Find out what's included and explore available upgrade options from Keysight.
Keysight’s 5G Test Application (TA) Framework controls the UXM 5G network emulator platform which supports 4G LTE as well as both 5G NR deployment modes, Non-Standalone (NSA) and Standalone (SA). The S8713A Custom Protocol Development (CPD) Toolset builds on this capability and provides access to service access points of control and observation (PCO’s) in the stack, plus a toolset for rapid encode/decoding of messages and data. This allows customization of higher-layer NAS/RRC procedures and user plane packets. This is enabled using a C# development environment based on Microsoft Visual Studio 2019.
The S8713A toolset offers:
o Direct access to Signaling Radio Bearer (SRB)
o Direct access to Data Radio Bearer (DRB)
o Customizable NAS/AS Control Plane signaling and message encodes/decodes
The S8713A Custom Protocol Development Toolset is part of Keysight’s 5G Network Emulation Solution portfolio that addresses the entire device development workflow from early design to acceptance and manufacturing. It offers a comprehensive and unique solution that addresses the special need to develop and test proprietary higher layer protocol.
