Anli released the first enhanced conformance test of 5g new radio (NR) independent (SA) protocol for network fragmentation and user equipment (UE) energy saving, which was verified on 5g NR mobile equipment test platform me7834nr, which is powered by Xiaolong X65 5g modem-rf system, which is the first release 16 modem-rf system in the world.
Network slicing is an important 5g NR function, which allows specific use cases to be supported on network slicing, which is a set of network resources dynamically configured for this purpose. 3GPP release 16 provides interconnection support from EPC to 5gc for network chips, and provides authentication and authorization control.
Terminal power saving is another area where 3GPP Release 16 defines several new features such as wake up signals, adaptive MIMO layer reduction, enhanced cross-slot scheduling, and loose radio resource management measurements.
Shinya Ajiro, General Manager of Anritsu's Mobile Solutions division, said: "Version 16 of 3GPP is described as the next phase of 5G NR, bringing new use cases and monetization opportunities to vertical industry segments." "We are proud that our partnership with Qualcomm Technologies allows us to help the industry quickly implement and test new features."
Conformance tests corresponding to the core requirements in TS 38.523-1 have been defined by 3GPP in TS 38.331 and have been submitted to 3GPP RAN WG5 by Anritsu. These tests will also be submitted to the GCF CAG and PTCRB PVG for approval at the upcoming meeting.
