Agenda • Challenges in mobile internet era China mobile’s solution: C-RAN C-RAN progress Proposals for collaboration with Agilent
Collaboration with Agilent System Measurement SDR Research • Physical layer acceleration • L2/L3 signal scheduling • Real-time operating system • Baseband verification • RF specification testing • Channel simulation
C-RAN PoC Test (with GSM/TD-SCDMA/TD-LTE) • Uplink signal sensitivity • EVM/Freq. offset/ phase noise of downlink signal • Consistency of multi-port signals • Beam-forming test • CPRI signal test, e.g. time synchronization • channel simulation • …… Test Requirements
Summary • C-RANis to address the challenges in the mobile internet era. • Agilent could play an important role in C-RAN test. Collaboration makes win-win! Thank you!
