Testing the 3GPP N2 interface is an essential task, as it enables connection from the AMF to the 5GC. Evolver offers full N2 interface support, allowing individual and mass customised testing – at scale – for 5G service assurance and node validation. Control and User Plane Separation, commonly known as CUPS, was introduced in 3GPP R14 The post Comprehensive testing of the 3GPP N2 interface from the 5G gNodeB appeared first on Emblasoft.

Rohde & Schwarz has upgraded the R&S CMP200 radio communication tester with a new option for small cell testing. Qualcomm Technologies has validated the solution, and it is now supported by the Qualcomm® Development Acceleration Resource Toolkit (QDART) for Small Cells. Manufacturers of small cell infrastructure who integrate the Qualcomm® FSM100 5G RAN Platform in their products can expect that the R&S CMP200 fulfils all necessary hardware development and production test requirements.

As of October 1, 2021, China Mobile requires all 5G enabled mobile phones to support voice services over 5G NR (VoNR). Accordingly, the network operator has announced corresponding audio quality test cases. China Mobile relies on the R&S CMX500 radio communication tester from Rohde & Schwarz for 5G VoNR test verification, and the first acceptance tests have already been performed.

As 5G networks are being rolled out globally, the evolution of the 5G NR standard continues. With Release 17, 3GPP will extend the frequency support of 5G NR mmWave bands into the unlicensed spectrum up to 71 GHz, a frequency band traditionally used by non-cellular standards like IEEE 802.11ad and 11ay. To address new testing challenges related to this bandwidth extension and to evaluate the performance of the latest generation RF transceiver chipsets, Rohde & Schwarz and Sivers Semiconductors teamed up to test RF transceivers for 5G NR up to 71 GHz.

Multiple options for realistic emulation of the N1 interface, including network slicing, to validate 5G Mobility Management The N1 interface is an essential component for mobility management in 5G networks. It’s a transparent interface that transfers UE information regarding connection, mobility and sessions to the Access and Mobility Management Function (AMF) – similar to the The post Comprehensive testing of N1 interface is essential for validating 5G MM appeared first on Emblasoft.

The Nokia 5G lab will test 5G products and support growing sales and supply chain operations in the region.

5G roaming will be just as important for operator revenues as roaming on previous generation networks. An important step will be the transition to full 5G SA networks – but how can operators test 5G SA control-plane signalling for 5G SA roaming without a 5G Core? Emblasoft, together with Electryon and its Tier 1 operator The post How do you test 5G SA control-plane signalling for roaming without a 5G Core? appeared first on Emblasoft.

5G wireless technology promises a revolution in communications with substantially increased data speeds, significant capacity expansion, improved reliability, and much lower latency. By 2030, the 5G market is expected to be around $720 billion, according to IDTechEx latest technology forecast and report. Leveraging 5G-enabled communications, a large number of applications and services are being launched The post Importance of 5G Network Testing appeared first on SCALABLE Network Technologies.

The Diameter signalling protocol is the foundation of the core EPS and 4G LTE technology. But with LTE connections still growing and 5G NSA still relying on Diameter, it’s essential that operators and equipment makers have a comprehensive, scalable simulation and testing tool that can simulate realistic Diameter traffic patterns. Diameter is the de facto The post Simulation and testing of Diameter protocol will remain essential for 5G NSA appeared first on Emblasoft.
