Use Case

O-RU Conformance Testing

Testing O-RAN radio unit (O-RU) conformance to the 5G New Radio (NR) standards requires analyzing the O-RU's RF response. Learn how to perform comprehensive conformance testing with a system synchronized to a common clock and capable of responding to tight timing tolerances.

Use Case

ORAN RIC Functionality Validation

Testing a near-real-time radio access network intelligent controller (RIC) and xApps hosted on the RIC requires a test bed of real user equipment and RAN components connected to an Evolved Packet Core (EPC) or 5GC network. Discover how to validate ORAN RIC functionality with emulation.

Use Case

O-RU Energy-Efficiency Measurements

Measuring the energy efficiency of an O-RU requires an O-RAN distribution unit (O-DU) emulator, a DC power supply, and an RF power sensor. Learn how to measure the energy efficiency of this unit according to ETSI standards.

Use Case

O-DU / O-CU Energy-Efficiency Measurements

Measuring the energy efficiency of an O-DU / O-CU requires O-RU and UE emulators to generate traffic and a core emulator for the backhaul. Explore how to measure the energy efficiency of these units according to ETSI standards.

Use Case

gNB Energy Performance Evaluation

Testing the gNodeB (gNB) energy plane requires assessing its energy efficiency and performance under various conditions. Learn how to ensure product compliance with the latest ETSI standards.
