W-CDMA simulation library for protocol tests of 3G handsets
June 21, 2004
Anritsu Corporation (President: Akira Shiomi) announced that it is accepting orders for its new MX785281A W-CDMA Network Simulation Library, the test sequence program (test case) that enables to perform protocol tests of W-CDMA 3G mobile phone terminals conforming to 3GPP standards (Ver. Mar.03).
When the MX785281A is installed in a control PC and combined with MD8480B W-CDMA Signalling Tester (artificial base station), the operation of mobile phone terminals can be checked in the development phase under almost the same environment as real W-CDMA mobile phone network. Smooth shift to the final operation check test on real network realizes the enhancement of development efficiency and cost reduction. Furthermore, Anritsu contributes to smooth development of W-CDMA 3G mobile phone terminals that are globalizing worldwide such as in Europe and Asian countries.
Development Background
The 3G mobile phone service that is rapidly spreading in Japan is being introduced in Europe and Asian countries. Under such circumstances, Japanese and overseas terminal makers are actively engaged in the development and verification of W-CDMA mobile phone terminals.
Terminal makers must go off to the site where the service will be introduced and conduct the final protocol test of W-CDMA 3G mobile phone terminals by connecting to real network on site. The development of high-quality mobile phone terminals is crucial for smooth testing on real network and cost saving.
Therefore, each terminal maker requires the solution that enables the development of mobile phone terminals for smooth final protocol testing on real network.
To meet such requirements, Anritsu has developed MX785281A W-CDMA
Network Simulation Library. This product provides the test case
developed jointly by Anritsu and NTT DoCoMo, Inc. based on NTT DoCoMo,
Inc's experience of W-CDMA 3G mobile phone service operation. The
verification of terminal operations is realized under almost the
same environment as real network. Before shifting to the final protocol
test on site, high-quality mobile phones can be developed efficiently.
This, finally, contributes to the smooth development of W-CDMA 3G
mobile phone terminals that are globalizing.
Anritsu further contributes to the smooth introduction and operation of the 3G mobile phone service all over the world by offering innovative solutions.
Product Outline
MX785281A W-CDMA Network Simulation Library is the test case for protocol tests that verifies communication quality in the development of W-CDMA 3G mobile phone terminals.
When MX785281A is installed in a control PC and combined with MD8480B
Signalling Tester, a series of connection sequence test is achieved
for actually-operated major services such as voice communication
(AMR), packet communication (PPP/IP), SMS], supplementary services
(e.g. call hold, call forwarding, caller ID) and multi call (voice/packet)
under almost the same environment as real 3G network.
Major Functions and Performance
* Protocol testing that conforms to 3GPP standards (Ver. Mar.03)
- Protocol (connection sequence) tests of W-CDMA 3G mobile phone
terminals can be performed conforming to 3GPP standards (Ver. Mar.03).
*One-click execution of a test case - The dedicated execution environment
offers easy one-click execution of a test case. Also, a standard
protocol analyzer is equipped for easy-to-view test results and
log information.
Main Feature
*A test case created based on the actually-operated service - MX785281A
is not only the test case that confirms to 3GPP standards, but created
based on the experience of W-CDMA 3G mobile phone service operation.
The test case becomes the reference for development and verification
of mobile phone terminals.
*A test case whose operation has been checked with real mobile
phone terminals - MX785281A is the test case whose operation has
been checked with real W-CDMA 3G mobile phone terminals, therefore,
objective and highly reliable verification of operations can be
performed.
Target Markets and Applications
*Development and verification markets of W-CDMA-system mobile phone terminals
