move openbsc/* to repos root
This is the first step in creating this repository from the legacy openbsc.git. Like all other Osmocom repositories, keep the autoconf and automake files in the repository root. openbsc.git has been the sole exception, which ends now. Change-Id: I9c6f2a448d9cb1cc088cf1cf6918b69d7e69b4e7

+Call routing in OpenBSC
+
+Flow of events:
+
+ # MO call initiated by MS, CHANNEL RQD, IMMEDIATE ASSIGN
+ # MS sends CC SETUP message, we assume already on TCH/H FACCH
+ # OpenBSC does a subscriber lookup based on the target extension
+ * If a subscriber is found:
+ # send CALL PROCEEDING message to MO
+ # page the MT subscriber and ask itI to ask for TCH/H
+ # once paging completes, we have the TCH/H for the MT end
+ # send SETUP to MT
+ # receive CALL CONFIRMED from MT
+ # set-up the TRAU mux mapping between the E1 subslots for both TCH/H
+ # receive ALERTING from MT, route ALERTING to MO
+ # receive CONNECT from MT, confirm to MT with CONNECT_ACK
+ # send a CONNECT message to MO, receive CONNECT_ACK from MO
+ * If subscriber is not found:
+ # send RELEASE COMPLETE with apropriate cause to MO (1: unalloacated 3: no route)

+
+== Implementation in OpenBSC ==
+
+There are two possible reasons a gsm_subscriber_connection
+will be released. One is a network failure, the other is
+the completion of an operation/transaction.
+
+=== Failure ===
+The BSC API will call the gsm_04_08.c:gsm0408_clear_request callback
+and the MSC part will release all transactions, operations and such
+and the channels will be released as error case.
+
+=== Success ===
+Every time an 'operation' or 'transaction' is finished msc_release_connection
+will be called and it will determine if the gsm_subscriber_connection can
+be released.
+
+In case it can be released bsc_api.c:gsm0808_clear will be called
+which will release all lchan's associated with the connection. For the
+primary channel a SACH Deactivate will be send with the release
+reason NORMAL RELEASE.
+
+
+bsc_api.c:gsm0808_clear
+ * Release a channel used for handover
+ * Release the primary lchan with normal release, SACH deactivate
+
+chan_alloc.c:lchan_release(chan, sacch_deactivate, reason)
+ * Start the release procedure. It is working in steps with callbacks
+ coming from the abis_rsl.c code.
+ * Release all SAPI's > 0 as local end (The BTS should send a
+ REL_CONF a message)
+ * Send SACH Deactivate on SAPI=0 if required.
+ * Start T3109 (stop it when the main signalling link is disconnected)
+ or when the channel released. On timeout start the error handling.
+ * abis_rsl.c schedules the RSL_MT_RF_CHAN_REL once all SAPI's are
+ released and after T3111 has timed out or there is an error.
+
+RX of RELease INDication:
+ * Calls internal rsl_handle_release which might release the RF.
+
+RX of RELease CONFirmation:
+ * Calls internal rsl_handle_release which might release the RF.
+
+* RX of RF_CHAN_REL_ACK
+ * call lchan_free()

+E1 related data model
+
+This data model describes the physical relationship of the individual
+parts in the network, it is not the logical/protocol side of the GSM
+network.
+
+A BTS is connected to the BSC by some physical link. It could be an actual
+E1 link, but it could also be abis-over-IP with a mixture of TCP and RTP/UDP.
+
+To further complicate the fact, multiple BTS can share one such pysical
+link. On a single E1 line, we can easily accomodate up to three BTS with
+two TRX each.
+
+Thus, it is best for OpenBSC to have some kind of abstraction layer. The BSC's
+view of a BTS connected to it. We call this 'bts_link'. A bts_link can be
+* all the TCP and UDP streams of a Abis-over-IP BTS
+* a set of E1 timeslots for OML, RSL and TRAU connections on a E1 link
+* a serial line exclusively used for OML messages (T-Link)
+
+A bts_link can be registered with the OpenBSC core at runtime.

+Here is a simple setup to test GTPHub operations. The IP addresses picked will
+work well only on a system that creates local addresses (127.0.0.123) on the
+fly (like linux) -- you may pick of course different IP addresses.
+
+Overview of the example setup:
+
+ sgsnemu gtphub ggsn
+ 127.0.0.1 <--> 127.0.0.3 127.0.0.4 <--> 127.0.0.2
+
+Prerequisites: openggsn.
+
+Have a local directory where you store config files and from which you launch
+the GSNs and the hub (they will store restart counter files in that dir).
+In it, have these config files:
+
+ggsn.conf:
+
+ # GGSN local address
+ listen 127.0.0.2
+
+ # End User Addresses are picked from this range
+ net 10.23.42.0/24
+
+ pcodns1 8.8.8.8
+
+ logfile /tmp/foo
+
+gtphub.conf:
+
+ gtphub
+ bind-to-sgsns 127.0.0.3
+ bind-to-ggsns 127.0.0.4
+ ggsn-proxy 127.0.0.2
+ end
+
+
+(
+You may omit the ggsn-proxy if GRX ares is working, or if you add the GRX
+address and GGSN IP address to /etc/hosts something like:
+
+ 127.0.0.2 internet.mnc070.mcc901.gprs
+
+)
+
+
+Once the config files are in place, start the programs, in separate terminals.
+GGSN and SGSN need to be started with root priviliges to be able to create tun
+interfaces. GTPHub may run as unprivileged user.
+
+The LD_LIBRARY_PATH below may be needed if OpenGGSN installed to /usr/local.
+
+
+1. GGSN:
+
+ sudo -s
+ cd <your-test-dir>
+ LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/lib /usr/local/bin/ggsn -f -c ./ggsn.conf
+
+2. GTPHub:
+
+ cd <your-test-dir>
+ path/to/openbsc/openbsc/src/gprs/osmo-gtphub -c gtphub.conf #-e 1 #for DEBUG level
+
+3. SGSN tests:
+
+ sudo -s
+ cd <your-test-dir>
+ /usr/local/bin/sgsnemu --createif -l 127.0.0.1 -r 127.0.0.3 --imsi 420001214365100 --contexts=3
+
+Add more SGSNs using different IMSIs and local ports (if the same IMSI is used,
+the GGSN will reuse TEIs and tunnels will be discarded automatically):
+
+ /usr/local/bin/sgsnemu --createif -l 127.0.0.11 -r 127.0.0.3 --imsi 420001214365300 --contexts=3
+
+This shows the basic setup of GTPHub. Testing internet traffic via sgsnemu
+still needs some effort to announce a mobile subscriber or the like (I have
+used a real BTS, osmo-sgsn and a testing SIM in a web phone, instead).
+
+The core capability of GTPHub is to manage more than two GSNs, e.g. an SGSN
+contacting various GGSNs over the single GTPHub link. You would configure the
+SGSN to use one fixed GGSN (sending to gtphub) and gtphub will resolve the
+GGSNs once it has received the messages. So the SGSN may be behind NAT (add
+"sgsn-use-sender" to gtphub.conf) and communicate to various GGSNs over a
+single link to gtphub.
+
+I hope this helps to get you going.
+Any suggestions/patches are welcome!

+Average RXLEV is satisfactory high, but average RXQUAL too low indicates
+interference to the channel. Handover should be made.
+
+2) Bad Quality
+
+Averaged RXQUAL is lower than a threshold
+
+3) Low Level / Signal Strength
+
+Average RXLEV is lower than a threshold
+
+4) Distance Handover
+
+MS is too far away from a cell (measured by TA)
+
+5) Power budget / Better Cell
+
+RX Level of neighbor cell is at least "HO Margin dB" dB better than the
+current serving cell.
+
+=== Ideal parameters for HO algorithm ===
+
+Chapter 8, Section 2.2, Table 24:
+
+Window RXLEV averaging: 10 SACCH frames (no weighting)
+Window RXQUAL averaging: 1 SACCH frame (no averaging)
+Level Threashold: 1 of the last 1 AV-RXLEV values < -110dBm
+Quality Threshold: 3 of the last 4 AV-RXQUAL values >= 5
+Interference Threshold: 1 of the last AV-RXLEV > -85 dBm &
+ 3 of the last 4 AV-RXQUAL values >= 5
+Power Budget: Level of neighbor cell > 3 dB better
+Power Budget Interval: Every 6 SACCH frames (6 seconds ?!?)
+Distance Handover: Disabled
+Evaluation rule 1: RXLEV of the candidate cell a tleast -104 dBm
+Evaluation rule 2: Level of candidate cell > 3dB better own cell
+Timer Successful HO: 5 SACCH frames
+Timer Unsuccessful HO: 1 SACCH frame
+
+In a non-frequency hopping case, RXQUAL threshold can be decreased to
+RXLEV >= 4
+
+When frequency hopping is enabled, the following additional parameters
+should be introduced:
+
+* No intra-cell handover
+* Use a HO Margin of 2dB
+
+=== Handover Channel Reservation ===
+
+In loaded network, each cell should reserve some channels for handovers,
+rather than using all of them for new call establishment. This reduces the
+need to drop calls due to failing handovers, at the expense of failing new call
+attempts.
+
+=== Dynamic HO Margin ===
+
+The handover margin (hysteresis) should depend on the RXQUAL. Optimal results
+were achieved with the following settings:
+* RXQUAL <= 4: 9 dB
+* RXQUAL == 5: 6 dB
+* RXQUAL >= 6: 1 dB
+
+
+
+== Actual Handover on a protocol level ==
+
+After the BSC has decided a handover shall be done, it has to
+
+# allocate a channel at the new BTS
+# allocate a handover reference
+# activate the channel on the BTS side using RSL CHANNEL ACTIVATION,
+ indicating the HO reference
+# BTS responds with CHAN ACT ACK, including GSM frame number
+# BSC sends 04.08 HO CMD to MS using old BTS

+
+IPA SCCP message flow in the BSC
+
+February, 2013 Holger Hans Peter Freyther
+
+CONTENTS
+
+1. SCCP inside the IPA header
+2. Supported SCCP message types
+3. Receiving SCCP messages
+4. Sending SCCP messages
+
+
+1. SCCP inside the IPA header
+
+Many Soft-MSCs implement something that is called SCCP/lite. This means
+that SCCP messages are transported inside a small multiplexing protocol
+over TCP/IP. This is an alternative to a full SIGTRAN implementation.
+
+The multiplexing protocol is the same as used with the sysmoBTS and the
+ip.access nanoBTS. It is a three byte header with two bytes for the length
+in network byte order and one byte for the type. The type to be used for
+SCCP is 0xFD.
+
+ struct ipa_header {
+ uint16_t length_in_network_order;
+ uint8_t type;
+ } __attribute__((packed));
+
+
+
+2. Supported SCCP message types
+
+To implement GSM 08.08 only a subset of SCCP messages need to be implemented.
+For transporting paging and reset messages SCCP UDT messages are used. For
+the connections with a Mobile Station (MS) a SCCP connection is opened. This
+means that the SCCP CR, SCCP CC, SCCP CREF, SCCP RLC, SCCP RLSD, SCCP DT1
+and SCCP IT messages are supported.
+
+
+3. Receiving SCCP UDT messages
+
+This is an illustration of the flow of messages. The IPA multiplexing protocol
+is used for various protocols. This means there is a central place where the
+multiplexing stream terminates. The stream is terminated in the osmo_bsc_msc.c
+file and the ipaccess_a_fd_cb method. For SCCP messages the SCCP dispatching
+sccp_system_incoming method is called. This function is implemented in the
+libosmo-sccp library.
+
+To receive UDT messages osmo_bsc_sccp.c:osmo_bsc_sccp_init is using the
+sccp_set_read function to register a callback for UDT messages. The callback
+is msc_sccp_read and it is calling bsc_handle_udt that is implemented in the
+osmo_bsc_bssap.c. This function will handle the GSM 08.08 BSSAP messages.
+Currently only the reset acknowledge and the paging messages are handled.
+
+The BSC currently does not accept incoming SCCP messages and is only opening
+SCCP connections to the MSC. When opening a connection the callbacks for state
+changes (connection confirmed, released, release complete) are set and a routine
+for handling incoming data. This registration is done in the osmo_bsc_sccp.c
+file and the bsc_create_new_connection method. The name of the callback is
+msc_outgoing_sccp_data and this will call bsc_handle_dt1 that is implemented
+in the osmo_bsc_bssap.c file. This will forward the messages to the right
+Mobile Station (MS).
+
+
+4. Sending SCCP messages
+
+There are three parts to sending that will be explained below. The first part
+is to send an entire SCCP frame (which includes the GSM 08.08 data) to the
+MSC. This is done by first registering the low level sending. sccp_system_init
+is called with the function that is responsible for sending a message. The
+msc_sccp_write_ipa will call the msc_queue_write function with the data and
+the right MSC connection. Below the msc_queue_write the IPA header will be
+prepended to the msg and then send to the MSC.
+
+The BSC supports multiple different A-link connections, the decision to pick
+the right MSC is done in this method. It is either done via the SCCP connection
+or the ctx pointer.
+
+When the BSC is starting a BSS RESET message will be sent to the MSC. The reset
+is created in osmo_bsc_msc.c:initialize_if_needed and sccp_write is called with
+the GSM 08.08 data and the connection to use. The libosmo-sccp library will
+embed it into a SCCP UDT message and call the msc_sccp_write_ipa method.
+
+When a new SCCP connection is to be created the bsc_create_new_connection
+in the osmo_bsc_sccp.c file. The sccp_connection_socket method will create
+the context for a SCCP connection. The state and data callback will be used
+to be notified about data and changes. Once the connection is configured the
+bsc_open_connection will be called that will ask the libosmo-sccp library to
+create a SCCP CR message using the sccp_connection_connect method. For active
+connections the sccp_connection_write method will be called.

+oml interface design notes
+
+problems:
+
+* there is no way how to tag a command sent to the BTS, with the response
+ having the same tag to identify the originator of the command
+* therefore, we can have e.g. both the BSC and the OML interface send a
+ SET ATTRIBUTE message, where the responses would end up at the wrong
+ query.
+* The BTS has 10s to ACK/NACK a command. We do not run any timers.
+
+the only possible solutions i can imagine:
+* have some kind of exclusive locking, where the OML interface gets blocked
+ from the BSC and is exclusively assigned to the OML console until all commands
+ of the OML console have terminated. This can either be done explicitly
+ dynamically or on demand
+
+* use the OML interface synchronously, i.e. always wait for the response from
+ the BTS before
+
+* unilateral / unsolicited messages need to be broadcasted to both the BSC and
+ the OML console

+
+GSM Paging implementation in OpenBSC
+
+== Code structure ==
+
+The code is implemented in the libbsc/paging.c file. The external
+interface is documented/specified in the include/openbsc/paging.h
+header file. The code is used by the NITB and BSC application.
+
+
+== Implementation ==
+
+Paging can be initiated in two ways. The standard way is to page by
+LAC. Each BTS has its own list/queue of outstanding paging operation.
+When a subscriber is paged one "struct paging_request" per BTS will
+be allocated and added to the tail of the list. The BTS is supposed
+to be configured to not repeat the paging.
+
+A paging_request will remain in the queue until a paging response or at
+the expiry of the T3113. Every 500 milliseconds a RSL paging command is
+send to the BTS. The 500 milliseconds is a throttling to not crash the
+ip.access nanoBTS. Once one paging_request has been handled it will be
+put at the end of the queue/list and the available slots for the BTS
+will be decreased.
+
+The available slots will be updated based on the paging load information
+element of the CCCH Load indication. If no paging slots are considered
+to be available and no load indication is sent a timer is started. The
+current timeout is 500 milliseconds and at the expiry of the timer the
+available slots will be set to 20.
+
+OpenBSC has the " paging free <-1-1024>" configuration option. In case
+there are less free channels than required no paging request will be
+sent to the BTS. Instead it will be attempted to send the paging request
+at the next timeout (500 milliseconds).
+
+== Limitation ==
+
+The paging throughput could be higher but this has lead to crashes on the
+ip.access nanoBTS in the past.
+
+== Configuration ==
+
+=== ip.access nanoBTS ===
+
+The current CCCH Load indication threshold is 10% and the period is 1 second.
+The code can be found inside the src/libbsc/bts_ipaccess_nanobts.c inside the
+nanobts_attr_bts array.
