Hi,

I am using OpenBSC with nanoBTS 165CU and 165AU models. In normal location
update BTS sends CHAN ACT NACK several times for the same ts and ss. After
that it sends some failure messages and restart the trx. Here i copy the
related logs from openbsc console:

I could not realize the reason of the problem but i think there is
something wrong about the sequence of channel activation, release,  ack and
nack messages between openbsc and bts. Could somebody help about the
solution of this or at give some idea to realize the problem?

Thanks
Jason
