osmo-iuh - Osmocom Iuh and HNB-GW implementation
================================================
This repository contains a C-language implementation of the 3GPP Iuh
interface, together with a HNB-GW (Home NodeB Gateway). You can use it
to interface Iuh-speaking femtocells/small cells to Iu-speaking MSCs and
SGSNs.
It is part of the [Osmocom](https://osmocom.org/) Open Source Mobile
Communications project.
Homepage
--------
The official homepage of the project is
https://osmocom.org/projects/osmohnbgw/wiki
GIT Repository
--------------
You can clone from the official libosmocore.git repository using
git clone git://git.osmocom.org/osmo-iuh.git
There is a cgit interface at http://git.osmocom.org/osmo-iuh/
Documentation
-------------
There is currently no documentation beyond the wiki available on the
homepage. We would love to see somebody contributing a manual that can
be part of the osmo-gsm-manuals suite.

Building
--------
It is generally best to check the wiki for the most up-to-date build
instructions.
As external library dependencies, you will need
* libosmocore from git://git.osmocom.org/libosmocore
* libasn1c from git://git.osmocom.org/libasn1c
* libsctp-dev (this is the package name in Debian)
* libosmo-netif from git://git.osmocom.org/libosmo-netif (sysmocom/sctp branch)
* libosmo-sccp from git://git.osmocom.org/libosmo-sccp (sysmocom/iu branch)
To bootstrap the build, in the root directory, run:
autoreconf --install
After that, run the usual
./configure [options]
make
[sudo] make install
Using
-----
Note: osmo-iuh just left very active development (December 2015, January
2016), so your mileage may vary.
If you run the 'hnbgw' executable, it will open a listening SCTP socket
and wait for incoming Iuh connections. It will accept any
HNB-REGISTER-REQUEST, and it will establish Iu (over SUA) connections
towards the MSC and SGSN.
Regenerating C code from ASN.1 source
-------------------------------------
In order to re-generate the C source code from the ASN.1 source,
you will need a modified asn1c which has the following features:
* APER support (the patch from Eurecom, or its forward-ported version
from the aper branch of git://git.osmocom.org/asn1c)
* Support for prefixing the generated types (aper-prefix branch of
git://git.osmocom.org/asn1c)
* Then in osmo-iuh.git: make -C src/ regen
