Versatile LTE Performance Testing for an Improved
Quality of Experience
Verify end-user experience with real-life mobility scenarios
Due to the growing number of applications and subscribers, mobile operators are facing
signaling overload in their networks, which also has an adverse effect on the battery
life of the mobile device. Mobile operators use SAS as a versatile solution to assess the
impact of signaling before they launch a new mobile device. SAS also supports tests
designed to evaluate the use of AMR voice codecs (an audio data compression scheme)
in 3G networks.
SAS offers you the ability to test data performance under fading conditions. The internal
fading capability in SAS, easily available as a software upgrade, provides you with a
highly competitive platform for comprehensive performance testing that may form part
of a mobile operator’s acceptance scheme. The data performance of a device is assessed
in the lab under simulated real-life conditions (such as MIMO configurations, transmis-
sion modes and noise contribution) that affect the mobile user experience.
The SAS data performance analyzer can be used during test execution as well as for
post-processing. It provides a graphical display of performance metrics such as data
rates at different protocol layers (CQI, MCS, BLER, etc.). A report including the various
graphs can be generated
Built-in IMS testing functionality
SAS includes built-in IMS functionality for testing VoLTE and video calls as well as
supplementary services using XCAP. These tests can also form part of a mobile opera-
tor’s acceptance scheme.
Modular platform and flexible licensing
Licenses may be shared across test systems, or even across sites, allowing cost effective
use of assets. Keysight’s modular product structure allows the test system capabilities to
be extended at any point. For example, additional signaling units or other Keysight test
solutions, such as Conformance Toolset and Development Toolset, can be easily added
to the system at a later date. The modular nature of Keysight’s test systems allows them
to be broken up into smaller separate systems with fewer cells, or combined together
into a single larger test system to run more complex test scenarios.
