How to Benchmark 5G Devices

Emulating real-world conditions to test 5G devices

To benchmark its performance, a 5G device must be subjected to a wide range of network cell configuration and radio channel conditions. Most mandated test plans cover just some of the network configurations and parameters a device will encounter in the real world using simplified RF propagation and interference conditions. The emulation of real-world signal propagation and 5G base stations is needed to evaluate accurately how the device performs in the field.

The emulation enables the 5G device to be tested against repeatable and realistic mobility scenarios. Adding real-world logs from production networks into the testing workflow ensures testing reflects the actual user experience. To stress the device and verify its performance in demanding conditions, use field-measured geometrical channel models, high-capacity fading options, and network cell configurations that replicate specific operator network capabilities.
