Hi all,

by the way: the paper is in tetra-misc.git/papers/

They have responded to me and indicated that they agreed to release the source
code (which was so far only used internally, so they have no legal obligation
to release it).

I don't have the source code yet, apparently they first want to translate some
documentation into English before providing it.

This is really great news.  I hope we can make quick progress in getting great
decodes once we have their code (which is generated from asn.1 specifications
that they wrote, so it should be relatively clean/systematic and not tons of
hand-coded cruft)

I'll keep you posted once there is any released code (which will be in
tetra-misc.git as soon as I get it, anyway).

I think we simply abuse GSMTAP and add a new TETRA frame type to it, this
way we can benefit from the existing UDP port registration at IANA and the
existing gsmtap code (in wireshark and libosmocore).

Regards,
	Harald
