The code predates the TLV parser and we were parsing the RLM from the
wrong offset. In general we were using the length of the TLV which
happened to be equal to the T200 indication.
After consulting the RLM cuases not every of them should generate a
BSC_RLLR_IND_ERR_IND as these are forwarded to the MSC as a SAPI reject
right now.
TLV parsing now generates this due a bug in the osmo-bts code:
abis_rsl.c:1605 (bts=0,trx=0,ts=2,ss=0) SAPI=0 <0000> abis_rsl.c:1547 (bts=0,trx=0,ts=2,ss=0) ERROR INDICATION cause=Fraeme not implemented
In case of handover (but probably on RACH) we would send a RLL for
SAPI=0 even if this SAPI was never established. After we have released
all SAPI>0 locally check that SAPI=0 is established and if not release
the rf channel directly.
T3109 is started when the SACCH is deactivated. It is stopped when
the phones sends the DISC/UA/UM on LAPDm for the main signalling
link. In case of timeout the abnormal release procedure will be
initiated. Make sure to not issue the SACCH Deactivate twice to
avoid confusing the equipment.
This is still not fully spec compliant. In case of a timeout the
abnormal release handling will be started which involves starting
T3111+2. The error handling should be split out of the rf channel
release method, e.g. lchan_release should be called and check if
the channel release was already initiated.
If the CHAN ACTIV is NACKED we set the state backto NONE. This is
problematic as our channel allocator will allocate from the front
or from the back and if the channel is early in the list it might
cause permanent failures. Introduce a BROKEN state and use it when
the channel activation is failing for an unknown reason. Copy the
cause so it can be inspected later.
Deactivate the SACCH and release all SAPIs locally as of GSM 04.08. Add
documentation to the code and explain what will happen as part of the
release process.
* Release all channels with SAPI > 0 with the "local end release"
(as of NOTE 1 of GSM 04.08).
* No need to wait for all SAPIs to be torn down and the normal
REL_IND/REL_CONF will call rsl_handle_release and the channel
should be released.
* Update the documentation
Put the idiom that sets the lchan state to none and respecting the
error state into a shared method. This way the special handling for
the abnormal case is just in one place.
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)
The old BSC code had code to override the payload type, this has
been removed, remove the variable accessing it.
GCC warning:
abis_rsl.c: In function ‘ipa_rtp_pt_for_lchan’:
abis_rsl.c:1590:22: warning: unused variable ‘net’ [-Wunused-variable]
Introduce a SS_CCCH for the paging and the rach load. The paging
code could now start using the signal.
GCC warning:
abis_rsl.c: In function ‘rsl_rx_ccch_load’:
abis_rsl.c:1371:11: warning: variable ‘rach_access_count’ set but not used [-Wunused-but-set-variable]

abis_rsl.c:1369:11: warning: variable ‘rach_slot_count’ set but not used [-Wunused-but-set-variable]
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.
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.
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.
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 timer callback will simply reset the lchan state to NONE in order
to prevent channels getting stuck in 'activation requested' or
'deactivation requested' states.
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.
libosmogsm is a new library that is distributed in the libosmocore.
Now, openbsc depends on it. This patch gets openbsc with this
change.
This patch also rewrites all include path to the new
osmocom/[gsm|core]

It seems HSL has fixed most of their obvious issues in the SR1.0.1
release. However, this creates quite an incompatibility of the
protocol, and we have to adapt accordingly
The HSL Femtocell seems to be a poor man implementation of the
ip.access Abis/IP protocol, but cutting corners wherever possible.
We try to workaround those corners wherever possible...
