The ip.access nanoBTS has issues if the admin changes are called
too often in too little time. This will lead to a situation where
the site manager will fail to start properly. Remove the TRX code
as the RF Control class does not support setting this per TRX.

We now have a lchan->csd_mode member that determines if RSL should
activate the channel in CSD transparent services or not. The previous
code always assumed CSD is non-transparent.
(This requires libosmocore >= eed26116c96f03c6128fac3dead9054714af6cab)
Some nodes below 'config' didn't have ournode_exit / ournode_end,
and thus were not able to properly perform this function. exit should
always only go back one level, while end drops us back to ENABLE_NODE.
The prompt now represents the nesting level, and there's one consistent
space after the final prompt character (typically #).
This effectively limits the number of BTSs to 256, but I think that's
acceptable for now. Unfortuantely there's no decent way to dynamically
update the valid number range depending on how many BTSs are actually
configured in the system :/
Update/Move/Create example configuration files for NiTB, BSC,
MGCP, NAT and the GbProxy. Create a script that starts, generates

While generally we should log troly unknown RR messages, we can simply
pass along RRLP messages (which aren't unknown!)
In real networks, the RRLP would probably not end up at the MSC, but
well, sometimes we don't care what real/classic networks do.
A crash was obsserved in cb_data_ind() when mm is dereferenced.
This patch adds some safeguards that try to prevent the library handle
back-pointer to the pdp_ctx to be NULL, and print a stack backtrace in
case we are free() ing the sgsn-side pdp_ctx while there's still a
library handle attached.
The Nokia E71 sends a "IMSI Detach" this msc code does not immediately
send the "RR Channel Release", the E71 is impatient and sends a DISC,
the "RELEASE INDICATION" is handled by starting the channel release
procedure. OpenBSC sends a "RR Channel Release" which will never be
answered, during the early release there is no timer and the lchan will
be in "RELEASE REQUESTED" forever.
This commit removes the anchor operation and checks if the channel can
be released immediately. Regarding the channel release handling there
is already a branch that needs to be tested.
We are currently not checking if the BTS actually suports that cipher,
and we particularly don't have any hack for ip.access which apparently
seems to re-use the RSL algorithm identifier for A5/2.
so far, osmo-bts/sysmobts used to be entered as "sysmobts" type in the
configuration file. However, there are some differences in the
protocol/behaviour and we should reflect that by a new BTS plugin (with
lots of code reuse from the nanobts driver).
Instead of direct function calls to individual functions, we now
generate primitives (osmo_prim) and send them to one
application-provided function "bssgp_prim_cb()"
The ip.access nanoBTS appears to send quite broken NTP timestamps in
the RTCP messages might confuse equipment that uses the sender report
of the BTS. Make it easy to experiment by adding an option to drop RTCP.
In case the connection should not be created/accepted release
the channel by sending a RR Release and de-activating the
SACCH. Phones should deal better with that behavior.
In case the call handling starts on a TCH/H switch to a TCH/F
if fullrate is requested. Add a method that is used to determine
if the mode and current channel are compatible with each other.

Instead of building complex manual byte-wise parsers, we simply use two
strtok_r loops: one iterating over all the lines, the next one
iterating over the invididual space-separated elements in the first line.
The benefit is that we now accept \r, \n or \r\n, or any multiple of
them as line ending. This works around incompliant MGCP implementations
like that of Zynetix MSC.
Addition: mgcp_analyze_header returns 0 when all out parameters have
been set.

In addition to SI 2 and SI 5, the SI 2ter and 2bis is generated, if
neighbour cells in other bands exist. Also it is indicated in the rest
octets of SI3, that SI 2ter is used. If no neighbour cell in a different
band exists, the SI 2ter and SI 5ter is omitted.
A special case is P-GSM range (channels 1-124). To be compatible with
older phones, SI 2bis and SI 5bis is used. If the BCCH lays inside the
P-GSM band, only neighbour cells of the P-GSM range are included in
SI 2 and SI 5. If neighbour cells exist in the same band (900), but lay
outside the P-GSM range, the SI 2bis and SI 5bis is used to extend the
list of neighbour cells. The extension is also indicated in SI 2 and
SI 5. If the BCCH lays inside the P-GSM range, but no neighbour cell
exists in the same band outside the P-GSM range, the SI 2bis ans SI 5bis
are omitted.
strstr() was used with wrong argument order, causing it to always match,
and causing an invalid response to a variety of different SS and USSD

This has apparently caused havoc among a number of HTC phones which
issue SS requests without user interaction upon boot, and then trip over
our inappropriate response.
This must have been obsoleted by the move to libosmo-abis.

I'm sure I read somewhere that it actually was 0..1024, as I kept

When we get an assignment command from the MSC, we no longer have to
check statically for certain codecs, as we have a vty-configured list of
codecs that is checked just below.
This allows the use of the existing "call-agent ip A.B.C.D" command in
libmgcp in order to set a default destination address of the call agent.
This is required as a pre-condition for certain call agents (like the
zynetix MSC) that require a RSIP from the BSC to the MSC as the initial
MGCP message.
RR Messages like STATUS, GPRS SUSPEND, HANDOVER COMPLETE/FAIL, ...
should be processed on the BSC side of things, not on the MSC side.
This is among other things required in preparation of intra-BSC
hand-over support in osmo-bsc.
Introduce number rewriting of SMS-SUBMIT. Introduce a new list,
move code around to help with finding a new number, somehow the

field into account.
In case of a reset (loss of the BTS) close down all remaining

Increase the version number and send the sizeof of the gsm_mncc
and the gsm_data_frame structure. Include the offsets of some
members as well to maybe identify ABI problems.
The reason we go through this is that we want to benefit from
the native ABI and don't want to force packed structs.
In case of a memory allocation failure in rsl_rx_chan_rqd we would
have left the channel in the LCHAN_S_ACT_REQ state. Move the state
change below the allocation.
In case a BTS does not send the RF Channel Release ACK and we are
closing the channel because of an error two timers are running to
set the state back to none.
Make lchan_deact_tmr_cb and rsl_rx_rf_chan_rel_ack behave the same
in regard to changing the state of the lchan. For the other direction
we are save, the error path will set the state to NONE and the timeout
will call lchan_free to set the channel type back to NONE, only then
the lchan may be allocated again.
The channel release procedure requires some more tweaking, some part
was started in the zecke/28c3 branch and needs to be tested/integrated
with the goal of having one common release path.
In case of a failed channel we still want the channel to not be
re-allocated right away but keep it closed/unused for (T3109 + T311).
rsl_rx_rf_chan_rel_ack has a check to not set the channel to S_NONE in
case the channel is in the error state. Add the camp Harald added a timer
to set the channel back to the none state in case the RF Channel Release
is not acked.
This reverts commit fc462dd59e.
show lchan should be capable of showing all allocated lchans,
all of a given bts, a given trx, a given ts. This feature was

and then call and return the subroutine.

GSM 04.64 8.4.2 asks to ignore UI frames if the DLCI is not known,
or if the "(V(UR)- 32) <= N(U) < V(UR)". E.g. if we want to have
V(UR) == 511 and this frame is dropped, we would ignore N(U)'s
0 to 510. Calculate the delta.
The code is based on Jonathan Santos's "LLC UI window" fix but the
issue was discovered independly.
The osmo-nitb application sometimes crashes because the BSC API
is doing an assignment underneath which is not handled by the code,
add dumy handlers to not crash, the right thing to do is to change
MNCC to have an assignment that can succeed/fail.
The keyword to look for is MNCC_LCHAN_MODIFY and mncc_sock should
wait for an ack/nack but right now the call just continues.
The UTC offset from the operating system will be used by default to
calculate the NITZ in MM INFO. However, a "timezone" vty command is
added at the BTS level, allowing BTS-specific overrides, e.g. in case
BTSs are distributed accross multiple timezones.
The BSS-side of BSSGP requires quite a number of additional functions
for sending unidirectional messages that a SGSN never sends.
This is a first step into completing the BSSGP implementation and making
it ready to be used from osmo-bts and other BTS-side GPRS
implementations.
Send a hello packet down to the client with the version number
of the MNCC interface. The hello structure might be extended to
include the endianes, size of each structure, etc.
In this iteration I just want to make sure that each VTY command has
online help. Replace "a b" with "a-b" if there is no "a c" with b!=c.
This config should gain some more sanity and consistency, this will
happen in another iteration.
Also make sure to specify seconds in the 'seconds' field. Doing
otherwise is an abuse that non longer works with the new timer infra.

In case a MS (of which we have no MM context) sends us anything but a
GMM ATTACH REQUEST, we need to send it a LLC XID RESET (by means of
issuing LLGMM-RESET.req). Otherwise the phone will expect us to send a
specific unacknowledged sequence number that we don't know.
Thanks to Holger for pointing this bug out to me.
It seems to commonly occur when a MS is doing network re-selection and
(erroneously) sends a RA UPD REQ instead of an ATTACH REQ. The RA UPD
REJ that we sent was never seen by the GMM entity in the MS, as the LLC
entity discarded it due to sequence number mis-match.
Using LLGMM-RESET.req, the GMM can request the LLC of the MS to reset
all its parameters, particularly the sequence numbers. We don't yet do
XID RESET retransmissions, and we don't yet generate a LLGMM-RESET.conf
primitive back to GMM.
Ubuntu 11.10 has changed some linker/compiler flags. Some fixes for this
can be seen here[1]. In general the to be linked libs need to be moved into
the LDADD section of parameters. This is with the old BFD linker (not gold).
This is likely to end in some ping-pong with other versions of the linker.

The libosmo-abis merge broke Ericsson RBS support, as it didn't get the
part right where the per-TRX OML sign_link is determined while
transmitting OM2000 messages.
As a result of this fix, we can remove the 'to_trx_oml' parameter to
_abis_nm_sendmsg(), which is a nice cleanup.
In order to have the MNCC application reliably decide on the codec type,
it needs to know if we are running on a TCH/F or TCH/H. Thus, we pass
lchan_mode as a new parameter to the 'struct gsm_mncc'
When gsm48_send_rr_ass_cmd() is being called to send the ASSIGNMENT
COMMAND, we need to use the propwer lchan->ms_power setting, not
some fixed magic "0x3" number.
Without this patch, every MS would transmit at a very high output power
fullowing an assignment command - more than what was set in the config
file with "ms max power"
In case of a nack the secondary_lchan will be NULLed but then the T10
timeout will attempt to release the channel and we will try to release
a NULL pointer.
Daniel witnessed this crash at the camp and added the NULL check at:
28d9ccbca0, it is also the proper fix
given the _NAK handling.
When we got a clear request we did not clear the internal
association between the gsm_subscriber_connection and the SCCP
part. When we got a DTAP message before the CLEAR COMMAND we
will end up in a crash as the ->bts pointer of the connection
has been cleared.

Remove the separation of half-rate and full-rate AMR. The used rate
can be found inside the AMR payload. The signalling of what kind of
traffic channel is used can be done with the GSM 08.08 Chosen
Channel IE in the Assignment Complete message.
This way I can use a fixed payload type in the MGCP GateWay but
have a mixed TCH/F and TCH/H config. E.g. use TCH/F FR3 for some
subscribers when connected to MSC A but use AMR5.9 on a TCH/F for
MSC B when all TCH/Hs are gone.

Change the code to extract the CallID, Mode and the optional

The SDP file for FreeSWITCH should contain o= (Origin) and the
t= (Timing) for the session. The data of the Origin should be
globally unique but this is not the case yet. We will need to
store the (NTP) time of the creation of the endpoint.
Move the regexp parsing code from the NAT to libcommon as it will
be used by the NAT and BSC code. This also adds the #include <regex.h>

This is a big patch that ports openBSC over libosmo-abis.
Sorry, the changes that are included here are all dependent
of libosmo-abis, splitting them into smaller pieces would
leave the repository in some intermediate state, which is
not desired.
The main changes are:
- The directory libabis/ has been removed as it now lives in
libosmo-abis.
- new configuration file format for nanoBTS and HSL femto, we
need to define the virtual e1_line and attach it to the OML
link.
- all the existing BTS drivers (nanoBTS, hsl femto, Nokia site,
BS11 and rbs2000) now use the new libosmo-abis framework.
- use r232 input driver available in libosmo-abis for bs11_config.
- use ipa_msg_recv instead of old ipaccess_read_msg function.
- delete definition of gsm_e1_subslot and input_signal_data.
These structures now lives in libosmo-abis.
Most of this patch are deletions of libabis/ which has been
moved to libosmo-abis.
This patch also modifies openBSC to use all the new definitions
available in libosmocore and libosmo-abis. In order to do that,
we have replaced the following:
- DINP, DMI, DMIB and DMUX by their respective DL* correspondences.
- SS_GLOBAL by SS_L_GLOBAL
- SS_INPUT by SS_L_INPUT
- S_GLOBAL_SHUTDOWN by S_L_GLOBAL_SHUTDOWN
- SS_INPUT by SS_L_INPUT
- S_INP_* by S_L_INP_* sub-signals
- E1INP_NODE by L_E1INP_NODE vty node
This patch has been tested with:
- one nanoBTS
- the HSL femto with the examples available under libosmo-abis
- BS11 with both dahdi and misdn drivers.
This patch modifies openBSC code to use msg->dst which stores the
pointer to the signalling link structure instead of the pointer to
the transceiver structure.
This patch prepares the introduction of libosmo-abis.
It is possible that MNCC sends a MNCC_LCHAN_MODIFY and
wants a channel mode that is not possible on the current
lchan, in that case a new channel is assigned. We now crash
as the osmo-nitb is not having an assignment complete handler,
add a NULL check.
The Nokia metrosite BTS seem to keep the channels open indefinitely.
If osmo-nitb is restarted while one of the channel was still active
and tries to activate that channel again the bts would return a
CHANNEL ACTIVATE NACK with "Radio channel already activated". This
accumulated over the restarts so soon enough no more channels were
available.
This patch sends a release request to the bts so the channel
becomes available again.
The function lchan_alloc only considers lchans to be available if both
the type and state are NONE. So change show lchan to list all lchans
that are not considered available.
This will cause the remote end to read 0 bytes, which is interpreted as
if we cleanly closed the socket, making the remote end close their side
of the socket, which would lead to us closing our side of the socket,
so we should never send such a packet.
The timer callback will simply reset the lchan state to NONE in order
to prevent channels getting stuck in 'activation requested' or
'deactivation requested' states.
During the GSM deployment in the CCC Camp, Daniel Willmann
noticed that the LCR and the MNCC were closing the local
connection over unix sockets communication quite so often.
After some debugging, Peter Stuge noticed that openBSC was
closing the connection since write was returning 0.
Then, I suggested that it could be a malformed message with
zero length. By skipping empty messages, Peter confirmed that
the connection between the LCR and the MNCC was not closing
anymore. However, there was no voice in the calls that went
over MNCC.
After some more debugging I found that we were not building
GSM_TCHF_FRAME over MNCC appropriately in the TRAU multiplexer
code, since we forgot to msgb_put() the message.
Scenario: BTS are configured and working, then the BSC stops working
for some reason (crash or administrative stop).
If the BSC comes back to life, LAPD among other things does not know
about the previous existing TEIs. Instead of ignoring these frames,
we notify the driver that we are seeing frames with unknown TEIs, so
it can try to recover, e.g. by resending the SABM message.

There are still lots of other cleanups pending, but this one is
a purely cosmetic one.
DAHDI creates one device node for every E1 timeslot, starting from '1',
and keeps incrementing that number even for additional ports/cards.
Thus, we have to use the e1inp_line number multiplied by 31 as a base.
The byte ordering is a bit odd: The least significant byte is ahead of
the most significant byte, different from everything else in GSM that
seems to be big-endian.
Thanks to Seungju Kim <admin@manateeshome.com> for repoerting the bug.
This fixes a bug introduced more than one year ago in commit
e38bd6caa34005816a9336f021fd17d328d5c901:
The RSL_IE_CHAN_IDENT is a TLV, but the GSM48_IE_CHANDESC_2 contained in
it, is a mere TV type IE with fixed length.
The problem specifically has caused problems on Nokia MetroSite BTS,
which apparently read the TSC out of this Layer3 IE.
The MS Radio Access Capability IE can be _very_ long in some recent
high-end mobile phones, way beyond the old 14-byte limit. We increase
our array to 52 bytes, and make sure not to overflow that buffer.
It was possible to set the LAC=0 on a subscriber that just has
done a LU because it did not respond to a paging request.
E.g. when a phone is rebooting, a SMS being delivered, the phone
is doing the LU, sub_ready_for_sm will try to send a SMS (but the
phone is not ready yet and it will timeout), then the paging code will
send us an expiration note and we might set the LAC=0 for this
subscriber.
Ideally we would be able to stop the paging request once the subscriber
is authenticated and then hand this to the SMS layer, right now the
best thing to do is to detect that we will run into this problem and
not send the SMS, not try to set the LAC=0.
