4G LTE Communications Simulation of IMS Interfaces

Network Lab

GL offers an End-to-End 4G LTE-IMS MAPS™ IMS supports simulating multiple

Communications Network Lab (CNL) with UEs and IMS core elements such as P-CSCF,
all components such as eNodeB, MME, I-CSCF, S-CSCF, PCRF, MGCF to test multiple
Serving Gateway, PDN Gateway, HSS, SGSN,
PCRF, PCEF, AF and others to simulate both
E-UTRAN and EPC (Evolved Packet Core),
allowing complete testing of the LTE
network.
All functionalities conform to industry
standards. The CNL provides reliable
integrated solutions to vendors and service
providers for simulation, monitoring,
troubleshooting the wireless networks.
Some of the real-time scenarios that can
be realized with GL’s 4G LTE-IMS Lab
solution are listed below -
 SIP call between two LTE UEs using
a SIP client installed on each UE
(using third party SIP Call Agents)
 SMS sent from a roaming 3G UE to
a roaming LTE UE
 CS fall back (CSFB) call from a
roaming LTE UE and a roaming
UMTS UE
 VOLTE/IMS call from a roaming LTE
UE to a roaming LTE UE on a
different network
 User Equipment - to - User
Equipment Call Emulation Lab
 Mobile Traffic and Web Access
Emulation Lab
 Inter and Intra Handovers
 Interfaces Supported
 S1, S3, S4, S11, S5/S8, S10,
S16, X2, SLs, SGs
 Diameter-S6a, S6d, S13,
Cx/Dx, Gx, Rx & SGi
interfaces in the IMS core network such as
- Cx/Dx, Rx, Gx, Gm, Mw, SGi, Mi, and Mj.
With the help of real mobile phones, and
other simulated elements, the application
allows for making real-time VoLTE calls and
also for testing interworking of LTE-IMS
with PSTN and VoIP networks.
MAPS™ Diameter can simulate S6a, S6a,
S13, S13’, Cx/Dx, Gx, Gy,Rx, SLg, SLh and Gy
interfaces and test functionalities of
network elements such as - MME, HSS, AF,
AS, PCRF, CSCF, SGSN, PCEF, EIR, PDN GW,
CTF, and OCS. MAPS™ Diameter is also
enhanced to simulate Location Service
(LCS) based SLh and SLg interfaces between
the GMLC <-> HSS and GMLC <->MME.
Following test scenarios can be realized
using MAPS LTE and IMS simulators -
 UE Non-Roaming Registration
 Voice Call between Non-Roaming
Users on the same network
 Voice Call between Non-Roaming
User to Non-Roaming User across
networks
 Voice Call from IMS to PSTN
Network
 UE Roaming Registration
 3G-to-3G Roaming User SMS
Service
 SMS Service between roaming 4G
to 3G via CSFB (SGs)
 Voice call through IMS Network
between 4G and 3G users
 Use of CAMEL for SMS and Prepaid
Calls
 Streaming Online Video from a

LTE/5G QoS Test Suite Voice, Video,
& Data Quality Testing
VQuad™ Probe HD is a self-contained unit
used to objectively evaluate Signal
Strength, Voice, Video, & Data Quality on
Cellular networks (5G, 4G VoLTE, 3G, 2G),
Land Mobile Radios, and Wired networks.
It includes VQuad™ software, Dual
Universal Telephone Adapter (Dual UTA
HD), and PC in a portable platform.
VQuad™ Probe HD can connect to
practically any end-point, wired or wireless
devices, independent of underlying
network type. VoLTE testing supported
using either Bluetooth® or wired headset
connection methods.
Various associated analytical
applications (Voice Quality, Video
Quality, Data tests, Echo and Delay
tests, Fax tests, Voice Band Analysis) work
with the base VQuad™ software to provide
"end-to-end assessment" of the network
performance.
GL’s Voice Quality Testing (VQT) supports
automated voice quality between using -
POLQA (ITU-P.863) and PESQ (ITU-P.862).
The POLQA algorithm is specifically used
for testing Wideband VoLTE networks.
GL’s VQuad™ NetTest solution
supportsegress/ingress Data analysis along
withVoice/Video Quality Testing and GPS.
Roaming 3G/4G UE
Massive LTE UE and Traffic Simulation
GL’s MAPS™ Server with
PacketLoadappliance supports massive
simulation of UEs (up to 500000) with
mobile data traffic at high line rates (up to
4 Gbps or 40 Gbps) for both UMTS, and LTE
networks.
It offers all features to perform functional
unit tests at every integration point within
the wireless infrastructure. The MAPS™
Server with PacketLoad can be used to test
all network elements in access & packet
core to ensure negotiated QoS is met.
The solution allows to encapsulate the
generated packet data within GTP headers
and transmit through the gateway points
such as SGSN & GGSN, or SGW & PGW. It
allows simultaneous simulation of multiple
sessions per user to verify bearer allocation
bandwidth at the end points. Currently, the
solution offers stateful TCP/HTTP, and PCAP
Replay traffic types. PacketLoad supports
HTTP traffic simulation with the base
requirements such as port number, server
IP address, and pre-canned HTTP traffic file.
 Simulation of LTE S1 Interface
GL's MAPS™ designed for testing LTE - S1
interface can simulate Evolved Node B
(eNodeB), and Mobility Management Entity
(MME) network elements. The application
gives the users the unlimited ability to edit
S1-AP/NAS messages and call scenarios
(message sequences).
The product supports real-time GTP traffic
using Mobile traffic core - GTP (ETH101)
between any two nodes in LTE and UMTS
networks.It also supports Mobile Traffic
Core - Gateway (ETH102) module to offload
GTP traffic to media gateway over IP. These
modules also support generation and
verification of data traffic such as Web
(HTTP).
We value your association with us. Write to us if you have queries on testing needs. Thank You.
