Rohde & Schwarz validates first 5G RRM conformance tests with the R&S TS-RRM test system
The Global Certification Forum GCF and PTCRB certification organization have accepted first test case validations in various FR1 and LTE band combinations using the new Rohde & Schwarz R&S TS RRM 5G radio resource management (RRM) conformance test system. The solution is the latest addition to a successful family of RRM conformance test systems. The updated version of the R&S TS RRM has gone through a certification process, ensuring that the solution is suitable for the 5G RRM requirements defined in the 3GPP specifications and is now certified by GCF as platform 296. RRM testing, as required by GCF and PTCRB, is a combination of several protocol and RF test methods. It is used to determine the reaction time of a cellphone to a changing RF signal and the time it takes for the device to switch to different signal sources.
Rohde & Schwarz is well known as a one-stop solutions supplier for conformance and operator acceptance testing from 2G through LTE. The updated version of the R&S TS RRM now features also 5G NR signaling functionality, thanks to the inclusion of the new R&S CMX500 radio communication tester. As a result, the solution now offers coverage for LTE, WCDMA, and 5G technologies. The integrated test system, operated by the sequencer software R&S CONTEST, offers highly efficient and precise, reproducible measurement results.
