Spirent Communications System Emulates Complex WCDMA Networks
September 09, 2003
Spirent Communications has announced a significant new release of functionality
for its AirAccess WCDMA Network Emulator. The AirAccess WCDMA system allows
network operators and mobile device manufacturers to verify the performance
and interoperability of WCDMA User Equipment (UE) and services using a
unique “network in a box” solution. The enhanced emulation is demonstration
of Spirent’s commitment to delivering innovative wireless test solutions
that help accelerate the profitable deployment of WCDMA technologies.
“Spirent is dedicated to helping ensure the successful rollout of WCDMA”
states Richard Catmur, wireless business development director for Spirent
Communications’ Wireless group. “We are constantly evolving our products
to reflect dynamic test specifications and customer requirements. These
AirAccess WCDMA enhancements ensure that our customers will get the most
thorough evaluation possible of their new products and services.”
With its powerful feature set and active protocol stack, the AirAccess
WCDMA resembles a real network much more closely than do script-driven
protocol testers or manufacturing-oriented base station emulators. Unlike
some competitive products, AirAccess WCDMA helps characterise WCDMA UE
performance during all stages of development and deployment. AirAccess
WCDMA is a development of the CS100 platform, acquired by Spirent from
UbiNetics in September of 2002.
AirAccess WCDMA is driven by a powerful, easy-to-use GUI which gives
complete real-time control over network configuration and parameters.
This helps to anticipate and resolve potential interoperability issues
faster and with greater accuracy than ever before. New functionalities
within the AirAccess WCDMA platform include:
- Support of up to six cells, enabling more thorough testing of UEs in
a live WCDMA network environment on a tabletop. The behaviour of each
cell is individually configurable, allowing thorough verification of UE
cell selection and re-selection performance, in addition to call processing
in a multi-cell environment; and
- Addition of protocol emulation required to execute 3GPP TS 34.121 Chapter
8 Radio Resource Management (RRM) conformance tests. AirAccess WCDMA integrates
with Spirent’s UMTS Automatic Test System (U-ATS) to provide the most
complete coverage of the RRM (Chapter 8) tests currently available.
