The idea that MCC and MNC is enough to classify a subscriber
turns out to be wrong. Certain operatos license a number range
of IMSIs to others. When we see a '^' in the MCC field we treat
it as a regexp. The code now turns the MCC/MNC into a regexp
for the IMSI. It is not using extended POSIX regexp to match
the behavior of the access list.
This should not introduce any functional changes, it just re-arranges
some definitions in the header file, and introduces the ROLE_BSC
define that we enable for the BSC-specific fields.
The daemons set up nanoBTS and HSL femto sockets by default, ie. the
three sockets to support these two drivers are open even if we have
no BTS of that kind.
This patch enables on-demand socket creation, ie. we only enable them
if we have one BTS at least that requires it.
I added two new attributes to the gsm_bts object, they are:
* the start() function includes the code that we need to run to start
the BTS. This new function contains the socket creation in the
particular case of nanoBTS and HSL femto.
* the started boolean, which is used to know if we have already
started the BTS, ie. we have already invoked start().
Note that, I have splitted the bts_model_*_init() function into two
functions, the _init() functions that register the BTS driver
and the _start() functions that start BTS driver on-demand.
While I was at it, I added several changes/cleanups to this patch:
* Group all bts_model_*_init() calls into one function bts_init(),
which is called in the initialization path of osmo-nitb and
osmo-bsc.
* Add openbsc/bss.h that contains the declaration of
bsc_bootstrap_network, bsc_shutdown_net and bts_init.
* Add missing e1inp_init() in osmo-bsc.
* Fix missing declaration of hsl_setup in openbsc/e1_input.h
Introduce a paging group that a BSC can refer to and is used
during the LAC lookup. This way paging can be flooded through
the network and just filtered at the last element in the core.
The current code tries to find _one_ bsc for a paging message
and then continues. The new code will try to find multiple BSCs
for each LAC. This is done in preparation of having two BSCs
handle the same LAC. This code right now is O(m*n) but it will
be worse once paging groups are landed.
The code to test the function was reduced to just test the lac
lookup code as the other part can not be tested in a standalone
setup anymore.
The code to create the struct gsm_bts is in libcommon right now
and we can not call paging_init from there. Right now it appears
to be the easiest of doing the init internally.
Be able to configure a list of destinations (duplicates allowed)
that will be tried in a round robin fashion. The change is in
the bsc_msc_connection to operate on a list. We achieve the
round robin nature with the same trick used in the paging code
to delete and append the current entry. The nat code was updated
to compile but one can only configure one destination.
For restarting the NAT we can now block it, it will not accept
new connections and for existing connections it will attempt
to drop them over time. A blocked NAT will end up with no BSC
connections left and then can be safely restarted.
Keep track of the used transaction identifier and always forward
messages to the USSD provider. E.g. this can be used to have a
dialogue going. Right now it is still possible that the MSC will
close down the connection.
* include/openbsc/ipaccess.h: Reserve a protocol number for control
commands
* input/ipaccess.c: New function ipaccess_prepend_header_ext prepends
the extension header
This patch finishes the new ipaccess_send_*() functions and use them
in the ipaccess-proxy code.
I have also cleanup the definition of the PONG, ID_ACK and ID_REQ
messages (including some minor documentation about them).
I had to rename ipaccess_recvmsg() in ipaccess-proxy to avoid clashing
with the one defined in libabis.
For the USSD module we only want to handle requests that are
legitimate. This is achieved by looking for the CM Service Accept
or the BSSAP CIPHER MODE COMMAND.
This patch extends the make_sock() prototype so you can fully set
the fields priv_nr and data of the bsc_fd structure.
This is the first step to get rid of the internal make_sock()
implementation that ipaccess-proxy uses.
This patch includes a minor cleanup to pass INADDR_ANY instead
of zero, if you do not want to bind the socket to one specific
address.
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]

This change is required to finish the integration of the VTY and
the per-application logging categories that provides:
"vty: integration with logging framework"
in libosmocore.
It has been tested with osmo-nitb. The other just compiled tested.
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...
