You can use it +to interface Iuh-speaking femtocells/small cells to Iu-speaking MSCs and +SGSNs. + +It is part of the [Osmocom](https://osmocom.org/) Open Source Mobile +Communications project. + +Homepage +-------- + +The official homepage of the project is +https://osmocom.org/projects/osmohnbgw/wiki + +GIT Repository +-------------- + +You can clone from the official libosmocore.git repository using + + git clone git://git.osmocom.org/osmo-iuh.git + +There is a cgit interface at http://git.osmocom.org/osmo-iuh/ + +Documentation +------------- + +There is currently no documentation beyond the wiki available on the +homepage. We would love to see somebody contributing a manual that can +be part of the osmo-gsm-manuals suite. + +Mailing List +------------ + +Discussions related to osmo-iuh are happening on the +openbsc@lists.osmocom.org mailing list, please see +https://lists.osmocom.org/mailman/listinfo/openbsc for subscription +options and the list archive. + +Please observe the [Osmocom Mailing List +Rules](https://osmocom.org/projects/cellular-infrastructure/wiki/Mailing_List_Rules) +when posting. + +Contributing +------------ + +Our coding standards are described at +https://osmocom.org/projects/cellular-infrastructure/wiki/Coding_standards + +We us a gerrit based patch submission/review process for managing +contributions. Please see +https://osmocom.org/projects/cellular-infrastructure/wiki/Gerrit for +more details + +The current patch queue for osmo-iuh can be seen at +https://gerrit.osmocom.org/#/q/project:osmo-iuh+status:open + + +Building +-------- + +It is generally best to check the wiki for the most up-to-date build +instructions. + +As external library dependencies, you will need +* libosmocore from git://git.osmocom.org/libosmocore +* libasn1c from git://git.osmocom.org/libasn1c +* libsctp-dev (this is the package name in Debian) +* libosmo-netif from git://git.osmocom.org/libosmo-netif (sysmocom/sctp branch) +* libosmo-sccp from git://git.osmocom.org/libosmo-sccp (sysmocom/iu branch) + +To bootstrap the build, in the root directory, run: + + autoreconf --install + +After that, run the usual + + ./configure [options] + make + [sudo] make install + +Using +----- + +Note: osmo-iuh just left very active development (December 2015, January +2016), so your mileage may vary. + +If you run the 'hnbgw' executable, it will open a listening SCTP socket +and wait for incoming Iuh connections. It will accept any +HNB-REGISTER-REQUEST, and it will establish Iu (over SUA) connections +towards the MSC and SGSN. + +Regenerating C code from ASN.1 source +------------------------------------- + +In order to re-generate the C source code from the ASN.1 source, +you will need a modified asn1c which has the following features: +* APER support (the patch from Eurecom, or its forward-ported version + from the aper branch of git://git.osmocom.org/asn1c) +* support for prefixing the generated types (aper-prefix branch of + git://git.osmocom.org/asn1c) |
