We need to be connected wherever we are and expect a seamless content rich service. With current devices consuming more and more data and more and more internet-enabled devices, the current network infrastructure needs major changes to keep up with demand.
5G will be both an evolution and a revolution. An evolution as mobile evolves to support a wide range of new use cases, and a revolution as the architecture concept is being predicted to completely transform to enable these new use cases.
Provide fast, highly efficient network infrastructure
Support more and more device connections
Low latency, low power consumption
Data rates that exceed 10 Gbps
5G includes the evolution of existing 4G networks that use technologies such as C-RAN and HetNet to increase capacity of existing networks with an affordable cost. But revolution for core architecture to fully use SDN/NFV and network ‘slicing’, the use of a new millimeter wave band air interface for higher capacity, and new architecture/signaling for extreme low latency.
5G Testing Challenges As the network concepts and technologies develop for 5G, so the corresponding test methods and processes will evolve to match this. Future 5G test methods will need to provide a high confidence to operators that the technology and services are implemented according to specification, and that the quality of service is matching to the requirements of the application or service being delivered.
