Description

With osmo-bts-trx and a TS configuration featuring TCH/H timeslots,
a call between two phones on the same TRX BTS does never succeed to
use the second lchan of a TCH/H timeslot.

(I do have general unreliability of osmo-trx in my setup but this error
appears consistently)

  • First available TCH/H is ts=5, lchan=0 [0]
  • Second available TCH/H is ts=5, lchan=1 [1]
    But this apparently times out and then [2]
  • Third available TCH/H on ts=6, lchan=0 is actually used

So it seems TRX is not capable of using two lchans on one TCH/H timeslot.

Reproduced locally, the problem seems to be that despite repetitive paging (Rx RSL PAGING_CMD) osmo-bts-trx never receive back established indication (Fwd RLL msg EST_IND from LAPDm to A-bis) from phone if assignment was on the same TS. Why this happens is unclear yet.

At the bts side there are multitude of errors like:
<0006> gsm0503_coding.c:1848 tch_fr_decode(): error checking CRC8 for an HR frame
<0006> scheduler_trx.c:1278 Received bad TCH frame ending at fn=641452 for TCH/H(0)

<0006> gsm0503_coding.c:1826 tch_hr_decode(): error decoding FACCH frame (342/456 bits)

Also, sometimes, call just fails instead of being established on different TS - can't reproduce this reliably yet though.

Hi Max,

I just tested the configuration with only one TCH/H channel
on both UmTRX SDR (through OsmoTRX) and CalypsoBTS (two OsmocomBB
phones acting as BTS). In short, both lchans of TCH/H work fine
on CalypsoBTS, and I was able to make a call between two connected
subscribers and hear the voice ;)

On OsmoTRX I am getting similar problem as you mentioned above.
The only difference is that I have configured only one TCH/H and
disabled others.

CalypsoBTS call log output:

In short, both lchans of TCH/H work fine
on CalypsoBTS, and I was able to make a call between two connected
subscribers and hear the voice ;)

Curious, could you share more details on your calypsoBTS setup - configs, branches etc? If I understand this correctly, the only difference in this setup is replacement of osmo-trx with transceiver app from OsmocomBB. In this case the error is somewhere inside osmo-trx.

Another look from another side

Now let's have a look, what's happening on MS side.
Both subscribers were registered in the test network:

- Subscriber #1 - regular phone (initiates call)
- Subscriber #2 - OsmocomBB mobile application (accepts call)

1. Subscriber #1 requests a channel (sending RACH)
2. Network allocates a new channel on TS2/SS0 as TCH/H and sends an IMM ASS
3. Subscriber #1 switches to TS2/SS0 and requests the voice call service to #2
4. Network periodically sends Paging Request to subscriber #2
5. Subscriber #2 sees the Paging Request and requests a new channel (sending RACH)
6. Network allocates a new channel on TS2/SS1 and sends an IMM ASS
7. Subscriber #2 switches to TS2/SS1, and sends Paging Response
8. BUT! Network doesn't response to the Paging Response, and still sends Paging Requests...
9. Subscriber #2 switches back to CCCH TS0, because some timer getting expired
10. Subscriber #2 still sees Paging Requests, and requests a new channel (sending RACH)
11. Network allocates a new channel on TS3/SS0 and sends an IMM ASS
12. Subscriber #2 switches to TS3/SS0, and sends Paging Response
13. Now the network handles the Paging Response and the phone is rings
14. Meanwhile, T3101 expires for TS2/SS1 because Paging Response wasn't reached the BSC
15. Network deactivates TS2/SS1

So, the problem is that the OsmoTRX based network doesn't handle incoming data on the second lchan.
Please also see some network captures attached.

Dear Max,

I just managed to make both lchans of a single TS work.
The problem is that OsmoBTS sends the "SETSLOT N 2" instead of "SETSLOT N 3".
Please see http://git.osmocom.org/osmo-trx/tree/Transceiver52M/Transceiver.h#n125

In case of ChannelCombination II, OsmoTRX ignores UL data on TSN/SS1, what we
can clearly see in the MS side traffic dump. So, I did a simple hack in OsmoTRX
source code, replacing 2 by 3, and the miracle happened ;)

Now we need to figure out, is it a bug of OsmoTRX or OsmoBTS.

Excellent! Nice catch.

Take a look at http://git.osmocom.org/osmo-bts/tree/src/osmo-bts-trx/l1_if.c#n47
which sets TCH_H to 2,
which is assigned to slottype at http://git.osmocom.org/osmo-bts/tree/src/osmo-bts-trx/l1_if.c#n431

Is the issue fixed when using 3 instead of 2 in transceiver_chan_types[]?

Should it use two or three dynamically, depending on how many lchans are in use?

(Besides, there should not be magic numbers in that transceiver_chan_types array,
we should probably use defined constants instead ... somehow.)

Thanks, exactly what I was looking for.

Yes, but I did the hack on the OsmoTRX side. So, let me some time to try with OsmoBTS.

Good question. What kind of difference between TCH/F and TCH/H in II the mode?

Regarding to the way of resolving this issue: I sugget to change the hardcored magic
number to the III. What do you think?

Ok, I'm glad that my suggestion about channel types on osmo-trx has worked out.

For the reference, a full list of channel combination types is in GSM 05.02 section "6.4.1 Permitted channel combinations onto a basic physical channel": http://www.qtc.jp/3GPP/Specs/GSM_GERAN/0502-8b0.pdf

It clearly states that channel combination II is only for one TCH/H channel and combination III is two TCH/H channels, osmo-trx behavior is correct and it's osmo-bts which should be fixed:
ii) TCH/H(0,1) + FACCH/H(0,1) + SACCH/TH
iii) TCH/H(0,0) + FACCH/H(0,1) + SACCH/TH + TCH/H(1,1)

That said, you should test with a Calypso based setup first to make sure Calypso will accept channel combination III just as it works with channel combination II right now. Otherwise we'll have to somehow distinguish between Calypso and a proper SDR based osmo-trx.

The reason for combination II is that it saves a bit of CPU by disabling Rx burst detection on SS1. Also when used on C1..n it may flag that transmission of downlink bursts on SS1 is turned off to reduce interference and save some power. That said, in the current implementation osmo-trx transmits only those bursts which are sent by osmo-bts, so the latter concern is not valid for osmo-trx - this should be handled by osmo-bts itself.

So ideally we should start with combination II when we have only one TCH/H call on a slot and dynamically switch to combination III when a second channel is allocated, or to channel combination XXIV when we want to use SS1 for PDTCH/H. But changing to channel combination III will solve the issue in short terms (if we don't want to use PDTCH/H) in exchange to a slight increase of CPU usage in under-loaded situations.

That said, we should introduce much more dynamic channel switching between osmo-bts and osmo-trx, because right now all channels are configured on start and thus Rx burst detection is always active on all timeslots, which is far from optimal from CPU utilization perspective. We should probably create a separate ticket for that.

We also should add all 24 channel combinations to osmo-trx, because right now it supports only the first 13. Then these channel combinations should be also added to osmo-bts-trx which I believe lack those and thus lacks support for SMSCB for example. A separate ticket as well I assume.

Hi,

Calypso will accept channel combination III just as it works with channel
combination II right now. Otherwise we'll have to somehow distinguish between
Calypso and a proper SDR based osmo-trx.

Yeah, just tested - works fine as with II. Both SS0 and SS1 are available.

The reason for combination II is that it saves a bit of CPU by disabling Rx
burst detection on SS1. Also when used on C1..n it may flag that transmission
of downlink bursts on SS1 is turned off to reduce interference and save some power.
That said, in the current implementation osmo-trx transmits only those bursts which
are sent by osmo-bts, so the latter concern is not valid for osmo-trx - this should
be handled by osmo-bts itself.

Great explanation, thanks!

My suggestion is to change the II to III for now, until dynamic II <-> III switching
is implemented. The patch is very simple and ready to be sent to the Gerrit.

I agree that this is an ok fix for now.

If you have time - could you look at implementing all 24 specified combinations while you're at this code? And check that all existing combinations are implemented correctly. :)

I am not so good in the OsmoTRX source code, but I'll try :)
