Open RAN Radio Unit Toolset for mMIMO ULPI Testing

Flyers

mMIMO ULPI (Massive Multiple-Input Multiple-Output Uplink Performance Improvement) is a technology used in 5G networks to enhance uplink communications, which is the data sent from users' devices to the network. It improves signal quality and reliability, especially at the cell edges, increases network capacity by allowing more simultaneous connections, and enhances spectral efficiency for higher data rates. This technology provides better coverage and a more robust network performance, benefiting both users and telecom operators by offering a cost-effective solution to improve network efficiency.

Open RAN Radio Unit Toolset provides solution for wrap-around mMIMO Beamforming, ULPI capable Open Radio Unit (O-RU) testing.

With the solution user can confirm that O-RU accepts standard compliant messages from O-DU including following use cases:

  • O-RU tracking of fast-moving UE.
  • O-RU can support ‘n’ layer MU-MIMO.
  • O-RU frequency offset estimation tracking.
  • Ensure reported SINR accuracy.
  • Performance at varying SINR.
