Hi Lynxis,
Thank you for your response and suggestions. Regarding my current network setup, I am using a b200 device to connect my Android phone to the osmobts network. I am able to establish roaming connections successfully, and I can make and receive calls as well as send and receive SMS. However, I am encountering an issue with the network connection for data services. I am not able to connect to the E (EDGE) or G (GPRS) networks. Despite being in a coverage area, my phone does not receive an IP address for data services. It seems that the GPRS/EDGE setup is not functioning properly. I have checked the configuration files and made the necessary adjustments based on your recommendations. I have also reviewed the tun.network file and corrected the device name to "tun4". However, I am still experiencing difficulties.
To provide more information, here are some specific questions:
Can my mobile phone successfully connect to the network for voice calls and SMS? Yes, I can make and receive voice calls and send/receive SMS without any issues. Is the Circuit-Switched (CS) functionality, such as location update, working properly? Yes, the CS functionality, including location update, is working as expected. Is the Packet-Switched (PS) functionality, such as routing area update, working properly? No, the PS functionality, including routing area update, is not working. I am unable to establish a network connection for data services. Is my phone receiving an IP address for data services (PDP Context)? No, my phone is not receiving an IP address for data services. Have I checked for network traffic using tcpdump -i tun4 -vn? Yes, I have checked for network traffic using the mentioned command, and I have got this: tcpdump: listening on tun4, link-type EN10MB (Ethernet), snapshot length 262144 bytes
Unfortunately, I do not have a pcap trace available at the moment. If necessary, I can provide additional information or logs to assist with troubleshooting. Thank you for your continued support.

Hi Ahnaf,
the structure of osmocom have changed since the manual has been written. The manual is written for the long outdated osmo-nitb (a combined BSC,MSC).
I have noticed that the wiki page for OpenBSC GPRS at https://osmocom.org/projects/cellular-infrastructure/wiki/OpenBSC_GPRS
has
not been updated for four years, and since then, there have been significant updates to the software. As a result, the information on the GPRS/EDGE Setup page may be outdated, and I am struggling to configure
GPRS
on my system.
I have attached my configuration files below for your review.
I would recommend to take a look into the https://osmocom.org/projects/cellular-infrastructure/wiki/Osmocom_Network_In... But you already have configuration files for bsc, msc, sgsn, ggsn.
I would also recommend you to add an IP for every core network component and ran. Because it helps debugging to have the IPs seperate. For a local network (everything runs on the same host) I would do:
- 127.0.0.10 bts + pcu
- 127.0.0.11 bsc + bsc-mgw (yes running mgw twice)j
- 127.0.0.12 msc + osmo-sip-connector + msc-mgw
- 127.0.0.13 sgsn
- 127.0.0.14 ggsn
- 127.0.0.15 sip-server (e.g. asterix, ...)
- 127.0.0.16 hlr
You will need to change vty and ctrl interface ips as well.
Back to your current network. Are you running osmo-stp? osmo-stp is required for the new network.
Ok. but what is not working? Please add more information!
- Can your MS/UE connect to the network?
- CS: location update works?
- PS: routing area update works?
- Does your phones gets an IP? (PDP Context)
- Does `tcpdump -i tun4 -vn` shows any traffic?
Do you have a pcap trace? (Best to upload it to a website and only send the link on this mailinglist)
Your tun.network file looks wrong. The device should be named tun4 and the IP range is also wrong. Personally I wouldn't use systemd-networkd for this. At least I would expect routing issues. Also I wonder why there isn't a tun4 device.
Even if there is a tun4 device, you might missing the routing and depending on your setup, NAT/masquerading. I think you would need to run `ip route add 172.16.222.0/24 dev tun4` and `iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -j MASQUERADE -s 172.16.222.0/24 -o wlp1s0`
Best, lynxis
