Neels Hofmeyr nhofmeyr at sysmocom.deYesterday I came across gsm_ts2chan_nr() in openbsc gsm_data_shared.c
(which is used both in openbsc and osmo-bts).
IIUC this case would expect lchan_nr to be in the range 0..3:
case GSM_PCHAN_CCCH_SDCCH4:
case GSM_PCHAN_CCCH_SDCCH4_CBCH:
cbits = 0x04;
cbits += lchan_nr;
break;
Because if we'd add 4 or more, we would be walking into this cbits space:
case GSM_PCHAN_SDCCH8_SACCH8C:
case GSM_PCHAN_SDCCH8_SACCH8C_CBCH:
cbits = 0x08;
cbits += lchan_nr;
break;
The thing is, I added an assert for lchan_nr < 4, and it hits. We're
actually passing lchan_nr == 4 and thus use cbits = 0x08 for a
GSM_PCHAN_CCCH_SDCCH4: wrong.
This code in osmo-bts-*/oml.c:opstart_compl() activates lchan[4] of a
CCCH+SDCCH4 ts:
/* ugly hack to auto-activate all SAPIs for the BCCH/CCCH on TS0 */
if (mo->obj_class == NM_OC_CHANNEL && mo->obj_inst.trx_nr == 0 &&
mo->obj_inst.ts_nr == 0) {
struct gsm_lchan *cbch = gsm_bts_get_cbch(mo->bts);
DEBUGP(DL1C, "====> trying to activate lchans of BCCH\n");
mo->bts->c0->ts[0].lchan[4].rel_act_kind = LCHAN_REL_ACT_OML;
lchan_activate(&mo->bts->c0->ts[0].lchan[4]);
if (cbch) {
cbch->rel_act_kind = LCHAN_REL_ACT_OML;
lchan_activate(cbch);
}
}
This [4] the first SDCCH4, because this has CCCH in the first [0..3], right?
But then we should use lchan->nr - 4 to add to the cbits, right?
It seems pretty much everyone, our code and various BTS models, are ignoring
the erratic cbits, but would be good to fix.
My SysmoBTS GSM cell still works if I pass cbits = 0x04 instead of 0x08, like
this:
case GSM_PCHAN_CCCH_SDCCH4:
case GSM_PCHAN_CCCH_SDCCH4_CBCH:
/* SDCCH4 is in lchan_nr 4..7, so subtract 4 before adding to
* the cbits. */
if (lchan_nr >= 4)
lchan_nr -= 4;
OSMO_ASSERT(lchan_nr < 4);
cbits = 0x04;
cbits += lchan_nr;
However, I guess passing 0x04 cbits for a CCCH lchan is wrong as well (0x04 is
RSL_CHAN_SDCCH4_ACCH). Instead, we should pass RSL_CHAN_RACH (Uplink CCCH) or
RSL_CHAN_PCH_AGCH (Downlink CCCH), right? How to decide which of the two?
Thanks for any hints,
