Abstract:

The deployment of the LTE is picking up pace in many countries and these networks are deployed alongside the existing 2G/3G services. LTE/LTE-A networks offer higher data rates and reduced delay to the subscribers. Today's mobile networks consist of equipment from multiple vendors and they are called multiple vendor networks. Interoperability testing is important at initial network launch and during network expansion. This paper discusses a typical problem related to interoperability testing along with the test results and the issues faced during the testing. The test results discussed in the paper are obtained from three scenarios - before testing, during testing and after testing. The test results are used to study the impact on network performance. Apart from the interoperability testing, an outline of testing that focus on general network stability, the interworking capability of LTE with other technologies such as 2G and 3G and taxonomy for the generation of key performance indicators (KPIs) are also discussed.
