In preparation for inter-BSC and inter-MSC handover, we need to separate the subscriber management logic from the actual RAN connections. What better time to finally rename gsm_subscriber_connection. * Name choice: In 2G, this is a connection to the BSS, but even though 3GPP TS commonly talk of "BSS-A" and "BSS-B" when explaining handover, it's not good to call it "bss_conn": in 3G a BSS is called RNS, IIUC. The overall term for 2G (GERAN) and 3G (UTRAN) is RAN: Radio Access Network. * Rationale: A subscriber in the MSC so far has only one RAN connection, but e.g. for inter-BSC handover, a second one needs to be created to handover to. Most of the items in the former gsm_subscriber_connection are actually related to the RAN, with only a few MM and RTP related items. So, as a first step, just rename it to ran_conn, to cosmetically prepare for moving the not strictly RAN related items away later. Also: - Rename some functions from msc_subscr_conn_* to ran_conn_* - Rename "Subscr_Conn" FSM instance name to "RAN_conn" - Rename SUBSCR_CONN_* to RAN_CONN_* Change-Id: Ic595f7a558d3553c067f77dc67543ab59659707a |

About OsmoMSC ============= 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.
