Description
Add tool to osmocom-bb that can decode SMS-CB and log data.
A good starting point is the work done by Alex Badea in 2010 and 2013:
- changes to libosmocore (even with unit tests)
http://lists.osmocom.org/pipermail/baseband-devel/2013-January/003871.html - changes to cell_log
http://lists.osmocom.org/pipermail/baseband-devel/2013-January/003887.html - changes to L1 (already merged in sylvain/testing)
http://lists.osmocom.org/pipermail/baseband-devel/2013-January/003835.html
http://lists.osmocom.org/pipermail/baseband-devel/2013-January/003836.html
There were reasons a that time to not to include these patches into master.
Time went by and now there's even initial support for SMSCB in OsmoBTS/OsmoBSC.

An interesting use-case for (at least for germans) could be the mapping of older BTS from VIAG-Interkom/O2 that still broadcast their locations in Gauss Krueger coordinates.
I've written a perl script that uses the logs from Alex Badeas patched cell_log to generate a KML file with the BTS's coordinates.
