5 Reasons Why Testing Is Important For User Equipments
After much evolution of telecommunication technologies we are now in a generation where mobile communication is the biggest medium of communication. Apart from biggest now Mobile communication is one of the most complex systems ever used so vastly around the globe. In mobile communication system User Equipment (Mobile Stations) are one of the most important node. To make sure that the mobile stations should work properly testing is a must during the whole development cycle and also after the complete product is developed. We have documented 5 important reasons why testing is very important in mobile station development. Reason:1 So Many Technologies Mobile communication has a long history. Starting from 1st generation till 4th generation the technology becomes complex. For example GSM which was a second generation popular technology was developed for Voice and CS related traffic. But when the demand for data (PS) services grew different other technologies were [...]

Tricks to Read and Understand 3GPP Specifications
3GPP specifications are backbone of 3G, IMS, HSPA, Enhanced UTRA technologies. To understand a certain aspect of a protocol stack or encoding of PDUs or to study deep into physical layer one need to understand the respective specifications. The specifications are developed taking into consideration that they should describe the behaviors of certain layer but the implementations in most of places are left to the developers. For a beginner studying 3GPP specifications are really difficult. There are various reasons. 3GPP Specification Are Interlinked Each specification in 3GPP has many referenced specifications. So when one tries to understand one specification he end up following many. This happens to many new 3GPP professionals. 3GPP Specifications Do Not Cover Examples It is always handy to have some real time examples with the theories. As many part of 3GPP specification are left implementation dependent, they do not cover many examples. Also encoding and [...]
