- 3GPP TS 33.117 Catalogue of general security assurance requirements
- ETSI TS 103 786 Dynamic energy performance measurement method of 5G Base Station (BS)
- ETSI ES 202 706-1 Metrics and measurement method for energy efficiency of wireless access network equipment; Part 1: Power consumption - static measurement method
Open RAN compliance testing is crucial for several reasons:
- Conformance to Standards: Ensure that products meet O-RAN specifications for consistency and reliability.
- Interoperability: Verifies seamless operation of components for a flexible, vendor-neutral network.
- Security: Include checks to ensure product security and network protection.
- Performance and Functionality: Validate end-to-end functionality and performance for deployment standards.
- Efficiency in Deployment: Streamlines deployment by reducing repetitive testing, saving time and resources.
