What I think we have to do before HAR is as follows:

h2. Actual code

h3. absolutely required

* finish and test the SMS implementation [Harald]

* make sure we enable MS power control and impose a global limit of 100mW for the uplink (MS->BSC) direction by means of the MS POWER IE's and the BCCH information.  That sounds like something for Dieter to figure out, especially since he has measurement equipment ;)

* test dual-BTS-on-single-E1-card config [Harald]

** up to now, we have only tested with two nanoBTS, not BS-11 !

* test dual-TRX operation of BS-11 on [[OpenBSC]] [Stefan/Daniel, can you do that?]

** channel allocator can be tweaked to give 2nd TRX a preference for debugging

h3. optional

* implement a 'provisioning mode' to [[OpenBSC]] that

** acccepts every new IMSI the first time we see it

** sends a SMS with a auth token to that mobile

** disconnects that mobile immediately

* implement a web site / cgi script

** once user enters correct tuple of ISMI + auth code, we

*** assign him a number (user cannot choose, we assign)

*** set authorized=1 in the sql table

* implement a web site bug tracker for user bug reports

** the should include detailed information about the phone model, his phone number and the exact timestamp, so we can match it in the pcap's

* add more introspection code for the VTY interface to explore the run-time data structures in [[OpenBSC]]

* implement different TCH assignment schemes (early / very early / OCASU)

* do we really want a SDCCH/8 or is SDCCH/4 for each BTS sufficient?

* some more testing with two BTS

* in case we call a user who is currently offline/busy, generate SMS about missed call and store it in the SMS table

* web interface ideas

** SMS gateway where people can send SMS from the web site

*** SMS spam function for us in case we want to inform users about something

** simplistic phone book

* enhance vty interface with administrative functions such as

** ability to close arbitrary channels (i.e. terminate a call)

** ability to kick-ban a user out of the network

*** set authorized=0

*** perform authentication procedure with reject at its end

* make sure we store all the 'this phone was registerd before to MCC/MNC/LAC' from the LOC UPD REQ data

* make sure we really store the classmark1/2/3 together with IMEI in SQL table

h2. Things to bring to the event

* spectrum analyzer [from CCCB]

* stable OCXO reference to calibrate BS-11 internal clock

** this could be done before the event, but Harald has no precision clock source

* trace mobiles / monitor mode mobiles (if anyone has some)

* some poles to which we can mount the BS-11 ?

h2. Misc

* draft 'usage terms & conditions' to be put on the registration web site and the HAR2009 wiki, indicating

** all signalling and traffic data will be stored for R&D purpose

** we do not employ authentication and/or encryption

** we do not provide any service guarantee

** this is for evaluation+testing only

** no handover/roaming and/or external calls

** no warranty for any damage to MS, SIM, ...

** IMSI/IMEI information will not be disclosed by us, but people can sniff it

h2. IMSI Statistics
