The Keysight Landslide O-RAN RIC Test Solution comprehensively tests the near-RT and non-RT RICs for compliance, functionality, performance, and capacity.

Highlights

RIC enables control and optimization of the O-RAN elements with the goal of optimizing overall O-RAN performance. This is achieved through applications called xApps and rApps onboarded onto the near-RT and non-RT RIC, respectively. xApps and rApps are geared toward specific use cases, which represent certain aspects of the O-RAN to be optimized. Examples include traffic steering, energy savings, QoE optimization, and more.

Test the near-RT RIC or the non-RT RIC in isolation, in wraparound testing mode. Alternatively, test in other configurations such as the near-RT and non-RT RICs combined, or as part of a complete O-RAN end-to-end configuration.

Some of the key test objectives that can be addressed include:

  • Interoperability between near-RT and non-RT RICs
  • Interoperability with E2 Nodes
  • Capacity of the RIC in terms of number of subscribers
  • Capacity of the RIC in terms of number of E2 Nodes
  • Performance of the RIC (example: msgs/sec on E2 interface)
  • Verification of different E2 Service Models
  • Functional, interoperability, performance, and capacity testing in the context of specific use cases
  • An intuitive, easy-to-use graphical interface enables quick configuration and execution of tests and analysis of test results. RIC also provides robust automation options including RESTful and Tcl APIs.
