OsmoBTS is a software implementation of Layer2/3 of a BTS. It implements the follwing protocols/interfaces:
4 4 ipse
 * LAPDm (GSM 04.06)
5
 * RTP
6 9 laforge
 * A-bis/IP in IPA multiplex
7
 * OML (GSM TS 12.21)
8
 * RSL (GSM TS 08.58)

OsmoBTS is building up on work done previosuly for [wiki:OpenBSC] (RSL, OML, RTP) and [http://bb.osmocom.org OsmocomBB] (LAPDm).  The Abis/IP protocol staking is inspired by ip.access A-bis/IP, sometimes called IPA multiplex.

== Backends / Hardware support ==

OsmoBTS is modular and has support for multiple back-ends.  A back-end talks to a specific L1/PHY implementation of the respective BTS hardware. Based on this architecture, it should be relatively easy to add a new back-end to support so-far unsupported GSM PHY/L1 and associated hardware.

So far OsmoBTS has been integrated with several different L1/PHY and hardware systems. The backends are:
17
 * osmo-bts-sysmo
18
  * Multiple indoor and outdoor BTS products  called [http://www.sysmocom.de/products/sysmobts sysmoBTS] which is sold by [http://sysmocom.de/ sysmocom]
19
 * osmo-bts-trx
20
  * Wideband SDR transceiver hardware supported by OpenBTS transceiver or [OsmoTRX] PHY layer software, including the UmTRX, the USRP family, etc.
21
  * Multiple indoor and outdoor [https://fairwaves.co fairwaves] BTSs, like UmDESK and UmSITE
22
 * osmo-bts-bb
23
  * A pretty crazy experimental BTS hardware based on two OsmocomBB phones had originally been supported, but needs to be re-integrated with core code changes.
