Hello List,

I've noticed that In-Call Handover doesn't work on my Nokia InSites.
OpenBSC attempts the handover but as far as I can tell the device
never moves to the new channel.  E.g.

<000d> handover_decision.c:203 (bts=2,trx=0,ts=1): Cell on ARFCN XXX is better:
<000d> handover_logic.c:97 (old_lchan on BTS 2, new BTS 1) Starting handover
<0004> abis_rsl.c:1059 (bts=1,trx=0,ts=1,ss=0) CHANNEL ACTIVATE ACK
<000d> handover_logic.c:206 handover activate ack, send HO Command
<0004> abis_rsl.c:1032 (bts=1,trx=0,ts=1,ss=0) HANDOVER DETECT access delay = 0
<0000> abis_rsl.c:1481 (bts=1,trx=0,ts=1,ss=0) SAPI=0 ESTABLISH INDICATION
<0000> abis_rsl.c:1481 (bts=1,trx=0,ts=1,ss=0) SAPI=0 DATA INDICATION
<0003> gsm_04_08.c:1196 HANDOVER COMPLETE cause = Normal event
<000d> handover_logic.c:263 Subscriber AAABBBC00000ZZZZ HO from BTS
2->1 on ARFCN YYY->XXX
<0000> chan_alloc.c:421 (bts=2,trx=0,ts=1,ss=0) starting release sequence

Here it seems to get measurement results, because the device is still
on BTS2 (never moved?)

<0004> abis_rsl.c:967 (bts=2,trx=0,ts=1,ss=0): MEAS RES for inactive channel
<0004> abis_rsl.c:967 (bts=2,trx=0,ts=1,ss=0): MEAS RES for inactive channel
<0004> abis_rsl.c:967 (bts=2,trx=0,ts=1,ss=0): MEAS RES for inactive channel

After sometime things start to go crazy and the log fills up with messages like:

illegal trau (C1-C5) 00 00 01 01 00

Thanks,
Gus
