Instead of continuing to add more and more functionality to the
bsc_hack binary, we should have the new SGSN code run as a separate
executable.
After this commit we now build a 'osmo_sgsn' executable, using its
own osmo_sgsn.cfg config file.
However, the SGSN is not yet functional, mainly due to the fact that
the BSSGP and GMM code are written with the assumption that there
is a msgb->trx->bts and the according 'sturct gsm_bts' data model
around - which clearly is no longer the case outside of bsc_hack.
The ida of the Gb proxy is to aggregate Gb links with a number of BSS
and then present all the BSSGP-VC's together inside one NS-VC to the
actual SGSN.
The code is not yet expected to be complete.
Currently vty_interface.c is used for the BSC config, in case of
the MGCP Gateway or the BSC Nat process these logging commands are
not available. Move the commands to a new vty_interface_cmds.c file
to allow to share basic commands across different programs.
The 08.08 API will interface with the internal BSC code and it is
the boundary between MSC and BSC. So nothing that calls the BSC
functionality should know about lchan or such.
This change separates the protocol from the actual network code
(bind, forward data). This will allow to more easily hook up the
RTP code from OpenBSC and to not use local sockets at all.
In separation of using the MGCP parsing in another context, refactor
the code to operate on a struct mgcp_config, split out the vty code
from the mgcp_protocol.c, and move the callbacks into the mgcp code.
There should be no functional changes.
* use pkg-config from openbsc to find header and library
* move sms and timer tests to libosmocore itself
* ensure "make distcheck" works on both packages
This library is intended to collect all generic/common funcitionality
of all Osmocom.org projects, including OpenBSC but also OsmocomBB
The library currently includes the following modules:
bitvec, comp128, gsm_utils, msgb, select, signal, statistics, talloc, timer,
tlv_parse, linuxlist
msgb allocation error debugging had to be temporarily disabled as it depends on
'debug.c' functionality which at the moment remains in OpenBSC
The msgb class is using the debug framework and needs to be able
to output data. We would need a way to add custom areas or to have
the struct of areas outside of the default debug.c... but this can
happen at a later point.
* Separate main process and protocol handling into two parts.
* Change the protocol handling to work with UDP and TCP connection
* This will allow to speak MGCP over TCP between the BSC MUX and
the real BSC.
The way the VTY configuration sytem works is that it first registers a
BTS of type GSM_BTS_TYPE_UNKNOWN and then sets the type correctly (after
encountering the type statement). This makes sure that registering a BTS
of type UNKNOWN succeeds.
Some NM attributes are defined differently depending on
the BTS type. Having one big nm_att_tlvdef[] table for
all BTS types is no longer sufficient. This patch
* introduces 'struct gsm_bts_model' to describe a BTS model
* adds definitions of gsm_bts_model for BS-11 and nanoBTS
* changes the abis_nm_tlv_parse() function: include a bts pointer
This proxy allows us to restart OpenBSC while the BTS's are kept
running with their CCCH/BCCH alive. This is very useful to
make sure the phones don't roam to other networks while restarting
OpenBSC.
The proxy also intrduces UDP sockets for injecting UDP packets
into the A-bis data stream.
So far I have not much idea about the format. It is starting with
the magic byte and the header is spanning until the next occurence
of the " SDP" marker.
This has the advantage that counters can be added all over the code
very easily, while having only one routine that stores all of the
current counter values to the database. The counters are synced
every 60 seconds, providing relatively fine grained statistics
about the network usage as time passes by.
This provides two functions: get_meas_rep_avg() to obtain the sliding
window average of one particular field, and meas_rep_n_out_of_m_be()
to check if at least N out of M measurments are >= BE.
With this commit, we can successfully hand over a channel from one cell to
another cell. We implement asynchronous intra-BSC (but inter-BTS) handover.
Changes:
* introduce new DHO log category
* extend rsl_chan_activate_lchan() with argument for HO reference
* introduce actual minimal handover decision making in handover_decision.c
* various fixes to bsc_handover_start() in handover_logic.c
Before this commit, OpenBSC used templates for the SYSTEM INFO
1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6 messages. Those templates were patched in
various places to reflect the network config like ARFCN.
Now, we actually generate those SI messages ourselves, using
values from the configuration file, and even calculating neighbor
cell lists.
All bts'es that you have configured in OpenBSC will end up in
the neighbor cell list - which should be more than sufficient for
the current small-single-site networks.
Code to implement handover control logic. A yet-to-be-implemented
handover algorithm will call bsc_handover_start(old_lchan, new_bts)
to start the handover process.
The python script is a simple call-agent driving the
client. Currently it is sending a AuditEndpoint message
and is printing the result.
The bsc_mgcp.c is a standalone process that will implement
a MGCP Gateway for the MSC. On call handling the Call-Agent
will ask the Gateway to "CreateConnection" and then this
gateway needs to communicate with OpenBSC.
Currently CreateConnection,ModifiyConnection,DeleteConnection
and Endpoint auditing is implemented.
[mgcp] Send RSIP on start and on first receive of any message
Ignore the first request and send a RSIP. We do that because
we might tunnel UDP through some other things and have no direct
way to connect to the call-agent.
Also the transaction is not checked and we ignore the response
from the call-agent, actually we print the '200 ' or any other
value as unhandled...
[mgcp] Print the MGCP command next to the response code
This allows to see which commands were sent by the server
mgcp: Terminate it with a new line
[mgcp] Make number of endpoints static...
For now this is fixed to the number of endpoints as of the GSM
specification...
[mgcp] The endpoint names seem to be base 16... use strtoul to parse
Use strtoul to parse the base 16 number from the mgw string.
[mgcp] Log the endpoints as hex numbers...
[mgcp] Only send the RSIP on the first incoming message..
Remove call_agent option (also remove the number from the getopt
call).
[mgcp] Start couting at 1 for the mgcp
[mgcp] Slight attempt to improve the grammar of the strings
[mgcp] Share validation routines between DLCX and MDCX
[mgcp] Remove help for dead config options
[mgcp] Specify a different IN addr in the SDP records
In case of NAT traversal be able to listen on a given
interface (like 127.0.0.1) but claim to receive data
at the beginning of the tunnel.
[mgcp] Fix the static copy of the SDP file
WIP verify out factoring broken..
[mgcp] Introduce VTY to the mgcp for config file parsing...
Parse the MGCP config file via the VTY framework.
[mgcp] Handle SDP parameters through VTY..
Currently the payload type, name and rate can be specified
in the config file.
[mgcp] Add an option to bind all rtp ports early
This can be useful for testing and in deployment to make sure
no runtime resource limit can be hit.
[mgcp] Add some API doc comment
[mgcp] Convert the packets of the example server to ascii
This will allow to easily patch the call id... to run the
server in a loop and make it work with the mediagateway
[mgcp] Assign CI_UNUSED... to be more obvious...
[mgcp] Use DEBUG and not DEBUGPC and specially not printf
Improve the logging a bit in the mgcp
[mgcp] Change the fake server to change the call id
This assume the call-agent will just increment the id
as well.... this is true for our implementation
[mgcp] Generate the transaction id dynamically..
This way wireshark will be more happy about it...
[mgcp] Recognize responses from the network..
This is just recognizing the response code and
then is doing nothing with it. Also change the
script to generate response messages...
[mgcp] Improve debug messages for CRCX/MDCX..
Log on which ports the media gateway is listening
and where the other (server) gateway is located
include/sccp/sccp_types.h contain Q.713 and GSM definitions
include/sccp/sccp.h is the application interface resembling
the esentials of the UNIX socket interface.
src/sccp.c is the actual implementation of SCCP featuring
connection and UDT1 support.
tests/sccp/sccp.c is testing connection creation and formating
of the SCCP messages used by the A-interface. And
it contains a simple fuzzing test to test the
robustnes of the implementation.
This allows the administrator to use the vty interface to issue a silent
call to a given subscriber by using
"subscriber extension XXXX silent call start"
and stopping that silent call with
"subscriber extension XXXX silent call stop"
Share the initialization and bootstraping of the network by moving
the code to a new file and making boostrap_network and shutdown_net
external.
Cleanup the header list after the move and remove trailing whitespace.
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.
