Description

Technical Field

[0002] With the rapid development of communication technology, especially the fifth generation mobile communication technology (5G), it has been widely used in various industries.

[0003] While the business (ToB) market is rapidly developing, the consumer (ToC) market is also undergoing significant changes. One of the most critical changes is that the current ToC market has relatively limited application scenarios and focused user needs, making it easier for 5G systems to conduct targeted network testing and optimization. These services primarily consist of voice calls and internet data. In the ToB market, 5G networks need to carry the specific services of users in different industries. These industries also have varying requirements for network throughput, latency, jitter, and other metrics. This requires network testing and optimization to be tailored to the needs of these users. Before designing a solution, it's crucial to understand the specific business characteristics of these industry application scenarios. Given the diverse nature of business data across different industries, analyzing these data characteristics across different scenarios is both labor-intensive and complex. This workload is primarily due to the varying business models across different industries. Even within the same industry, business models can vary between different companies, and even within the same company, business models can differ between different production lines. Facing the diverse needs of numerous industries, 5G systems can only be effectively implemented across industries by analyzing service characteristics, analyzing service models, and conducting targeted testing and optimization based on specific application scenarios.

[0053] The service simulation module simulates industry-specific service data, the test terminal module simulates real terminals in the network, and the core network test module simulates a real core network. It should be understood that the present invention provides corresponding simulation test modules from the core network side, the wireless side, and the terminal side, which are used to replace the various modules and devices in the real network environment, thereby maximally restoring the real network communication environment.

[0054] exist Figure 2In the 5G test environment, the test terminal module and the test core network module perform surround tests on the 5G system in a traditional way, while the business simulation module simulates businesses in different industry application scenarios.

[0096] Based on the expected future expansion of on-site services, the service load is increased to test the 5G system. Based on the abnormal scenarios that may be encountered in on-site services, including changes in service message delay and jitter, the message sending time is dynamically adjusted. Specific tracking service messages are constructed to evaluate system indicators.

[0097] By taking into account special situations that may occur in the system, the present invention can comprehensively cover various business scenarios and has strong comprehensiveness and accuracy.
