Description

Hi, I wasnt to report bug with our old Nokia 1600 mobile phones.

Problem: Incoming, outgoing call always failed if one of phones is Nokia 1600.

Detailed informations:
  • Calling from Nokia 1600 (extension 23855) to Google Nexus 5 (extension 23119)
  • Call fails after 30-45 seconds (seems like dropped by Nokia), Nokia without gsm signal.
  • PCAPs with RSL+OML and with gsmtap included
  • log files included
  • BTS+BSC configs included

We noticed that calls with Nokia will always fail after 30-45 seconds. Both outgoing and incoming calls. In RSL, there is CC Connect ACK, no CC Disconect or CC Release. When a call fails, then after some time the connection failure occurs.
At the beginning of call, voice is clear, about 10 seconds before drop is voice corrupted and then call fails.

Before call failed, there are many of entries of this type in log - "Received bad TCH frame ending at fn=619067 for TCH/F". We tried also same RX gain/TX atten. modifications, also MS power settings, but with no effect.

With another different phones, calls work perfectly, so we suspecting the undefined behaviour of Nokia 1600 (https://www.gsmarena.com/nokia_1600-1188.php)

Tests:
1. call accepted, call failed
2. call accepted, call failed (longer pcap with connection failure)
3. only alerting, call failed

HW:
Ettus B200 with external clock
Nokia 1600 (tried several phones same type)
LG Nexus 5

hi. i got the nokia1600 laforge ordered, but sadly the phone reports 'ungueltige sim' -> 'sim invalid' which means it is likely simlocked, contrary to the labeling 'ohne simlock' on the package.
seems we need to either get another phone or unlock this one first.

timojacobus: can you please add your osmo-trx-uhd.cfg as well?
also it would be interesting to know which builds you use for testing. i am using the debian9 feed 'latest'

timojacobus: another question would be what kind of clock-source do you use for the usrp? some gps-disciplined oscillator?

kind regards

I've notified the seller about this. Would be interesting to try with some cards
that have 26201 / 26202 / 26207 as operator code.

i have tried some old tchibo sim of mine, which i think uses the o2
network and it asked me for a pin i cannot remember anymore instead of
the error message.

Hi, I added osmo-trx.cfg file (from latest configuration). Clock source in not original Ettus TCXO module, but custom precise oscillator.

i just tried it in a 'old nitb & old sysmobts' setup and it worked for me (voice call, no issues)

will test with osmo-trx at the next opportunity

i have just tested the nokia1600 in a voice call to a samsung s4mini on a cell running on a usrp b200 using the nightly builds of our debian9 feed. (split-nitb)

there is voice in both directions and the call is stable. codec is FR.

clock is from a E4406A.

@timojacobus: sure your clock is proper? (correct slope/levels etc?)

sorry - i could not reproduce this problem.
