Spirent Landslide™for the Evolution to 5G 5G Mobility Infrastructure Testing Platform Data Sheet

2022-07-04
●Landslide Features
■The Spirent Landslide 5G mobility infrastructure test platform incorporates device emulation and network testing capabilities that expand through various 3GPP releases (Release 13 and onward). The Landslide 5G testing feature set supports validation needs for the entire evolution path to 5G:
■In particular, Spirent Landslide’s 5G testing offers:
▲Extensions to 4G
◆High scale device emulation of all types including IoT devices as defined in the CAT-M and NB-IoT standards supporting PSM and eDRX
◆ IoT-specific node testing and emulators such as: CIoT Serving Gateway Node (C-SGN), Service Capability Exposure Function (SCEF) and the enhanced-for-IoT Home Subscriber Server (HSS)
◆Network slicing testing and emulation in different forms such as Release 13 Dedicated Core (i.e., DECOR)
◆Release 14 Control and User Plane Separation (CUPS), nodes testing with supporting node emulators such as SGW-C, SGW-U, PGW-C, PGW-U
◆Virtualized-network testing supporting DevOps methodologies for optimized deployment
◆Device and service Busy Hour call modelling
▲Non-Standalone 5G
◆4G/5G Dual-connectivity: High scale 5G device emulation of any kind (eg; smartphone, IoT, vCPE, ...), with 4G and 5G radio access node emulation (eNodeB, gNB), for dual-connectivity testing as defined by Options 3, 3a and 3x in 3GPP standards with multiple mobility scenarios
◆Combined 5G and non-5G device load generation capability
◆ 5G to 4G fallback scenario emulation
◆ 4G to 5G and 5G to 4G S1-U re-selection based on service requirements
◆Device and service Busy Hour call modelling
◆Full 4G Core emulation for 5G RAN and dual-connectivity testing
▲ True-Native 5G
◆ High scale 5G device and radio access (gNB) emulation to test both 5G Core (5GC) or 5G Service-based E2E core network architectures with Intra and Inter RAT mobility (including EPS fallback)
◆High scale 5G Core nodes testing and emulation (AMF, SMF, UPF) exposing and testing N3, N4, N6, N11 interfaces
◆5G Service nodes testing and emulation (AUSF, CHF, LMF, NEF, NRF, NSSF, PCF, UDM) exposing and testing N7, N8, N10, N12, N13, N15, N22, N28, N29, N40, N51, NLs interfaces
◆Full RAN and Control Plane emulation to test and isolate UPF (exposing and testing N3, N4, N6 interfaces)
◆Full RAN and User Plane to test and isolate AMFs and SMFs exposing N1, N2, N6, N8 and N11 interfaces
◆Full 5G Core and content emulation for 5G RAN and device testing
◆Support for complex Native CUPS and Native Slicing topologies
●System Overview
■Spirent Landslide’s 5G emulation feature set, capacities and performance align with the requirements of the evolution towards 5G, being able to emulate millions of devices of all types communicating with the network at rates of tens of thousands of events per second and traffic of Gigabits per second. With its unique dynamic testing capability, Landslide can test all the 4G and 5G infrastructure nodes in isolation and subsequently change the testing topology to progressively incorporate more nodes to the testbed for a full end-to-end network or slice validation.
■Complex 5G call modeling scenarios can be created that include specific 5G devices in various stages of activation, deactivation, dual-connectivity, handovers and 5G data transfers. Carriers also can capture measurements in the live 5G network and replicate them in the lab with Landslide for increased realism in the testbed.
■Spirent Landslide’s Message Editor enables custom variations of messages in key interfaces to allow users complete development of the rapidly-changing interfaces from one 3GPP version to another. Supported on N1, N11 and the 5G SBA interfaces.
■In addition to the extensive 5G testing capabilities, Spirent Landslide also offers individual 5G-related node emulators (e.g., gNB, AMF, SMF, UPF, AUSF, CHF, LMF, NEF, NRF, NSSF, PCF, UDM, SGW-C, SGW-U, PGW-C, PGW-U, etc.). This emulation option is ideal for lab setups where a 3GPP compliant node is required to complete a test objective.
