Description

While investigating #6216, I noticed that the Bearer Capability in MT SETUP looks weird and does not match such in the MO SETUP.

[frame 9] MO Setup (from SE K800):

The MT Setup is crafted in gsm48_cc_tx_setup(). I created a breakpoint and AFAICS, the sdp_audio_codecs_to_bearer_cap() yields weird results:

(gdb) p (int)memset(&bearer_cap, 0, sizeof(bearer_cap))
$19 = 2135729648
(gdb) p bearer_cap.speech_ver[0] = -1
$20 = -1
(gdb) p bearer_cap
$21 = {transfer = 0, mode = 0, coding = 0, radio = 0, speech_ctm = 0, speech_ver = {-1, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0}, data = {rate_adaption = GSM48_BCAP_RA_NONE, sig_access = 0, async = 0, nr_stop_bits = 0, nr_data_bits = 0, 
    user_rate = 0, parity = GSM48_BCAP_PAR_ODD, interm_rate = 0, transp = GSM48_BCAP_TR_TRANSP, modem_type = GSM48_BCAP_MT_NONE}}

Hm, things starting to make sense after reading the source code. So we have the following input:

(gdb) p trans->cc.local.audio_codecs
$39 = {count = 2, codec = {{payload_type = 112, subtype_name = "AMR", '\000' <repeats 12 times>, rate = 8000, fmtp = "octet-align=1", '\000' <repeats 50 times>}, {payload_type = 3, subtype_name = "GSM", '\000' <repeats 12 times>, 
      rate = 8000, fmtp = '\000' <repeats 63 times>}, {payload_type = 111, subtype_name = "GSM-HR-08\000\000\000\000\000\000", rate = 8000, fmtp = '\000' <repeats 63 times>}, {payload_type = 111, 
      subtype_name = "GSM-HR-08\000\000\000\000\000\000", rate = 8000, fmtp = '\000' <repeats 63 times>}, {payload_type = 0, subtype_name = '\000' <repeats 15 times>, rate = 0, 
      fmtp = '\000' <repeats 63 times>} <repeats 12 times>}}
(gdb) p trans->cc.local.audio_codecs.codec[0]
$40 = {payload_type = 112, subtype_name = "AMR", '\000' <repeats 12 times>, rate = 8000, fmtp = "octet-align=1", '\000' <repeats 50 times>}
(gdb) p trans->cc.local.audio_codecs.codec[1]
$41 = {payload_type = 3, subtype_name = "GSM", '\000' <repeats 12 times>, rate = 8000, fmtp = '\000' <repeats 63 times>}

Basically AMR and FR. We pass this to sdp_audio_codecs_to_bearer_cap(), which calls sdp_audio_codec_add_to_bearer_cap() for each codec:

/* Try to convert the SDP audio codec name to Speech Versions to append to Bearer Capabilities.
 * Return the number of Speech Version entries added (some may add more than one, others may be unknown/unapplicable and
 * return 0). */     
int sdp_audio_codec_add_to_bearer_cap(struct gsm_mncc_bearer_cap *bearer_cap, const struct sdp_audio_codec *codec)
{
        const struct codec_mapping *m;
        int added = 0;            
        foreach_codec_mapping(m) {
                int i;       
                if (strcmp(m->sdp.subtype_name, codec->subtype_name))
                        continue;
                /* TODO also match rate and fmtp? */
                for (i = 0; i < m->speech_ver_count; i++)
                        added += bearer_cap_add_speech_ver(bearer_cap, m->speech_ver[i]);
        }            
        return added;
}

In the codec mapping we do have several AMR related entries:

        {
                .sdp = {
                        .payload_type = 112,
                        .subtype_name = "AMR",
                        .rate = 8000,
                        /* AMR is always octet-aligned in 2G and 3G RAN, so this fmtp is signalled to remote call legs.
                         * So far, fmtp is ignored in incoming SIP SDP, so an incoming SDP without 'octet-align=1' will
                         * match with this entry; we will still reply with 'octet-align=1', which often works out. */
                        .fmtp = "octet-align=1",
                },
                .mgcp = CODEC_AMR_8000_1,

So AFAIU, the MT Bearer Capability does not necessarily need to match the MO Bearer Capability. But:

  • we need to take what the BSS supports into account, right?
    • for instance, osmo-bts does not support V6 (OHR-AMR, 8-PSK modulated);
  • given that we don't do transcoding, we're limited to what the MO side supports;
    • V6 (OHR-AMR) is clearly not reported as supported by SE K800i, so why do we include it in MT Setup?

neels does that make sense to you?

As was requested in the IRC, adding MO + MT PCAPs with gsmtap logging included.
