OsmoBTS Abis Protocol Specification
===================================
Neels Hofmeyr <nhofmeyr@sysmocom.de>
== Introduction
This document describes the A-bis interface of *OsmoBTS*. Based on 3GPP TS
12.21 and 08.58, this document indicates which of the 3GPP specified A-bis
messages and IEs are implemented according to 3GPP specifications, which of
these are not or not fully implemented, as well as OsmoBTS-specific extensions
to the A-bis interface not specified by 3GPP.
Extensions to the A-bis interface specific to OsmoBTS are detailed in this
2016-05-25 13:01:11 +00:00
document. For details on the messages and IEs that comply with above mentioned
3GPP specifications, please refer to those documents.

== Overview
The OsmoBTS A-bis interface consists of traffic management messages (RSL, Radio
Signalling Link) and network management messages (OML, Operation & Maintenance
Link), encapsulated in an IPA multiplex.
OML and RSL each use a separate TCP connection.

|===
|TCP Port Number|Usage
|3002|A-bis OML (inside IPA multiplex)
|3003|A-bis RSL (inside IPA multiplex)
|===
Both TCP connections for OML and RSL are established in the BTS -> BSC
direction, i.e. the BTS is running as a TCP client, while the BSC is
running as a TCP server.
The BTS first establishes the TCP connection for OML. Via OML, the BSC
instructs the BTS to which IP address the RSL connection shall be
established.

=== Identities
The BTS is locally configured (via administrative means, out of band of
this specification) to have a Unit ID. The Unit ID consists of three
parts:
* The Site Number
* The BTS number at the site
* The TRX number within the BTS
