This radio -modem offers an interface based on top of UDP streams. - - -The OsmoBTS bts_model code for OsmoTRX is called -`osmo-bts-trx`. It implements the UDP stream interface of -OsmoTRX, so both parts can be used together to implement a complete GSM -BTS based on general-purpose computing SDR. - -As OsmoTRX is general-purpose software running on top of Linux, it is -thus not tied to any specific physical hardware. At the time of this -writing, OsmoTRX supports a variety of Lime Microsystems and Ettus USRP SDRs via -the UHD driver, as well as the Fairwaves UmTRX and derived products. - -OsmoTRX is not a complete GSM PHY but 'just' the radio modem. This -means that all of the Layer 1 functionality such as scheduling, -convolutional coding, etc. is actually also implemented inside OsmoBTS. -OsmoTRX is a software-defined radio transceiver that implements the Layer 1 -physical layer of a BTS comprising the following 3GPP specifications: - -* TS 05.01 "Physical layer on the radio path" -* TS 05.02 "Multiplexing and Multiple Access on the Radio Path" -* TS 05.04 "Modulation" -* TS 05.10 "Radio subsystem synchronization - -As such, the boundary between OsmoTRX and `osmo-bts-trx` is at -a much lower interface, which is an internal interface of other more -traditional GSM PHY implementations. - -Besides OsmoTRX, there are also other implementations (both Free -Software and proprietary) that implement the same UDP stream based radio -modem interface. - -[[fig-gprs-pcubts]] -.GSM network architecture with OsmoTRX and OsmoBTS -[graphviz] ----- -digraph G { - rankdir=LR; - MS0 [label="MS"]; - MS1 [label="MS"]; - MS0->SDR[label="Um"]; - MS1->SDR [label="Um"]; - SDR -> OsmoTRX [label="Raw Samples"]; - OsmoTRX->BTS [label="bursts over UDP"]; - BTS->BSC [label="Abis"]; - BSC->MSC [label="A"]; - BTS->PCU [label="pcu_sock"]; - PCU->SGSN [label="Gb"]; - OsmoTRX [color=red]; -} ----- - -For more information see -https://osmocom.org/projects/osmotrx/wiki/OsmoTRX |
