Description

When running test voice:trx-b200+mod-bts0-dynts-ipa with osmo-gsm-tester, the modem is unable to GPRS Attach to the network.

That failing test uses TCH/F_PDCH. However, another test using TCH/F_TCH/H_PDCH works fine.
Same test run using osmo-bts-sysmo works fine with both TCH/F_PDCH and TCH/F_TCH/H_PDCH.

I attach an archive with 3 test runs using different configs:
  • run.2018-08-21_17-42-15/gprs:trx-b200+mod-bts0-dynts-ipa: Shows how running osmo-bts-trx with TCH/F_PDCH fails.
  • run.2018-08-21_17-48-47/gprs:sysmo+mod-bts0-dynts-ipa/: Shows how running osmo-bts-sysmo with TCH/F_PDCH succeeds.
  • run.2018-08-21_17-52-16/gprs:trx-b200+mod-bts0-dynts-osmo/: Shows how running osmo-bts-trx with TCH/F_TCH/H_PDCH suceeds.

comparing the failing run.2018-08-21_17-42-15 to the osmo dyn ts run.2018-08-21_17-52-16:

The succeeding PCU BTS log, on startup, says, for each dyn TS:

20180821175236319 DOML <0001> oml.c:76 Sending PCU version report to BSC: 0.5.1.1-54af

20180821175236319 DRSL <0000> rsl.c:812 (bts=0,trx=0,ts=2,ss=0) not sending CHAN ACT ACK

The failing one lacks the "Activating PxxCH":

20180821174235089 DOML <0001> oml.c:76 Sending PCU version report to BSC: 0.5.1.1-54af

20180821174235097 DRSL <0000> rsl.c:812 (bts=0,trx=0,ts=2,ss=0) not sending CHAN ACT ACK

looking now why TCH/F_PDCH fails to activate PDTCH and PTCCH SAPIs...

the sysmoBTS version that works has the same chan_nr and still succeeds to activate PDTCH:

pespin , can you try an osmo-gsm-tester run of at least osmo-bts-trx for the suites that do

  • osmocom style dyn ts
  • ipa style dyn ts
  • non-dyn ts

with this patch plz: osmo-bts branch neels/trx_dyn_ipa

I hope that fixes it but I have no SDR hardware to test with...
thx!

Hm wait, I actually run the voice ones. I'll try now with the gprs ones just in case something is wrong there.
