New Year - mid. February, 2012General news and highlights
Source code is available from https://github.com/zabbal/openbts-p2.8 (authenc branch). Authentication is implemented (much testing is still required though). Protocol for communicating encryption key and related stuff is under review at A3A8A5. Encryption implementation is in progress.
We implemented Network Service protocol and BSSGP for integration with osmoSGSN and OpenGGSN (for that we use libgb from OpenBSC). We added Uplink and Downlink TBF Establishment and Release of Uplink and Downlink TBF. Now we are finishing separation of GPRS application from main OpenBTS code and full implementation of GPRS Attach procedure. Source code available from git://github.com/chemeris/openbts-p2.8.git (gprs-work branch).
Curious bug with ephemeris handling discovered (thanks Refik). Another (same?) bug cause phones to fail registration if RRLP request processing takes too long. Both bugs are under investigation.
Source code available at https://github.com/zabbal/openbts-p2.8 (webui branch). This code is far from being complete - it's more an illustration of possibility to use jQuery+SSI instead of .cgi to create eye-candy interface.
Patch to properly handle GPRS suspension request was merged - this helps to workaround iPhone 3G behavior when phone was previously logged on a 3G or to a GSM EDGE and data connection was used.
Arghyadip Paul is hardworking on SMS support for OpenBTS connected to Freeswitch - core functionality is working. Events
UmTRX is open and inexpensive hardware for OpenBTS currently under developments. The main focus was on testing first hardware revision and adding support to UHD. Information about the hardware will available soon at http://code.google.com/p/umtrx/ Software sources available via: https://github.com/chemeris/UHD-Fairwaves
Fairwaves will be at the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona showcasing their UmTRX hardware for OpenBTS. This will be the first public demonstration of the UmTRX. Contact Alexander Chemeris <alexander.chemeris@…> if you want to meet there and see UmTRX.
The idea to apply for GSoC was discussed in ML including description of possible tasks for students. Fairwaves volunteered as backup organization to file application if Range Networks couldn't do it. The GSoC administrator to handle application formalities is yet to be appointed. 注:CommunityUpdates(原文出处,翻译整理仅供参考!) |
