combined cell throughput of 223kbps.

[PATCH 1/3] Fix possible buffer overflow for gsn_restart file path

For strncat, to obtain n, one must not subtract the length of what is appended, but the length of what is already written from the buffer size.
