Lab IOT Testing versus Conformance Testing

Conformance Testing
l
l
l l
Ensure implementation of functionality according to a particular release of the 3GPP specification Common interpretation of specification by standardized test, e.g. TTCN based scripts provided by ETSI Tests are prioritized by GCF and PTCRB, i.e. they reflect a common view of the industry on test requirements Basic assumption of Conformance Testing is that the mobile is already conform with the standard. This results in rather strict testing procedures, e.g. a test preamble with strict message constraint matching has to be passed by the UE before the test procedure itself is executed.
Lab IOT Testing versus Conformance Testing

Lab IOT Testing
l l l
l l
Reproduce real-life scenarios in a lab environment Based on operator requirements for terminal acceptance Considers not only conformance with the standard but also performance testing to verify user experience, e.g. data throughput Network specific tests including specific network parameter and services Allows feature testing and acceptance although UE would not pass strict conformance testing or conformance tests are even not available or specified yet.
Lab IOT Testing versus Field Trials

Lab IOT Testing provides
l l l l l
reproducible and independent environment supports fully automated testing provides mean for negative testing provides enhanced analysis capabilities more cost efficient than Field Trials
Conclusion
l l
Conformance Testing, Lab IOT Testing and Field Trial complement each other Problems and issues identified during Lab IOT are reducing costs significantly and will decrease time to market.

From IMS to VoLTE
IMS standardization laid the ground work with an all-over-IP service network architecture already in 3GPP Rel5 Network roll-out hampered by IMS complexity trap One Voice Industry Initiative specified a particular profile for voice & SMS over IMS to reduce complexity and specify a minimum feature set Includes Single Radio Voice Call Continuity (SR-VCC) GSMA VoLTE Initiative has adopted One Voice specification Focus on entire end-to-end voice and SMS service and emphasize on Roaming and Interconnect Interfaces Promoting CSFB as gap filler until SR-VCC is available Now industry standard also promoted by NGMN Alliance R&S is planning to provide a complete test solution for VoLTE
