PHY, MAC & RLC Testing
USE CASE 1: LAYER 1 / 2 TESTING & VERIFICATION
In this use case the SORBAS LTE Test-UE simulates

the complete behavior of a user equipment
(UE) regarding PHY, MAC & RLC. With this
setup, the eNB can be tested against a standard-
conform implementation of an LTE-UE.
This allows the identifi cation of implementation
faults at the very beginning of the development
cycle.
eNB Testing
USE CASE 2: ENB PROTOCOL EVALUATION
Testing the eNB only from the RF side is not

suffi cient. The network interface must also be
tested. In the past this has been an area of
protocol testers and was a separate test case
without any RF-testing.
With the advanced LTE standard, the eNB
comprises the former RNC (Radio Network Control)
functionality. Therefore, isolated networkprotocol
testing is no longer possible. SORBAS
offers a clear and open interface to protocol
test solutions from established vendors like
Catapult, Ercom, Nethawk and Tektronix.
UDP based 100 Mbps Ethernet interface (2 x Gigabit Ethernet interface available in
December 2007) GUI for Test-UE configuration and control:
IP configuration
PHY configuration
manual layer 2 configuration GUI for trace data processing
graphical representation
data logging to file API to L3
GRAPHICAL USER INTERFACE

Graphical user interfaces (GUI) are provided for easy-to-use confi
guration of the SORBAS System:
for L1/2 confi guration and control from a host PC connected via Ethernet.
to display/dump traces generated by the Test-UE such as:
BER (Bit Error Rate)
FER (Frame Error Rate)
CRC-checksum
CQI vector
AGC (Automated Gain Control) and many more.
Addition of customer defi ned traces are possible
PROTOCOL API (APPLICATION PROGRAMMING INTERFACE)
The API is open to customers and allows to integrate SORBAS into exiting protocol
simulators and –testers.
The interface to the user plane offers
Configuration based on service primitives and

direct IP input/output
The interface control plane is based on service primitives (API to layer 3 implementation)
Layer 1 / 2 testing needs to be closely integrated with protocol tests as well as with
network interface testing. SORBAS offers a defi ned and tested interface to well
established cellular protocol test solutions:
Tektronix G35
Catapult DCT 2000
Nethawk EAST
Ercom Mobipass
STANDARD EVOLUTION
The 3GPP standardization is still ongoing. Some features of the future LTE system are
not yet
defi ned nor standardized. The main features of SORBAS are software defined. On this
basis,
the LTE Test UE can be quickly adapted to the ongoing standardization. Open features
that are
not yet standardized can be tentatively custom defined, e.g. on the basis of
HSDPA/HSUPA, or
they can be defi ned by Signalion based on our expertise.
The UE PHY implementation is compliant with FDD Mode according to 3GPP Release 8:
TS 36.201
TS 36.211
TS 36.212
TS 36.213
The UE MAC & RLC implementation is compliant with FDD Mode according to 3GPP
Release 8:
TS 36.321
TS 36.322
