Highlights：

•演示中使用了Vodafone 5G實驗室的EMITE OTA混合AC / RC測試系統和Ericsson 5G SA原型基站

•測試得到了低於3.5ms的端到端延遲和用戶DL TCP TPUT在室外到室內真實衰減數據速率達到約400 Mbps

•受益於Vodafone 5G實驗室的快速、有效和符合實際的5G OTA實驗室測試，可滿足網絡中即將到來的5G應用的多樣化要求

Vodafone、EMITE和Ericsson今天宣佈在n78頻段進行針對5G SA的首次大規模MIMO OTA現實實驗室測試。這一成就是滿足未來5G網絡應用最多樣化需求的重要里程碑。

 

該演示包括Ericsson的基站原型，真正的5G SA UE原型和EMITE F200混合消聲混響室，在室外到室內OTA逼真的衰減下，單用戶數據速率達到了約400 Mbps。在真實衰減下，測試還產生了低於0.15 ms的RF延遲和低於3.5ms的端到端延遲。結果不需要在相控陣上進行校準，從而大大降低了測試成本。

 

Vodafone創新園區實驗室負責人Andreas Dorstel說：“我們現在可以在實際的生活條件下測試一切，然後再推廣到現實生活網絡中”。

 

David A. Sanchez-Hernandez教授說：“測試結果突出了準確和現實的5G OTA測試的重要性，並增強了5G網絡提供急切期望的潛力，並在不久的將來進一步實現了真正的部署。” ，EMITE首席執行官。

 

Vodafone德國首席技術官Eric Kuisch博士說：“借助我們的無線電室，我們現在可以雄心勃勃地測試製造商提供的設備和系統技術。”

 

Ericsson德國公司董事長斯特凡·科茨（Stefan Koetz）表示：“由於5G在移動性和工業4.0領域將是一項重要技術，除了增強的移動寬帶體驗外，對於我們作為具有高安全性和質量標準的網絡供應商而言，這一點至關重要測試技術的使用-在這種情況下，我們很高興為測試室配備我們的最新技術。”

Vodafone, EMITE and Ericsson today announce the first massive MIMO OTA realistic laboratory test for 5G SA at the n78 band. The achievement is an important milestone for meeting most diverse requirements of future applications in 5G on a network.

 

The demonstration included a Base Station prototype by Ericsson, a real 5G SA UE prototype and the EMITE F200 hybrid anechoic-reverberation chamber, achieving a single-user data rate of ~400 Mbps under outdoor-to-indoor OTA realistic fading. The tests also produced RF latencies below 0.15 ms and End-to-End latencies below 3.5ms under realistic fading. The results did not require calibration on the phased-array, thereby greatly reducing testing costs.

 

Andreas Dorstel, Head of Vodafone Innovation Park Labs, “We can now test everything under real live conditions before rolling out in life networks".

 

"The results highlight the importance of accurate and realistic 5G OTA testing and reinforce the potential of 5G networks to deliver what is eagerly expected, taking a step further into a real deployment in the near future", said Prof. David A. Sanchez-Hernandez, CEO of EMITE.

 

Dr. Eric Kuisch, CTO Vodafone Germany, “With our radio chamber we can now ambitiously test the equipment and system technology that our manufacturers have delivered".

 

Stefan Koetz, chairman of Ericsson GmbH in Germany, "Since 5G will be an important technology in the context of mobility and industry 4.0 in addition to the enhanced mobile broadband experience, it is important for us as a network supplier with high safety and quality standards to test the use of technology - in this context we are pleased to equip the testing chamber with our latest technology".
