Ensuring new 5G mobile devices comply with mobile network operators' (MNOs) infrastructure requires performing device acceptance testing. Protocol carrier acceptance consists of running protocol tests to verify the signaling between a mobile device and the network. Network operators must stress-test devices to ensure they meet customer expectations and are interoperable. The test must include a wide range of test scenarios and cases, including signaling, performance, and application tests. The tests should cover sub-6 GHz (FR1) and mmWave (FR2) frequencies for both non-standalone (NSA) and standalone (SA) modes. Some MNO test plans include numerous SIM profiles.
Engineers require comprehensive access to protocol carrier acceptance test plans mandated by major operators. They will need to create, manage, and execute test campaigns in a specific sequence for various devices and firmware. Viewing the signaling trace during the test execution helps save time by uncovering issues early. Once the results are available, engineers can use the log files for troubleshooting. The ability to filter test information helps identify and resolve issues faster.
