Breakthrough to Real 4G

LTE-Advanced (LTE Rel.10 and beyond) standardization started to respond to rapidly growing traffic by the wide spread of smart phone devices. It has to achieve higher level of system performance than LTE Rel.8, while maintaining the backward compatibility. In response, the radio access interface specification for LTE-Advanced has been developed accordingly in the beginning of 2011. ITU-T has announced new requirements in terms of spectral efficiency, higher bandwidth, lower latency and so forth. To meet these competitive requirements, a series of new technologies have been discussed to introduce into LTE-Advanced, such as Carrier Aggregation, Enhanced Uplink Multi-antenna Transmission, CoMP Reception in Uplink and so forth.LTE-Advanced will enable 1Gbps downlink bandwidth on top of the existing LTE service and open a new era of true wireless broadband service in the near future.

LTE eNB Evaluation Methodology

LTE’s radio interface testing methodology has been developed along with the specifications for LTE network implementation, yet a de facto way of evaluating the whole LTE eNB system does not exist as of today. There are testing standards in 3GPP that are focused on separated elements (layers) of User Equipment (UE) and eNB, as listed below. However, specification of integrated methodology for the system evaluation has not been established, so the NEMs and operators are evaluating their equipment as a system with their own methodology from the experiences in legacy mobile development.

• TS 36.101 User Equipment (UE) radio transmission and reception

• TS 36.104 Base Station (BS) radio transmission and reception

• TS 36.133 E-UTRA Requirements for support of radio resource management

• TS 36.141 Base Station (BS) conformance testing • TS 36.211 Physical channels and modulation• TS 36.212 Multiplexing and channel coding • TS 36.213 Physical layer procedures • TS 36.214 Physical layer - Measurements • TS 36.321 Medium Access Control (MAC) protocol

specification

In today’s advanced wireless technology, a single evaluation method for separate basic functionalities is inadequate. The industry needs a new approach to evaluate the comprehensive performances of the eNB, which carries out the most complicated functionality in E-UTRAN. As a matter of fact, eNB comprises the largest number of network nodes in the LTE system, and the biggest capital expenditure is invested to deploying the eNB. At Artiza Networks, we propose “LTE eNB Evaluation Methodology,” setting the new standard of system evaluation for the LTE eNB. Artiza LTE eNB Tester DuoSIM is a complete test suite including C-plane test to evaluate radio resource management, U-plane QoS test, C/U combined test, NAS test, and various types of system evaluation. As the first trial in the industry, Artiza has developed a comprehensive methodology for operators’ and manufacturers’ QA team to overcome a big challenge of effective evaluation of LTE eNB ever. Please access “LTE Tutorial” in Artiza website (http://www.artizanetworks.com) to learn more about the details.

Artiza LTE Tester DuoSIM is available with different configurations to accommodate various user needs. Each configuration corresponds to a different model in DuoSIM series products, such as DuoSIM-1000, DuoSIM-840, DuoSIM-420, and DuoSIM-64, where the model number stands for the supported UE simulation capacity. DuoSIM-1000 and DuoSIM-840 are the first market-proven products in the industry for macrocell eNB development. DuoSIM-420 is best suited for omicell to macrocell eNB testing, and DuoSIM-64 provides a compact testing platform that meets pico/femtocell eNB testing. All of the resources, including hardware blades installed in the system and test data generated from Artiza LTE Testers DuoSIM, are compatible and portable across different platforms. DuoSIM capacity coverage is shown in Figure 6.

Powerful Hardware Blades in ATCA platform: AZP-600/1400

Artiza’s LTE eNB Tester hardware comprises a series of powerful hardware, baseband blade, sRIO (serial Rapid I/O) switching blade, and DSP processing blades/submodules in ATCA platform. One DuoSIM consists of four blades, each responsible for UL-baseband, DL-baseband, UE protocol processing (UE-DSP), and S1/X2 protocol processing (S1/X2-DSP). The blade-oriented hardware architecture enables flexible testbed configuration to meet various vendor’s requirements, such as capacity, performance, and number of sectors.

Baseband Blade

The outstanding testing capacity of 1,000 UEs/sector is the first in the industry, made possible by high-performance baseband processing units with a number of FPGAs/DSPs on a blade. This original blade is entirely developed by Artiza’ s in-house engineering team from the PCB (20Kpins) design to FPGA logical circuit and DSP software implementation, well crafted to the level of artistic work (Figure 7). With the special blade hardware design, the product has the full control of baseband processing, especially for PHY/MAC layers testing, becoming one of the most important factors for LTE eNB performance. In addition to the legacy RF (with RF Unit) with I/Q interface, use of CPRI/OBSAI interface has tremendously improved the test efficiency.

DSP Array Blade

Another powerful ATCA blade becomes available for DuoSIM systems to generate higher traffic on C-plane and U-plane via Uu and S1/X2 interfaces. The new blade is an array of powerful DSP processors consisting of 8 DSP submodules with traffic engines and large scale FPGAs (Figure 8). The blade comes with two options (AN2-B-PRM-01/ AN2-B-PRM-02), which deal with Uu and S1/X2 interfaces respectively. For Uu interface, generated traffic is passed through the 10-Gbps sRIO interface on backplane into baseband blade. And for S1/X2 interface, traffic is through the 10GbE or 1GbE for S1/X2 interface on the front panel. This powerful architecture achieves simulation of various protocols and tremendously high capacity per chassis.

Test ApplicationsComplete Testing Solutions

Artiza’s DuoSIM test application has versatile functionalities to evaluate LTE nodes, covering from independent C-plane and U-plane testing to the comprehensive C/U combined testing. To support the array of functionalities and the parameter settings, series of software are provided, i.e., Parameter Composer, Chassis Configurator, SDL Editor, Message Editor and Load Scheduler. DuoSIM Manager is the main application, and it is responsible for configuring the simulator hardware, running simulation, and for retrieving results and statistics.

DuoSIM Parameter Composer

DuoSIM Parameter Composer allows users to set parameters for UE and S1/X2 simulation. UE-side parameters include E-UTRAN/Cell/UE/Subscriber/Logical Channel/Sequence, and S1/X2-side configurations include Physical Setup, Port Settings, IP addresses, nodes (MME/S-GW/Neighbor eNB) and Sequence Settings.

As a UE-SIM, its unique architecture to manage subscriber tables, UE tables, and the subscriber table maintained in eNB enables to simulate a very large number of independent UEs. On the S1/X2-side, multiple core network nodes and radio access network can be simulated, and it has the capability of handling up to 6,000 UE connections simultaneously.

The relationship between the sequences on both UE and S1/X2-sides can be looked up with a system-wide unique identifier, SysConnID, as shown in Figure 9. This feature is especially useful when tracking how sequences generated on one side (e.g., UE-SIM) are handled on the other side (e.g., S1/X2-SIM).

SDL Engine with Auto IE Response Functionality

One of the most powerful functionalities of our test software is the SDL (Subscription Description Language) Engine. For easy configuration with the SDL engine, our test software comes with the state machine oriented SDL Editor (Figure 10) and RRC ASN.1 Message Editor (Figure 11). The powerful Message Editor can generate ASN.1 IE (Information Element) in RRC message with easy to use graphical user interface. In an RRC testing, the auto IE response function is a very effective evaluation tool for the internal protocol procedure. This tool enables intelligent IE substitution (from received packet, parameter table, or auto generation) on outgoing packets and automates the time-consuming protocol evaluation. n the SDL engine, user definable variables and timers are also useful to make complicated test sequence. Furthermore, the U-plane test capability enables QoS measurement on BER (Bit Error Rate)/PER (Packet Error Rate) and on latency.

Traffic Generation from Micro to Macro

DuoSIM Manger offers a series of procedure oriented testing tools for C/U-plane performance evaluation. One of the most critical procedures for LTE eNB evaluation is RACH preamble. There are 64 possible preamble sequences in one radio subframe, and UE-SIM is capable of generating any types of the sequences to provide a complete RACH preamble testing (Figure 12). DuoSIM can also generate critical conditions with micro busty traffic on most, if not all, of important procedures on Uu and S1/X2 interfaces.

In terms of macro traffic stand point, Load Scheduler (Figure 13) is a powerful tool to discover unexpected problems that arise only in real traffic conditions, caused by resource (memory/radio resource table/connection table) leaking and changes in task priorities in protocol software processing. Statistic information is most important to understand the network performance. All the counts on C-plane and U-plane can be saved for long duration (i.e., 72 hours) and U-plane counts can be displayed per Cell, UE and Logical Channel.

ApplicationLayerTester

UE-SIM

DuoSIM can be connected with legacy IP testers by Ethernet interface for Application Layer Testing as shown in Figure 16. It has great flexibility to control the external testers in precise timings. Scripting to control the IP tester can be embedded into any C-plane state in test sequences. In this way, existing resources can be fully utilized to extend the functionalities of DuoSIM.

NAS Simulation Features

Non Access Stratum (NAS) Simulation feature is a critical functionality of LTE UE Simulator. NAS is the signaling protocol terminates at the MME, and it is responsible for the generation and allocation of temporary identities of the UEs. NAS protocol is part of the RRC protocol of C-plane shown in Figure 14. This feature allows simulation of an environment that resembles the real-life operating conditions of the MME, S-GW and P-GW. NAS Testing Configurations with DuoSIM are shown in Figure 16.

Application Layer Testing Features

User’s IP traffic over U-plane is transmitted over PDCP layer in Uu Interface as shown in Figure 17. Real user data traffic can be very complex and unpredictable, but it is crucial to test these conditions before starting the services. An optional Application Layer Testing feature allows generation of application traffic (voice/data/video) from UE-SIM through the entire network nodes to application server at the end. This powerful feature can be used as one of the final acceptance test.

Massive UE Simulation

Once an eNB product has passed the functional and performance testing in the wrap-around configuration, the last step is the system performance testing. This is an effective tool to determine the final quality, and it has been used as an acceptance test by many LTE service operators. Artiza offers by far the highest level of LTE network system testing with Massive UE Simulation achieving the phenomenal capacity, 1,000 UEs per sector (6,000 UEs over 6 sectors) as shown in Figure 12. In order to perform LTE network system testing, Artiza Massive UE simulator supports not only simple NAS layer simulation but also with more complex handover scenarios. In addition, Application Layer Testing features are also supported. Artiza Massive UE simulator allows scripting to communicate with legacy IP testers to perform evaluation with voice, data, and video.
