Keysight and MediaTek Successfully Complete 5G New Radio and RedCap Interoperability Testing

12/04/2023

Keysight Technologies, Inc. and MediaTek have successfully completed 5G New Radio (NR) and 5G reduced capability (RedCap) interoperability development testing (IODT) based on the 3GPP Release 17 (Rel-17) standard. The testing verified the latest MediaTek 5G modem technologies using Keysight's 5G Network Emulation Solutions.

IODT, an important step in validating equipment using new 5G specifications, determines whether a base station and device can establish and maintain a 5G communication link based on prescribed test conditions.

The RedCap interoperability testing conducted by Keysight and MediaTek validated that the MediaTek 5G modem technologies supports early identification, bandwidth part (BWP) definition, user equipment (UE) capability, radio resource management (RRM) relaxation, network control device-synchronization signal block (NCD-SSB), sounding reference signal (SRS) enhancement, extended discontinuous reception (eDRX), and physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) for frequency hopping. The 5G NR IODT validated the chipset supported Rel-17 features including power saving, small data transmission, and NR coverage enhancement.…
