UeSIM UE Emulation Solutions for Radio Access Network Testing

Assess the Complete Performance of the Network

With the increasing complexity of mobile network ecosystems and the evolution of legacy Radio Access Network technologies, accurate and efficient continuous standards conformance testing and network performance verification are more crucial than ever before. 

Full Protocol Stack Validation from Layer 1 to Layer 7

UeSIM UE emulation solutions enable infrastructure vendors, chipset providers and mobile operators to validate end-to-end Radio Access Network performance by emulating real network traffic over both radio and O-RAN fronthaul interfaces. Fully scalable, our systems have been designed to accelerate multi-standard end-to-end network verification by generating IP traffic load, simulating applications running on thousands of concurrent devices operating real voice and data sessions. Both conducted and live testing across the full range of frequencies are supported, with the possibility to cover real-world scenarios spanning protocol and load testing in the lab to field testing, trials and deployments.

Validate 5G RAN functionality and performance both in field and lab testing

• 5G RAN performance validation

• Full protocol stack assessment, layer 1 to 7

• Functional testing – layer by layer - up to thousands UEs

• Load testing of 5G RAN, NSA/SA modes

• O-RAN fronthaul interface support with different 5G RAN split architectures options

Accelerate IoT Network Deployment Time

IoT network design is fundamentally different from a traditional network structure involving only smartphone devices (and their irregularly shaped traffic), in that the majority of IoT devices will require relatively low power and throughput, with much more predictable traffic transmission patterns. However, both the sheer number of connected devices and their related control plane messaging will place an unprecedented set of demands on the mobile infrastructure. UeSIM UE emulation solution offers the unique capability to verify the functionality of a complex network ecosystem across both newest and legacy access technologies.  

Perform Massive UE Emulation for Thorough gNB Validation

Network Equipment Manufacturers can perform full-stack testing for LTE and 5G NR to verify Radio Access Networks via both radio and O-RAN fronthaul interfaces. Fully scalable, UeSIM enables massive UE emulation to ensure functionality across all air interfaces. Both conducted and live testing across the full range of frequencies are supported, with the possibility to cover real-world scenarios spanning protocol and load testing in the lab to field testing, trials and deployments. 

This solution optionally includes core network emulation, which delivers complete gNB wrap-around testing.  With UeSIM providing thorough performance and load testing on the radio side of the base station, the ability to simultaneously drive the network side of the gNB assures that testing is conducted in complex, realistic conditions that thoroughly verify all layers of functionality.

Verify Complex Network Ecosystems 

Designed for multi-standard end-to-end mobile network verification, UeSIM UE emulation solutions enable operators to validate complex network environments by emulating real network traffic over both the radio and the O-RAN fronthaul interfaces. By verifying functionality across all air interfaces, mobile operators can cover real-world scenarios to achieve thorough validation, also recreating traffic surges similar to those generated by a variety of real smartphones and applications.
