Osmocom GPRS Packet Control Unit (PCU); mirrored from git://git.osmocom.org/osmo-pcu
This repository contains a C/C++-language implementation of a GPRS
Packet Control Unit, as specified by ETSI/3GPP. It is part of the
Osmocom Open Source Mobile Communications
project.
The Packet Control Unit is terminating the Layer 2 (RLC/MAC) of the GPRS
radio interface and adapting it to the Gb Interface (BSSGP+NS Protocol)
towards the SGSN.
The PCU interfaces with the physical layer of the radio interface.
OsmoPCU is typically used co-located with the BTS, specifically
OsmoBTS.
For legacy BTSs that run proprietary sotware without an interface to
OsmoPCU, you may also co-locate it with the BSC, specifically
OsmoBSC
The official homepage of the project is
https://osmocom.org/projects/osmopcu/wiki/OsmoPCU
You can clone from the official osmo-pcu.git repository using
git clone https://gitea.osmocom.org/cellular-infrastructure/osmo-pcu
There is a web interface at https://gitea.osmocom.org/cellular-infrastructure/osmo-pcu
We provide a
user manual
as well as a
vty reference manual
Please note that a lot of the PCU configuration actually happens inside
the BSC, which passes this configuration via A-bis OML to the BTS, which
then in turn passes it via the PCU socket into OsmoPCU.
