METHODS, SYSTEMS, AND COMPUTER READABLE MEDIA FOR TESTING RADIO ACCESS NETWORK NODES BY EMULATING BAND-LIMITED RADIO FREQUENCY (RF) AND NUMEROLOGY-CAPABLE UEs IN A WIDEBAND 5G NETWORK

Abstract:

The subject matter described herein includes methods, systems, and computer readable media for testing radio access network nodes by emulating band-limited RF and numerology-capable UEs in wideband networks. One method includes storing, in a database, UE bandwidth and numerology capability profiles for modeling UEs with different bandwidth and numerology capabilities. The method further includes emulating UEs with different bandwidth and numerology capabilities by communicating, over an uplink interface, the bandwidth and numerology capability profiles to a radio access network node under test. The method further includes receiving, over a downlink interface and from the radio access network node under test, bandwidth part and numerology assignments for emulated UEs. The method further includes validating the UE bandwidth part and numerology assignments.
