The most popular conformance test platforms for certification of mobile devices
In order to make sure that your device is prepared for 5G NR operation in standalone (SA) mode, COMPRION SIMfony MT8000A adds 5G SA USIM/USAT testing capabilities. And you can find this solution already registered at GCF and PTCRB as test platform TP226. COMPRION SIMfony MT8000A consists of the new Anritsu 5G Radio Communication Test Station MT8000A and the (U)SIM simulator UT³ Platform. Benefit from the world´s first 5G test platform with validated tests at GCF and PTCRB and be the first when the Work Item will be activated!
Regarding 3GPP TS 31.121 Rel-15, the GCF WI-508-NR and PTCRB RFT 508 so far list the following tests:
• Clause 5.3 "Handling subscription identifier privacy for 5G"
• Clause 5.4 "Unified Access Control information handling for 5G-NR"
• Clause 15.1 "Authentication procedure for EAP-AKA' "
• Clause 15.2 "Authentication procedure for 5G AKA"
Hence, these tests will be available in the following COMPRION SIMfony MT8000A packages:
• Clause 5.3: 3GPP TS 31.121 USIM 5G Test Bench Stage 1 - now available!
• Clause 5.4: 3GPP TS 31.121 USIM 5G Test Bench Stage 2
• Clauses 5.5, 15.1 and 15.2: 3GPP TS 31.121 USIM 5G Test Bench Stage 3 - partial release!
So far, 22 tests for 5G SA USAT have been defined in 3GPP TS 31.124 Rel-15. But, more will be added. All in all, the following features will be covered:
• Provide Local Information
• Refresh
• BIP (Open Channel, Close Channel, Receive Data, Send Data, Get Channel Status)
• Event Download (Location Status, Data Available, Channel Status Change, Access Technology Change, Network Rejection, Data Connection Change)
• CALL CONTROL an PDU Session for NG-RAN
• SMS-PP Download via DL NAS TRANSPORT message
Concerning certification, the GCF WI-509-NR lists these tests. Soon the new PTCRB RFT 509 will cover them as well.
In the near future you will find these tests in the 3GPP TS 31.121 USAT 5G Test Bench Stage 1 as COMPRION SIMfony MT8000A package.
Because both, the licenses for the COMPRION modules and for the test benches of the Anritsu MT8000A are stored in the Device Test Center, handling is simpler now: For example, if your MT8000A is out for repair or calibration, it is now possible to exchange the Anritsu MT8000A against another with the same configuration. But it works without the need for a new license related to the new network simulator hardware. This way you can directly continue your testing which saves efforts and costs.
If you need to prepare your device for 5G NR operation in standalone (SA) mode, simply add COMPRION SIMfony CMX500. Hence you benefit from extensive 5G SA USIM/USAT testing capabilities. This way you work on the test platform TP227, listed at GCF and PTCRB. Now, the new R&S® CMX500 Radio Communication Tester works with the (U)SIM simulator UT³ Platform. Benefit from the worldwide first test platform with 5G tests validated at PTCRB.
Regarding 3GPP TS 31.121 Rel-15, the GCF WI-508-NR and PTCRB RFT 508 so far list the following tests:
• "Handling subscription identifier privacy for 5G" is covered in clause 5.3
• Clause 5.4 details "Unified Access Control information handling for 5G-NR"
• "Authentication procedure for EAP-AKA' " is defined by clause 15.1
• And clause 15.2 deals with "Authentication procedure for 5G AKA"
Hence, these tests will be available in the following COMPRION SIMfony CMX500 packages:
• Clause 5.3: 3GPP TS 31.121 USIM 5G Test Bench Stage 1 - NEW release R1.2 out now!
• Clause 5.4: 3GPP TS 31.121 USIM 5G Test Bench Stage 2
• Clauses 5.5, 15.1 and 15.2: 3GPP TS 31.121 USIM 5G Test Bench Stage 3
So far, 31 tests for 5G SA USAT have been defined according to 3GPP TS 31.124 Rel-15, but more will will added. These 31 cover the following features:
• Provide Local Information
• Refresh
• BIP (Open Channel, Close Channel, Receive Data, Send Data, Get Channel Status)
• Event Download (Location Status, Data Available, Channel Status Change, Access Technology Change, Network Rejection, Data Connection Change)
• CALL CONTROLon PDU Session for NG-RAN
• SMS-PP Download via DL NAS TRANSPORT message
Regarding certification the GCF-WI-509-NR lists these tests. Soon, they will also be added to the new PTCRB RFT 509.
In the future, you will find these tests in the 3GPP TS 31.121 USAT 5G Test Bench Stage 1, the COMPRION SIMfony CMX500 package.
Now, handling for repair or maintenance is simpler. This is because licenses for the COMPRION modules as well as for the COMPRION SIMfony CMX500 are stored in the Device Test Center (Platform Software). If your network simulator is out for repair, it can directly be replaced by a device of the same configuration. Unlike before, this does not require any new license. Hence, testing can continue on directly saving efforts and costs
Since long COMPRION SIMfony MD8475A is one of the most commonly used test platforms for mobile device testing. If you need to gain market access through compliance to 2G/3G or LTE, prove it comfortably with Test Platform TP151. SIMfony MD8575A consists of UT³ Platform, the Anritsu signalling tester MD8475A plus the corresponding software. More important, it saves time with comfortable automation functions like Terminal Application Provider and remote control. Alternatively, you can save money with the so-called pre-conformance solution using Prove 2 instead of UT³ Platform. In-house conformance evaluation parallel to the product development reduces the risk to fail the approval test and the costs for the test sessions in a test house significantly.

Additional to the GCF and PTCRB approved hardware used for conformance testing COMPRION offers so called pre-conformance solutions. Hence your are able to run conformance-relevant test cases on non-validated hardware. This way, in-house conformance evaluation parallel to the product development gets better affordable. Since pre-conformance testing reduces the risk to fail the approval test, you lower the costs for the test sessions in a test house significantly.
