NEW PRODUCT DESCRIPTIONS

GCF/PTCRB Conformance Test Toolkits

MX785220A/21A MX785230A/31A MX785250A/51A

A key part of the market introduction of a new 3G mobile phoneis to prove that it conforms to the 3GPP standards. This is done through a formal conformance testing process defined by the Global Certification Forum (GCF) and agreed by its members, made up of the 3G manufacturers and the network operators. A similar process is defined by the PCS Type Certification Review Board (PTCRB) for US frequency bands. For signaling protocols the mobile terminal must pass the con- formance tests defined in 3GPP specification TS34.123. For 3GPPP Release 99 terminals the GCF/PTCRB has defined an initial set of high priority test cases that must be run against a W-CDMA or dual mode terminal. These test are detailed in GCF Work Item 010. Currently there are approximately 400 tests in WI-010. Further Work Items have been defined to cover Release 99 Enhancements (WI-012), Release 4/5 features (WI-013) and HSDPA (WI-014). The Anritsu Protocol Test System (PTS) has been designed to run all the TTCN conformance test cases in TS34.123. MX785220A GCF Conformance Test Toolkit for Release 99 (Work Item 010) de- liversspecifically the WI-010 test cases for the PTS. MX785221A delivers the Release 99 (WI-010) test cases for PTCRB ap- proval using the PTS. Further toolkits (MX785230A/31A and MX785250A/51A) will deliver test cases for WI-012 and WI-014.(For further information see page 288)

Pre-validation of 3G UE Interoperability Testing (IOT)

MX848055A NSL Platform

The NSL (Network Simulation Library) is a PC software productthat offers pre-validation of interoperability testing (IOT) between a 3G UE and a 3G network when it is used in combination with the MD8480A/B W-CDMA Signaling Tester functioning as a BTS simulator. The MX848055A NSL Platform enables execution of test cases provided in the optional NSL Scenario Basic Pack (MX848055A- 01) or NSL Scenario Advanced Pack (MX848055A-02) using a GUI (Graphical User Interface) execution environment with an easy-to-view display of test items and results. The MX848055A-01 NSL Scenario Basic Pack enables simula- tion of the basic overall operation of various services such as Voice, Packet (IP/PPP), Video Call, SMS, and Multicall. The MX848055A-02 NSL Scenario Advanced Pack enables simulation of more complex overall operation of these services, such as a handover test and rate change. Thus, tests can be performed while considering actual operation status.(For further information see page 294) http://www.anritsu.com 20
