The LAC can be 16bit of size. the generation of the LAI, struct
gsm_subsriber and the BSC<->MSC was already using it as a
16bit (short) value.
Change struct gsm_bts to parse 16bit and change the vty configuration
parsing code to deal with a short too.
Add one method to extract the MI which will allow to load
the gsm_subscriber depending on the MSC/BSC setup and then
use gsm48_handle_paging_resp to finish the paging response
handling.
Transfering the cell_identity from BSC to MSC is required for the
on-waves.com support. Allow to set the cell_identity in the cfg
file and patch the system information tables to set it.
tmsi is four octets long, there is no need to make it a string
and then jump through hoops to convert it to a number. Keep the database
using it as a string to benefit from the NULL handling of the db.
Introduce the reserved tmsi which has all bits set to 1 according
to GSM 03.03 §2.4 and start checking for it and make sure the db
code will never allocate such a tmsi.
This just adds the 04.08 and RSL bits for A5, but not the logic
for performing authentication.
The caller would first set lchan->encr and then call
gsm48_send_rr_ciph_mode(lchan), which encapsulates the 04.08
CIPHERING MODE COMMAND into a RSL ENCRYPTION COMMAND and sends it
to the BTS for execution + forwarding.
Prefix generate_mid_from_tmsi with a gsm48_, create a new method
to binary encode the imsi. Add a unit test for parsing and decoding.
The implementation can parse the data it generated and the
last octet seems to be filled with the end mark.
The existing gsm_04_08.c implementation is mixing BSC and MSC
behavior. Move some simple parsing and generation functions over
to gsm_04_08_utils.c to allow a different MSC to define the policy.
this enables the caller to detect if the paging request was rejected
by the paging layer, especially in case it is already paging this very
subscriber.
In the case of SMS / 04.11, we used to have a memory leak of struct gsm_sms's,
since we would only free them from the paging succeeded/expired callbacks.
SMS related messages are all sent over SAPI=3. But in addition
to that, we also need to send it over the correct link identifier,
i.e. SACCH or main signalling channel
The channel allocator can be set in ascending or descending order.
Ascnending means we first try to allocate channels on TRX0, then TRX1, etc.
Descending means we first try to allocate cahnnels on TRXn, then n-1 down to 0.
SM's need to be transferred over their own RLL connection on SAPI3, rather than
the default SAPI0 connection that we're using for signalling like 04.08
RR/MM/CC.
This is not that much of a problem in the case of SMS SUBMIT from the MS to
the netwrok. In that case, the MS will start its primary RLL connection
with SAPI3, and we can just respond with SAPI3.
However, in the case of SMS DELIVER to a MS, we first page the MS, it then
establishes SAPI0. We then need to explicitly request the establishment of
a SAPI3 RLL connection, before we can send CP-DATA with our RP-DATA and DELIVER
RPDU
Now that we have the bsc_rll.c code, we can actually wait for a paging
response, and from the paging response request the establishment of the SAPI3
connection. We will be called back once that connection is open and can
successively start transmission of the SM.
A caller can call rll_establish(lchan, link_id) and a callback to the GSM RLL
code. He will get called back if the RLL link is established or receives some
error message, or the establishment times out.
We need this for proper SMS implementation, where we need to restablish a SAPI3
RLL link before transmitting the actual CP-DATA messages.
we now have the full path from the MS into the database (SUBMIT), as well as
back from the database to the MS (DELIVER). The database gets correctly
updated once a SMS has been successfully delivered.
What's still missing is the periodic scan over all undelivered messages,
trying to deliver them to the respective MS. So far, you have to manually
trigger this on the telnet interface with 'sms send pending 1'
So far, we immediately disable the RF channel without following a proper
RLL RELEASE procedure. This patch changes this.
If we locally terminate the connection, the channel allocator now triggers a
RLL RELEASE REQuest, which is responsed by the MS with a RLL RELEASE CONFirm,
based on which we send the RF CHANnel RELease to the BTS.
If the MS terminates the connection, we receive a RLL RELEASE INDication,
based on which we trigger RF CHANnel RELease to the BTS.
This helps us to detect the frequency error of BS-11 if it is located
next to the nanoBTS 900.
If 'ipaccess-config -l' is called, it will produce a report like
<0020> ipaccess-config.c:85 TEST REPORT: test_no=0x42 test_res=0
<0020> ipaccess-config.c:108 ==> ARFCN 220, Frequency Error 22
<0020> ipaccess-config.c:108 ==> ARFCN 1, Frequency Error -37
<0020> ipaccess-config.c:108 ==> ARFCN 10, Frequency Error 0
<0020> ipaccess-config.c:108 ==> ARFCN 20, Frequency Error 11
<0020> ipaccess-config.c:108 ==> ARFCN 53, Frequency Error 5
<0020> ipaccess-config.c:108 ==> ARFCN 63, Frequency Error -4
<0020> ipaccess-config.c:108 ==> ARFCN 84, Frequency Error 11
<0020> ipaccess-config.c:108 ==> ARFCN 101, Frequency Error 0
<0020> ipaccess-config.c:108 ==> ARFCN 123, Frequency Error -52
where in this case the ARFCN 123 is the BS-11 with a frequency error
larger than all the other (regular) BTS in the vicinity.
* we only need one piece of code to calculate rsl_ie_chan_mode from
our run-time data structures (gsm_lchan)
* add some more channel modes for TCH/H and data
* use enum's to make the compiler warn us about unhandled enum values
* make sure the caller determines the (signalling,speech,data) mode
Up until now, we only supported direct RTP streams between ip.access BTS.
With this commit, the user can specify '-P' to the command line to enable
a RTP/RTCP proxy inside OpenBSC. The nanoBTS will then send all their voice
data to OpenBSC, which will relay it to the respective destination BTS (which
can be the same BTS).
The default behaviour remains unchanged. Without '-P' on the command line,
RTP/RTCP is exchanged directly.
The rtp_proxy.[ch] code is intended to be used as a transparent
RTP/RTCP proxy, relaying the media streams from one ip.access BTS
to another. In an 'ideal' network, this is obviously not needed,
since the BTS's can send those streams directly between each other.
However, for debugging, 'lawful interception', transcoding or interfacing
a TRAU/E1 based BTS, we actually need to process those RTP streams
ourselves.
There were many places in the code where we had to explicitly
reference the transaction_id and put it into a packet. By introducing
and optional gsm_trans parameter to gsm48_sendmsg(), we can implement
this code once rather than dozens of time.
since a subscriber is an element of the gsm_network, we have to ensure
subscr->net is always set correctly. We do this by using gsm_network
as an argument to all functions that resolve or create a subscriber.
Since a transaction is associated to a gsm_subscriber, and the subsciber
is part of a network, we don't need to have a dedicated transaction->network
pointer.
This changeset factors out gsm_transaction as something independent
of call control in preparation to re-use the code from SMS. A
transaction is uniquely identified by either its callref, or by
a tuple of (transaction_id, protocol, subscriber).

Currently we send the attribute changes in a send and forget
fashion. But sometimes the nanoBTS is sending us a NACK, e.g
with a invalid unit id. Start handling the NACK and provide
an error message to the user. The error message is not yet
describing the cause of the error but this is a slight progress
to the previous silent failure.
For further evaluation/analysis, this patch stores the classmark 1, 2 and 3
values of every equipment in the SQL database. We can use this non-volatile
data to determine the supported features for each handset that we've ever
seen on our network.
* describe data structures in gsm_04_11.h
* increae LCHAN RELEASE TIMEOUT for case of long SMS
* convert header field in sql table from NUMERIC to BLOB
* initial handling for validity period
* send RP ERROR messages with meaningful RP CAUSE in case of error
