Technologies -seminar

Friday 18 June 2010 at VTT, Kaitoväylä 1, Oulu, 9.00 - 14.00

Ensuring the quality and correctness of complex system such 3G Long Term
Evolution LTE sets major challenges for the efficiency of the testing activities.
Testing is needed to be carried out in multiple phases from early phase unit
testing towards system and acceptance testing of overall system, each phase
typically needing different set of test tools, scripts and environments. As the im-
plementation of a particular unit (e.g., protocol layer) is often also dependent on
other units that may not be available during early phase testing, a great amount
of environment simulations are also needed to facilitate the testing. In addition,
with development of embedded system such LTE base station, the target hard-
ware may not be available in early phase testing, requiring execution of tests in
simulated target environment.

The seminar focuses on results of the CrossNet project, which is a crosslayer

network support function and optimization research and development project for
evolving broadband wireless access standards. The goal is to connect the exist-
ing physical layer simulation and hardware emulation models to the high layer
network emulators and testers. This provides opportunities for network testing
equipment development and network protocol crosslayer optimization in practi-
cal networks and products.

Please register for the seminar before the 14th of June, by e-mail to Sari Mäläskä at Sari.Malaska@vtt.fi containing your
name and company. The seminar is free of charge including the material and the refreshments. For questions about
the contents of the seminar, please contact Petri.Jurmu@vtt.fi (tel. +358 20 722 2372).
