ANRITSU CORPORATION introduced the profitable verification and assist of 3GPP RAN5 Rel-17 NR NTN take a look at instances on its 5G NR Cell System Check Platform ME7834NR.
Non-terrestrial Networks (NTNs) are wi-fi communication techniques that function above the Earth’s floor, using platforms within the air and in Earth’s orbit. These platforms embrace satellites in Low Earth Orbit (LEO), Medium Earth Orbit (MEO), and Geostationary Orbit (GEO).
3GPP Launch 17 introduces “NR NTN” – the inclusion of Non-Terrestrial Networks into the 5G New Radio (NR) requirements. This development allows 5G units to hook up with satellites utilizing the identical protocols as terrestrial base stations, paving the way in which for international 5G protection past conventional infrastructure.
“Anritsu assist for NR NTN take a look at instances will allow ubiquitous connectivity for uninterrupted cell knowledge, voice and messaging—wherever on Earth empowering particular person customers, companies and industries that must be linked with always-on entry,” mentioned Yokoo Daizaburo, Common Supervisor of Cell Options Division at Anritsu Company.
The conformance exams are outlined by 3GPP in TS 38.523-1 and aligned with the core necessities in TS 38.331. These exams have been submitted by Anritsu to 3GPP’s Radio Entry Community Working Group 5 (RAN WG5).
