R: Re: GPRS Vs EDGE - Trying to decode my own sessions

[Luca Bongiorni]

Hi all,

just to explain what i mean, i've attached a sample and the log from layer23.

http://pastebin.com/pepx0tdv

As you can see from the log i got the immediate-assign. and the i can see the slots.

The only thing that i could be strange is the signal strength that sometimes is good and sometimes reaches -100 dBm.

Here is the gprsdecode's output: http://pastebin.com/p7XrtKAt

Obviously i tried other ARFCNs of all operators (with different c118/c123, FTDI cable) and i got always the same behaviour.

Have you some hints to suggest?


Tomorrow i will try with some DP-L10 and pubblish the relative results.


P.S: As i already stated, Nohl's samples are well decoded and showed into wireshark.


Regards,
Luca
