- Test cases include device certification tests for radio
frequency demodulation and radio resource management for frequency
band n78
- First test tool validation for radio frequency performance
four-component carrier aggregation downlink test cases also
secured
- Keysight extends leadership with coverage of 98% of all 5G NR
validated test cases
Keysight Technologies, Inc. (NYSE: KEYS) gained approval for the
industry’s first 5G New Radio (NR) Release 16 (Rel-16) power saving
test cases for demodulation and radio resource management (RRM) in
the n78 frequency band. The validated test cases, which are for use
with Keysight’s 5G network emulation conformance test platform
(TP168), were obtained at the recent Conformance Agreement Group
(CAG) #75 meeting of the Global Certification Forum (GCF).
Optimizing power consumption is a key focus for 5G NR, with
targeted improvements including extended battery life for device
users. 3GPP Rel-16 addresses this need with new features that help
reduce power consumption, such as RRM monitoring relaxations for
devices not at a cell edge or with low mobility. Keysight’s
approved test cases enable certification test for devices with
these features to ensure they successfully pass the conformance
criteria.
Keysight also received approval at CAG #75 for the first test
tool validation covering radio frequency (RF) performance
four-component carrier (4CC) aggregation downlink test cases.
Enabling 4CC aggregation will boost wireless throughput rates for
faster downloads and better performance.
With the addition of these test cases available through the
S8705A RF/RRM DVT and Conformance Toolset, Keysight extends its
test case leadership by having the greatest number of new test case
/ band validations and activating the greatest number of new work
items now available for certification testing. Currently, Keysight
leads the industry with coverage of 98% of all 5G NR-validated test
cases.
Muthu Kumaran, General Manager of Keysight’s Device
Acceptance Solutions, said: “Power Saving is a priority for the
5G NR industry and Keysight is committed to supporting the rollout
of these features. In addition to securing the Release 16
demodulation and RRM validated test cases, we are working on the
new power-saving test cases for Release 17. These new validated
test cases firmly cement Keysight’s leadership of having the best
5G NR test case coverage in the industry at 98%.”
