A new nacc_fsm is introduced per MS object, with its partner priv structure struct nacc_fsm_ctx, which exists and is available in the MS object only during the duration of the NACC procedure. The NACC context is created on an MS whenever a Pkt Cell Change Notification is received on Uplink RLCMAC, which asks for neighbor information of a given ARFCN+BSIC. First, the target ARFCN+BSIC needs to be translated into a CGI-PS (RAC+CI) address. That's done by asking the BSC through the Neighbour Resolution Service available in osmo-bsc using the CTRL interface. Once the CGI-PS of the target cell is known, PCU starts a RIM RAN-INFO request against the SGSN (which will route the request as needed), and wait for a response containing the SI bits from the target cell. After the SI are received, the scheduler is instructed to eventually poll a TBF for the MS originating the CCN, so that we can send the SI encapsulated into multiple Packet Neighbor Cell Data messages on the downlink. One all the SI bits are sent, the scheduler is instructed to send a Packet Cell Change Continue message. Once the message above has been sent, the FSM autodestroys itself. Caches are also introduced in this patch which allows for re-using recently known translations ARFCN+BSIC -> CGI-PS and CGI-PS -> SI_INFO respectively.

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.
