It seems the assumptions regarding maximum number of RA capabilitites in one message were wrong. Doing some rough calculations, each RA capabilitiy value (without extensions) can take around 20ish bits, which means for a message containing up to 52 bytes that quite a lot of different values could be theoretically fed in. Let's be safe and increase the array size to be able to handle all different access technologies listed in See TS 24.008 table 10.5.146 following restrictions: * "The MS Radio Access capability is a type 4 information element, with a maximum length of 52 octets." * "Among the three Access Type Technologies GSM 900-P, GSM 900-E and GSM 900-R only one shall be present." * "the mobile station should provide the relevant radio access capability for either GSM 1800 band OR GSM 1900 band, not both". Wireshark requires similar fix (it's not important though because it currently uses another ad-hoc decoder for RAcap). Related: OS#4463 Change-Id: I5334eaacfbc238fae8bea50c9e9667c2117f81ff |

osmo-pcu - Osmocom Packet Control Unit
This repository contains a C/C++-language implementation of a GPRS Packet Control Unit, as specified by ETSI/3GPP. It is part of the Osmocom Open Source Mobile Communications project.
The Packet Control Unit is terminating the Layer 2 (RLC/MAC) of the GPRS radio interface and adapting it to the Gb Interface (BSSGP+NS Protocol) towards the SGSN.
The PCU interfaces with the physical layer of the radio interface. OsmoPCU is typically used co-located with the BTS, specifically OsmoBTS. For legacy BTSs that run proprietary sotware without an interface to OsmoPCU, you may also co-locate it with the BSC, specifically OsmoBSC
Homepage
The official homepage of the project is https://osmocom.org/projects/osmopcu/wiki/OsmoPCU
GIT Repository
You can clone from the official osmo-pcu.git repository using
git clone git://git.osmocom.org/osmo-pcu.git
There is a cgit interface at http://git.osmocom.org/osmo-pcu/
Documentation
We provide a user manual as well as a vty reference manual
Please note that a lot of the PCU configuration actually happens inside the BSC, which passes this configuration via A-bis OML to the BTS, which then in turn passes it via the PCU socket into OsmoPCU.
