Communication How to check 5g base station

What is packet communication in 5G?

Packet communication is central to the 5G new radio (NR) interface. This topic presents the communication flow between the 5G base station (gNB) and user equipment (UE) nodes, explaining the uplink (UL) and downlink (DL) transmission. System-level simulation involves the transmission of various packet types in both UL and DL directions.

Why do base stations need a 5G conformance test?

Thanks to the much faster, more reliable, and near-instant connections that come with the 5G, we now see a variety of innovative and comprehensive mobile wireless communication applications every day. Base stations must now pass new conformance tests to ensure they deliver on their promises.

Are 5G NR base stations 3GPP-compliant?

Every 5G NR base station or UE manufacturer must pass all the necessary tests before releasing the products to market. Otherwise, the products do not have 3GPP-compliant recognition and are not usable for network deployment. We start with a quick overview of 3GPP base station conformance testing requirements.

Which signal analyzer is best for 5G NR base stations?

The N9032B PXA and N9042B UXA signal analyzers are by far the most advanced signal analysis products to fulfill the latest testing requirements for 5G NR base stations. These solutions perform up to 40% faster with the new CPU to help you quickly make computation-intensive measurements, such as demodulation and EVM.
