Rohde & Schwarz, a global leader in communications test solutions, made a significant contribution to the recent Global Certification Forum (GCF) meeting by providing verified Narrowband Internet of Things (NB-IoT) NB1 test cases for New Radio (NR) Release 15 (NTN NB-IoT).
Verified Test Cases
Rohde & Schwarz developed and verified a total of 13 NB-IoT NB1 test cases in line with the requirements of 3GPP TS 38.523, covering crucial aspects of device functionality, such as:
- Radio Resource Control (RRC) establishment and release
- Data transfer and mobility
- Security and power saving
Significance
The verification of these test cases is essential for ensuring interoperability and conformance of NTN NB-IoT devices. By providing these verified test cases, Rohde & Schwarz is enabling device manufacturers to confidently test and certify their products against industry-standard requirements.
Conclusion
Rohde & Schwarz’s contribution to the GCF meeting underscores its commitment to supporting the NB-IoT ecosystem. The verified NB1 test cases empower device manufacturers to accelerate device development, reduce time-to-market, and ensure the reliability and performance of NTN NB-IoT devices.
