Mobile WiMAX protocol test solution with expanded capabilities

18 April 2007 Test & Measurement

Tektronix has released two dedicated Mobile WiMAX (802.16e-2005) test solutions: one for functional test and WiMAX infrastructure simulation based on expanded capabilities to the G35-WiMAX solution; and one for monitoring purposes based on the Tektronix Network and Service Analyzer (NSA) platform.

The latter adds troubleshooting and performance analysis capabilities to ensure the delivery of high quality and leading edge WiMAX solutions.

Introduced in October 2006, Tektronix' G35-WiMAX solution has since proven its value in equipment manufacturer labs by enabling accelerated time-to-market and reduced time and development costs through the monitoring and in-depth decoding of R1 and R6 interfaces. With the introduction of R1 and R3 simulation on the G35-WiMAX, Tektronix completes the portfolio. High performance and complex monitoring requirements of stress tests, field trials and real network deployments are met by the Mobile WiMAX multi-interface call trace and statistics on the NSA software and the Tektronix K18 portable probe form factor.

Expanding the Mobile WiMAX solution to Tektronix' established Network and Service Analyser platform provides full visibility into lab and live network traffic through multi-interface traffic analysis tools, which isolate root causes of network and service problems.

The WiMAX NSA supports end-to-end traffic analysis by correlating protocol traces on the R1 interface, multiple MSS and on the R6 and R3 interfaces. The multi-interface call trace for Mobile WiMAX saves time and effort in troubleshooting because calls of individual MSS are isolated. Full data capture is guaranteed under the most severe load conditions.

RSA-IQWIMAX offers continuous signal analysis of WiMAX waveforms captured by the RSA3408A realtime spectrum analyser, including EVM and spectral measurements. The system's ability to trigger, capture and analyse WiMAX bursts improves the designer's time-to-insight.
