TD-LTE personality available in AT4 wireless S3110B LTE
Mobile Test Application
Malaga, Spain, May 24th, 2011, AT4 wireless is introducing the TD-LTE
personality into the S3110B LTE Mobile Test Application, and supporting all
currently defined TDD frequency bands and bandwidths.
LTE is being envisioned as the future wireless broadband communications standards.
From the start, it has been designed to support operation in multiple frequency bands
so that it fulfills the regulatory requirements in multiple countries. Typical deployments
will use paired spectrum, requiring FDD duplex. However, in several countries, only
unpaired spectrum is available, enforcing the use of TDD duplex.
TDD operation presents distinct complexities that require additional testing when
compared with FDD: multiple DL/UL frame configurations, different options in terms of
HARQ feedback, etc. With the inclusion of TD-LTE personality in the S3110B LTE
Mobile Test Application, AT4 wireless is providing chipset developers and UE
integrators with a very powerful yet easy to use testing tool to verify basic RF
parameters in multiple PHY configurations as well as basic signalling procedures and
even to perform end-to-end IP level testing.
This software based upgrade uses the very same hardware configuration than the LTE
FDD signalling personality in the S3110B and shares the currently available fading
channel emulator and AWGN/OCNG noise generation capabilities. This means current
customers of the S3110B will have zero downtime when enabling TD-LTE in their units.
“TD-LTE is gaining traction, especially in Asia, but also in other geographic areas
around the world. With the introduction of the TD-LTE personality in the S3110B
engineers now have a very powerful tool available fitting their testing needs during
most of the device development cycle”, said Juan P. Hidalgo, LTE Product Manager at
AT4 wireless.
