Abstract:
1. A method for stress testing mobile network equipment using common public radio interface (CPRI), the method comprising: generating, at a multiple user equipment (multi-UE) simulator, a plurality of messages for simulating a plurality of user equipment (UE) devices, wherein generating the plurality of messages for simulating the plurality of UE devices includes simulating a predetermined mix of at least one of registering and deregistering UEs, UE handovers, and a quality of experience (QoE) of selected UEs on top of a background load, wherein generating the plurality of messages for simulating the plurality of UE devices includes simulating at least one of an S1-C, S1-U, uu, and X2 interface; and stress testing a radio equipment controller (REC) component of a mobile network device by transmitting the plurality of messages over a common public radio interface (CPRI) link to the REC component, wherein the CPRI link is a wired link that provides direct connection between the REC component and the multi-UE simulator.
