This page provides an overview of 5G measurements performed on User Equipment (UE) and Base Stations (BS) or Nodes B (NB). It details both 5G UE measurements and 5G BS measurements.
The 5G measurements encompass both transmitter and receiver test scenarios.
Introduction:
The following tests are generally performed during 5G measurements:
- Transmitter conformance measurements
- Receiver conformance measurements
- Measurements during Inter-operability tests
- Network Stability measurements
- Inter-RAT measurements
- Drive test measurements
- Near field and far field measurements
