We now bring the GPRS related MO up in DEPENDENCY state and parse the various NS, BSSGP and RLC parameters as set by the BSC via 12.21/OML. |

Repository for new the Osmocom BTS implementation. This code implementes the Layer 2 and higher of a more or less conventional GSM BTS (Base Transceiver Station) - however, using an Abis/IP interface, rather than the old-fashioned E1/T1. Specificallt, this includes * BTS-Side implementation of TS 08.58 (RSL) and TS 12.21 (OML) * BTS-Side implementation of LAPDm (using libosmocore/libosmogsm) * A somewhat separated interface between those higher layer parts and the Layer1 interface. Right now, only one hardware and Layer1 are supported: The sysmocom sysmoBTS. There is some experimental and way incomplete code to use a couple of OsmocomBB phones and run them in the BTS. However, the required code for the Calypso DSP code have not been written yet. This would still require a lot of work. Some additional work is being done in using some parts of the OpenBTS L1FEC and glue it against omso-bts. However, this is also still in an early, experimental stage. == Known Limitations == As of June 3, 2012, the following known limitations exist in this implementation: === Common Core === * No Extended BCCH support * System Information limited to 1,2,2bis,2ter,2quater,3,4,5,6,9,13 * No RATSCCH in AMR * No OML (TS 12.21) alarms yet (temperature, ...) * Only single-TRX BTS at this point * Will reject TS 12.21 STARTING TIME in SET BTS ATTR / SET CHAN ATTR * No support for frequency hopping * No reporting of interference levels as part of TS 08.58 RF RES IND * No error reporting in case PAGING COMMAND fails due to queue overflow * No hand-over support (planned) * No use of TS 08.58 BS Power and MS Power parameters * No support of TS 08.58 MultiRate Control * No support of TS 08.58 Supported Codec Types * No support of Bter frame / ENHANCED MEASUREMENT REPORT === osmo-bts-sysmo === * No CSD / ECSD support (not planned) * No GPRS/EDGE support (planned) * GSM-R frequency band supported, but no NCH/ASCI/SoLSA * All timeslots on one TRX have to use same training sequence (TSC) * No multi-TRX support yet, though hardware+L1 support stacking * Makes no use of 12.21 Intave Parameters and Interference Level Boundaries * Makes no use of TS 12.21 T3105 * Doesn't yet include MAC address in Abis/IP Identity message
