The present code repository contains a proto-SMSC test framework: a pair of
programs that connect to OsmoHLR in the role of a GSUP-speaking SMSC and allow
the rest of SMS-over-GSUP path to be exercised and tested.

To exercise SMS flow between an MS and the present proto-SMSC, set up your test
environment as follows:

0) Locate branch falconia/os6135 in osmo-hlr and osmo-msc git repositories;
   compile and run osmo-hlr and osmo-msc versions from this branch.

1) Configure OsmoHLR to expect an SMSC at a certain IPA name, and to route
   MO SMS to this SMSC.  Example config:

hlr
 reject-cause not-found plmn-not-allowed
 reject-cause no-proxy net-fail
 gsup
  bind ip 127.0.0.1
  ipa-name Example-HLR
 ussd route prefix *#100# internal own-msisdn
 ussd route prefix *#101# internal own-imsi
 smsc entity Example-SMSC
 smsc route 19990014444 Example-SMSC

In this example the SMSC is operated at SC-address (fake Global Title)
+19990014444 (a number falling into a reserved/invalid range in the North
American Numbering Plan), with IPA name Example-SMSC, and you are configuring
OsmoHLR to map this SC-address to this IPA name.  SM-RP messages addressed to
any other SMSC will be rejected - a user trying to send something to a
commercial operator's SMSC will get an error during SMS send attempt, instead
of her message being sneakily intercepted and diverted to Example-SMSC.

OTOH, if you prefer to operate your network in a guest roaming manner, allowing
foreign SIMs without an actual roaming interconnection in place, and you wish
to operate so that all such guest-roaming users will send their MO SMS to your
SMSC while their phones "think" that they are addressing their native operator's
SMSC, change the last line to:

 smsc default-route Example-SMSC

2) Ensure that your OsmoMSC configuration includes the following bits:

msc
 sms-over-gsup
hlr
 ipa-name Example-MSC

The sms-over-gsup bit should be obvious, but the need for an explicitly set
ipa-name is much less so.  The explicitly set ipa-name doesn't matter for MO
SMS, but it is needed for MT SMS to work.  When an MT-forwardSM.req message
arrives at the MSC from an SMSC, routed via OsmoHLR, the MSC will need to
respond to it, and this response needs to reach the MT-sending SMSC.  These
responses are routed passively by OsmoHLR, and for this passive routing to work,
the sender of the response message needs to include source_name IE.  Thus
explicitly set ipa-name for the MSC becomes a requirement, just like with
inter-MSC handover.

3) Run proto-smsc-daemon like this:

proto-smsc-daemon Example-SMSC mo-sms-log /tmp/sendmt_socket

The first argument is the IPA name this proto-SMSC should give itself (needs to
match OsmoHLR config), the second argument is the name of a log file that will
be opened for writing, and the third argument is the pathname to which a local
UNIX domain socket will be bound.

Any time an MS sends MO SMS to this proto-SMSC, the message will be written
into the line-oriented log file which you named as the second argument to
proto-smsc-daemon.  Here is what messages will look like:

2023-08-25T23:53:01Z Rx MO SM
IMSI: 310xxxxxxxxxxxx
SM-RP-MR: 0x03
SM-RP-DA: SMSC TON=1 NPI=1 1xxxxxxxxxx
SM-RP-OA: MSISDN TON=1 NPI=1 1xxxxxxxxxx
SM-RP-UI: 13 bytes
010304814444000004D4F29C0E

('x' characters in the above fragment are [0-9] digits in reality, but the
 numbers had to be redacted out for privacy, as the test was done on a live
 network that operates with real NANP phone numbers.)

The string of hex digits that makes up the final line of each recorded message
is the GSM 03.40 SMS-SUBMIT TPDU that has been received from the MS in the
SM-RP-UI field.  proto-smsc-daemon writes it out in raw hex, but you can get a
complete decoding by feeding this log file to sms-pdu-decode utility from
FreeCalypso User Phone Tools suite, which is in turn a part of FC host tools
package:

https://www.freecalypso.org/pub/GSM/FreeCalypso/fc-host-tools-latest.tar.bz2

You will need to run sms-pdu-decode with -n option so it will know not to expect
a prepended SC-address in front of the TPDU, as happens in GSM 07.05 - running
the above log fragment through sms-pdu-decode -np, we get the following
decoding:

2023-08-25T23:53:01Z Rx MO SM
IMSI: 310xxxxxxxxxxxx
SM-RP-MR: 0x03
SM-RP-DA: SMSC TON=1 NPI=1 1xxxxxxxxxx

Test

4) To test MT SMS, you will need to compile and install this additional sw
   package (very small):

https://www.freecalypso.org/hg/sms-coding-utils/

To send a test MT SMS, run a shell pipeline like the following:

sms-encode-text 'Message text blah blah' | gen-sms-deliver-pdu 1234 | proto-smsc-sendmt 19990014444 310999-001 /tmp/sendmt_socket

The various bits are:

* The argument to sms-encode-text is the human-level message body to be sent.
  One can also omit this command line argument and supply the message body on
  stdin instead.

* The argument to gen-sms-deliver-pdu is the "From" number to be inserted into
  the SMS-DELIVER TPDU being generated.

* The first argument to proto-smsc-sendmt is the SC-address to be transmitted
  in SM-RP-OA.  This SMSC address is passed through to the MS, and savvy users
  of hacker-friendly MS can see it: it is written into SIM SMS storage which
  can then be read out and decoded, it can be retrieved via GSM 07.05, plus
  other MS-specific options like /pcm/SMS on Pirelli DP-L10 running that phone's
  original proprietary fw.

* The second argument to proto-smsc-sendmt is the IMSI to which the message
  should be sent.  (Key point: MT SMS recipients in SMS-over-GSUP are addressed
  by IMSI, not by MSISDN!)  proto-smsc-sendmt supports FreeCalypso shorthand
  notation for IMSI entry: 310999-001 in this example expands into
  310999000000001.  Of course you can also enter the full IMSI manually, if you
  don't mind torturing your eyes counting all those zeros.

* The third argument to proto-smsc-sendmt is the local UNIX domain socket to
  which the composed GSUP message should be sent; it needs to match the socket
  pathname you gave to proto-smsc-daemon.
