About OpenBSC
|
||||
About OsmoBSC
|
||||
=============
|
||||
|
||||
OpenBSC started as a minimalistic all-in-one implementation of the GSM Network,
|
||||
with particular emphasis on the functionality typically provided by the BSC,
|
||||
MSC, HLR, VLR and SMSC. Today it is a growing suite of libraries and programs,
|
||||
implementing protocol stacks and functional elements, including
|
||||
OsmoBSC originated from the OpenBSC project, which started as a minimalistic
|
||||
all-in-one implementation of the GSM Network. In 2017, OpenBSC had reached
|
||||
maturity and diversity (including M3UA SIGTRAN and 3G support in the form of
|
||||
IuCS and IuPS interfaces) that naturally lead to a separation of the all-in-one
|
||||
approach to fully independent separate programs as in typical GSM networks.
|
||||
|
||||
* OsmoBSC - a pure GSM BSC, speaking Abis/IP to the BTS and A/IP to the MSC
|
||||
* OsmoBSC-MGCP - MGCP helper to the OsmoBSC software
|
||||
* OsmoNITB - a BSC+MSC+VLR+HLR+SMSC "Network in the box".
|
||||
* OsmoMSC - a voice CN with A/IP and IuCS/IP towards the BSC and/or HNB-GW
|
||||
* OsmoSGSN - a GPRS SGSN with Gb/IP and IuPS/IP towards the PCU and/or HNB-GW
|
||||
* Osmo-GbProxy - a Proxy to aggregate many Gb links as one Gb link to the SGSN
|
||||
* OsmoBSCNAT - a gateway aggregating many A links as one A link to the MSC
|
||||
* OsmoGTPHUB - a hub aggregating many GTP links (between SGSN and GGSN)
|
||||
* ipaccess-utils - some tools to discover + configure ip.access nanoBTS
|
||||
* bs11_config - a tool to configure the Siemens BS-11 microBTS
|
||||
OsmoBSC was one of the parts split off from the old openbsc.git. Before, it
|
||||
worked as a standalone osmo-bsc binary as well as a combination of libbsc and
|
||||
libmsc, i.e. the old OsmoNITB. Since the standalone OsmoMSC with a true A
|
||||
interface (and IuCS for 3G support) is available, OsmoBSC exists only as a
|
||||
separate standalone entity.
|
||||
|
||||
Various interfaces towards the BTS are supported, among which are:
|
||||
OsmoBSC exposes
|
||||
- A over IP towards an MSC (e.g. OsmoMSC);
|
||||
- Abis interfaces towards various kinds of BTS;
|
||||
- The Osmocom typical telnet VTY and CTRL interfaces.
|
||||
|
||||
* Classic A-bis over E1 using a mISDN based E1 interface. In other
|
||||
words, you can connect existing GSM Base Transceiver Station (BTS)
|
||||
through E1 to OpenBSC. So far, we have made it work with the Siemens BS-11,
|
||||
various Ericsson RBS2xxx BTS models and the Nokia MetroSite.

|
||||
* A-bis over IP as used by the ip.access nanoBTS product family as well as
|
||||
the Open Source OsmoBTS software (by the same authors as OpenBSC). OsmoBTS
|
||||
in turn supports various transceiver hardware, including the sysmoBTS
|
||||
product family, as well as SDR transceivers supported by OsmoTRX, such as
|
||||
the UmTRX or USRP boardss.
|
||||
|
||||
* IuCS and IuPS over IP towards an HNB-GW (see osmo-iuh) for UMTS (3G)
|
||||
voice and data links.
