  1. LTE pre-SI Test SuiteImplementation in TTCN3: A case study

  2. Introduction

  3. UE Modem Development & Validation Phases Conformance Testing Protocol Layers Certification Support Field Testing Physical and RF Layer Requirement Testing Advance Features Performance & Stress Testing Operator Acceptance Testing OS Porting & Peripherals IOT • Pre-SI phase: Protocol layers such as Physical Layer, L2 and L3 consisting of MAC, RRC, RLC, NAS & PDCP layers are developed independently • SI Phase: Protocol layers (L2 &3) are integrated with physical layer, RF and other components or modules and ported to UE modem • Post-SI Phase: the UE modem undergoes development and validation with focus on customer acceptance, certification testing etc. Pre-SI SI Post-SI

  4. Incremental Development & Testing Test Case Execution Protocol Stack Development/Enhancement • Release 8 • Release 9 • Release 10 • Test Case Development/Enhancement • Phase-1 • Phase-2 • Phase-3 • ……… • Host Environment Development • Phase-1 • Phase-2 • Phase-3 • ………

  7. Test Environment Pre-SI Test Suite in TTCN-3 Network Side Emulator 2G/3G/4G UE System Adaptation Layer / NAS System Adaptation Layer System Adaptation Layer Layer 3 AT/MMI Commands 2G/3G/ L2 Layer 4G LTE (PDCP/RLC/MAC) Layer 2 L1 MAC Adaptation Layer MAC Adaptation Layer MSG Q or UDP/IP • The test cases are executed using host based tri-mode automation framework. • It supports validation of both LTE and legacy technologies. • The framework and UE protocol stack interact with each other in message queues and also preserves LTE frame timing.

  8. Sample Scenario#1 LTE [Packet Call] CS-FB call UMTS Add a bearer End CS-FB call back to LTE with both bearers. UMTS MT Voice Call Voice Call End LTE Web Browsing CS-fall back FTP Download

  9. Sample Scenario#2 LTE UMTS UE circulates around cells of different RATs UMTS LTE eNodeB-1 NodeB-1 NodeB-2 eNodeB-2

  10. Addressing Challenges • Test scenario identification is one of the key challenges in the development of the pre-SI Test suite due to limitations and evolution of protocol stack or host environment. • These challenges are addressed ensuring the following aspects: • Extensive knowledge of standard and release enhancements in multi RAT context • Extensive knowledge in SI and post-SI test areas • Test coverage to replicate field or real life scenarios including negative and concurrent scenarios etc • Test cases were converted in to message flows followed by scripting which requires excellent understanding of the interaction between UE modem and network.
