E6706G Functionality Overview
Standardized over-the-air protocol connections
The E6706G 1xEV-DO lab application includes call processing that supports the
standardized over-the-air protocols. The 1xEV-DO lab application offers the default
packet application used in actual networks for Release 0 and Release A as well as the
test application (FTAP/RTAP, FETAP/RETAP, FMCTAP, RMCTAP) used for parametric
tests for the 1xEV-DO Release 0, Release A, and Release B air interfaces.
The default packet application emulates the actual 1xEV-DO network by providing data
connectivity from the TCP/IP layer (via the rear panel LAN connector) to the access
terminal. Sustained data throughput rates can reach full data rates of 3.1 Mbps to an
AT and 1.8 Mbps from the AT for the E5515C/E mainframe. The E6706G supports simple
IP and basic mobile IP connections and, when combined with the Software Concepts
MOB-IP-SIM, provides full mobile IP support.
The 1xEV-DO test application protocols allow quick and efficient control of the forward
and reverse operation for accurate parametric testing. FTAP/FETAP/FMCTAP provides
packet error rate (PER) measurement capability for RF connections up to 3.1 Mbps.
RTAP/RETAP/RMCTAP provides the ability to control the AT’s reverse link to test such
parameters as code domain power and waveform quality at all of the available reverse
data rates.
eHRPD support
To prepare networks for interoperation with future LTE implementations, the 3GPP2
standard committee has developed a new version of the 1xEV-DO upper layer protocol
stack known as eHRPD. This modified stack provides the upper layer protocols
compatible with the 3GPP EPC. This capability will eventually drive handovers between
LTE and 1xEV-DO. The eHRPD implementation in the 8960 Series 10 builds upon the
existing 1xEV-DO packet data foundation of full throughput MFPA, EMPA, and RoHC
(robust header compression). Working together with the Keysight E7515A, E6706G on
E5515C/E supports non-optimized handover from LTE to eHRPD. The following features
are available on the E6706G lab application:
–– Support for LTE neighbor list setup
–– Support for HSGW context and other settings
–– Prior session restore
–– PDN naming settings for eHRPD
–– Support for network-initiated VSNCP re-sync for IPv4 and IPv6
–– Message to UE for eHRPD test cases
–– Enable/Disable router advertisement message
