About OsmoMSC
|
||||
=============
|
||||
|
||||
OsmoMSC is an implementation of the 3GPP MSC (Mobile Switching Centre)
|
||||
network element. It implements the following core functionality within
|
||||
the 2G (GSM) and 3G (UMTS) networks:
|
||||
|
||||
* mobility management
|
||||
* call control (either via built-in MNCC handler or external osmo-sip-connector)
|
||||
* USSD (exposed via GSUP)
|
||||
* SMS (either via built-in SMSC or external via GSUP)
|
||||
|
||||
Historically, OsmoMSC originated from the OpenBSC project, which started
|
||||
as a minimalistic all-in-one implementation of the GSM Network. In 2017,
|
||||
OpenBSC had reached maturity and diversity (including M3UA SIGTRAN and
|
||||
3G support in the form of IuCS and IuPS interfaces) that naturally lead
|
||||
to a separation of the all-in-one approach to fully independent separate
|
||||
programs as in typical GSM networks.
|
||||
|
||||
OsmoMSC was one of the parts split off from the old openbsc.git. Before,
|
||||
it was the libmsc part of the old OsmoNITB. Since a true A interface and
|
||||
IuCS for 3G support is available, OsmoMSC exists only as a separate
|
||||
standalone entity.
|
||||
|
||||
OsmoMSC exposes
|
||||
- GSUP towards OsmoHLR (or a MAP proxy);
|
||||
- A over IP towards a BSC (e.g. OsmoBSC);
|
||||
- IuCS towards an RNC or HNB-GW (e.g. OsmoHNBGW) for 3G voice;
|
||||
- MNCC (Mobile Network Call Control derived from GSM TS 04.07);
|
||||
- SMPP 3.4 (Short Message Peer-to-Peer);
|
||||
- The Osmocom typical telnet VTY and CTRL interfaces.

osmo-msc - Osmocom MSC Implementation
|
||||
=====================================
|
||||
|
||||
This repository contains a C-language implementation of a GSM Mobile Switching
|
||||
Centre (MSC) for 2G (GSM) and 3G (UMTS). It is part of the
|
||||
[Osmocom](https://osmocom.org/) Open Source Mobile Communications
|
||||
project.
|
||||
|
||||
OsmoMSC exposes
|
||||
* A over IP towards BSCs (e.g. OsmoBSC): 3GPP AoIP or SCCPlite
|
||||
* IuCS over IP towards RNCs / HNBGW (e.g. osmo-hnbgw)
|
||||
* The Osmocom typical telnet VTY and CTRL interfaces.
|
||||
* The Osmocom typical statsd exporter.
|
||||
|
||||
OsmoMSC implements
|
||||
* mobility management
|
||||
* call control (either via built-in MNCC handler or external osmo-sip-connector)
|
||||
* USSD (exposed via GSUP)
|
||||
* SMS (either via built-in SMSC or external via GSUP)
