[0054] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present application to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present application, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0055] At present, the component carrier (CC) is an important element for evaluating the data transmission speed between the network and the terminal device. At present, in order to verify the CC function in the terminal device, it is necessary to use special equipment to simulate the communication base station. The professionalism and standardized use documents of the special equipment have brought difficulties and thresholds to the verification work. It is difficult for ordinary people and non-professionals to participate in the verification work, resulting in high cost and difficulty in implementation of the verification work. To this end, the present application provides a carrier test scheme, which can implement the carrier function test of at least one carrier to be tested item of multiple tested network access terminals in a single test process, and can test the CC function of multiple tested network access terminals at one time, making the verification work more convenient, and non-professionals can also participate in the verification work. The verification process is simple and easy to implement; and the scheme does not need to use special equipment to simulate the base station, but communicates with the actual physical base station to complete the test, so it can confirm whether the real physical base station supports the CC function of each tested network access terminal, so that the verification cost is reduced.

[0056] See also Figure 1 As shown, the embodiment of the present application discloses a carrier test method, which is applied to a test end and includes:

[0057] S101. In response to a carrier test command sent by a terminal, encapsulate at least one carrier test item corresponding to a plurality of network access terminals under test into a same test request packet, and send the test request packet to a physical base station.

[0058] It should be noted that the test end includes: a processor, a Bluetooth module, an antenna module, etc., and can be a hardware device. The terminal can be a desktop computer, a mobile phone, a smart watch, etc. The network access end under test can be any device with a built-in cellular communication module, such as a mobile phone, a smart watch, a walkie-talkie, etc.

[0059] In this embodiment, the terminal is used to trigger the test process, collect and display the test results, and can interact with people. The test end can receive the carrier test command sent by the terminal and execute S101 to S103 based on the command. The carrier test command can be set by the user on the terminal side, and specifically can include: test mode and test content; the number, type and ID of the network access terminal to be tested, etc.

[0060] In one implementation, at least one carrier test item corresponding to each of the multiple network access terminals under test is encapsulated into the same test request packet, including: activating the carrier functions (such as CC function, CA function, etc.) of the multiple network access terminals under test, and determining at least one carrier test item corresponding to each of the multiple network access terminals under test; encapsulating at least one carrier test item corresponding to each of the multiple network access terminals under test into a test request packet in an RRC protocol format or a NAS protocol format. The RRC (Radio Resource Control) protocol is a key protocol in a mobile communication network, which is mainly responsible for the allocation and management of wireless resources, and can realize wireless resource management, connection control, security activation, and measurement control. The NAS (Non Access Stratum) protocol is another core protocol in a mobile communication network, which is mainly responsible for processing the signaling interaction between the user equipment (UE) and the core network, and is used to realize registration and authentication, session management, mobility management, and billing information processing. Therefore, the test request packet can be constructed with the help of the RRC protocol or the NAS protocol.

[0061] In one example, the carrier test items may include: EN-DC combination, carrier aggregation type, upload frequency band, and download frequency band. EN-DC combination refers to the dual connection technology of 5G NR (New Radio) and LTE (Long Term Evolution) networks, which is used to optimize data transmission performance; this technology solves the problem of insufficient coverage or capacity of 5G services by using 5G and 4G networks at the same time. Carrier aggregation types include: LTE_2DLCA: Combining dual connectivity (Dual Connectivity) and carrier aggregation (Carrier Aggregation, CA) technology, used for downloading using 2 RF bands in LTE networks, this technology is used to improve performance. LTE_3DLCA: Combining dual connectivity and carrier aggregation technology, used for downloading using 3 RF bands in LTE networks; LTE_4DLCA: Combining dual connectivity and carrier aggregation technology, used for downloading using 4 RF bands in LTE networks; NR 2DLCA: Combining dual connectivity and carrier aggregation technology, used for downloading using 2 RF bands in NR networks, this technology is used to improve performance.

[0062] Among them, encapsulating at least one carrier test item corresponding to each of the multiple network access terminals under test into the same test request packet includes: constructing multiple test rows according to the at least one carrier test item corresponding to each of the multiple network access terminals under test; encapsulating the multiple test rows as data payloads into the same test request packet. It can be seen that this embodiment constructs multiple test rows based on the EN-DC combination to be tested, the carrier aggregation type, the upload frequency band, and the download frequency band, and then performs data encapsulation accordingly. The specific content of the test row is as follows: Figure 2 The individual rows in the list are shown.

[0063] In one implementation, activating the carrier functions of multiple network access terminals under test includes: sending a wireless resource control request to a physical base station; receiving a parameter response packet of the wireless resource control request returned by the physical base station; parsing the parameter response packet to obtain the network configuration parameters of the physical base station (i.e., the relevant network parameters supported by the physical base station) and the network access terminal control parameters (i.e., the relevant network parameters supported by the network access terminal); activating the carrier functions of multiple network access terminals under test respectively according to the network configuration parameters and the network access terminal control parameters. The physical base station provides carrier function support information through SIB (System Information Block) and DCI (Downlink Control Information), and after receiving this information, the terminal device sets and activates the carrier function through the wireless resource control connection process and DCI.

[0064] Among them, SIB is used to provide various parameters required for network configuration and operation, including frequency band, network identification, access rights and other information, which enables the network access terminal to obtain the necessary network configuration information and decide how to connect to the network. The network access terminal obtains carrier component related information, network identification information and other physical layer and logical layer parameters through the received SIB. In the 5G network, SIB1 contains basic information such as cell identification, frequency bandwidth, and access network, while SIB2 contains more detailed physical layer parameters, such as modulation method, signal transmission time, etc.

[0065] DCI is control information sent by the base station to the network access terminal. It contains information about the scheduling and resource allocation of data transmission. It is mainly responsible for controlling the downlink data transmission process of the network access terminal, including time, frequency resources, modulation mode, etc. DCI is the key to controlling the downlink. The information it contains helps the network access terminal to correctly receive data and dynamically adjust resource usage to optimize transmission efficiency. For example, DCI can instruct the network access terminal which frequency resource to use, when to transmit, and what modulation mode to use.

[0066] It should be noted that the information related to the carriers supported by each tested network access terminal is pre-stored in the test terminal, for example: the information related to the carriers supported by each tested network access terminal is stored in the network access terminal carrier list in the form of a list. Then in one embodiment, determining at least one carrier to-be-tested item corresponding to a plurality of tested network access terminals respectively includes: querying a pre-stored network access terminal carrier list to obtain at least one carrier to-be-tested item corresponding to a plurality of tested network access terminals respectively; the at least one carrier to-be-tested item includes: EN-DC combination, carrier aggregation type, upload frequency band, and download frequency band.

[0067] S102: Receive a test response packet of the test request packet returned by the physical base station.

[0068] S103: Parse the test response packet to obtain test results of at least one carrier test item corresponding to each of the plurality of tested network access terminals, and transmit the test results to the terminal so that the terminal displays the test results.

[0069] In one embodiment, transmitting the test results to the terminal includes: generating a corresponding test report according to a preset format based on the carrier function activation status of multiple network access terminals under test and the test results of at least one carrier test item corresponding to the multiple network access terminals under test; and transmitting the test report to the terminal.

[0070] In this embodiment, the terminal communicates with the test end via Bluetooth, and the test end communicates with the physical base station via a cellular network.

[0071] It can be seen that this embodiment can verify the CC carrier function of multiple network access terminals under test at the same time. Specifically, this embodiment encapsulates at least one carrier test item corresponding to multiple network access terminals under test into the same test request packet based on the carrier test command sent by the terminal, and sends the test request packet to the physical base station, thereby realizing the CC carrier function test of multiple network access terminals under test through one test request packet; then, based on the test response packet of the test request packet returned by the physical base station, the test results of at least one carrier test item corresponding to multiple network access terminals under test are obtained, and the test results are transmitted to the terminal, so that the terminal obtains and displays the corresponding test results. This solution realizes the carrier function test of at least one carrier test item of multiple network access terminals under test in a single test process, and can test the CC functions of multiple network access terminals under test at one time, making the verification work more convenient, and non-professionals can also participate in the verification work, and the verification process is simple and easy to implement; and this solution does not need to use special equipment to simulate the base station, but communicates with the actual physical base station to complete the test, so it can confirm whether the real physical base station supports the CC function of each network access terminal under test, so that the verification cost is reduced.

[0072] See also Figure 3 , the carrier test system can include three parts: A, B, and C. Part A is the management and communication signal sending unit of the wireless network, which is composed of a mobile communication switch (MSC) and a physical base station (BTS), responsible for responding to the test command and sending it to Part B; Part B is the test end, including modules such as application processor, modem, memory, and antenna unit, which can receive and process the test response packet sent by A, and transmit the relevant processing results to Part C; Part C is the user equipment, such as smart phones, tablets, etc., which is used to receive and display the aforementioned processing results and control the work of the B device.

[0073] Among them, the test end can confirm multiple frequency bands supported by the physical base station. Specifically, it can send a request to the physical base station through RRC or NAS to request the frequency band information supported by the physical base station (ie, CC / CA list).

[0074] Among them, whether the physical base station provides multi-band connection or only supports specific frequency bands can be confirmed through RRC Connection Reconfiguration message or Measurement Report message. These messages are transmitted through S1AP or X2AP protocol. Once a response is received on whether the physical base station supports the CC / CA list, the test end will decide the subsequent operation based on this response. If the physical base station supports the corresponding CC / CA list, a SUCCESS message is returned; if not, a negative message such as ERROR or NOT SUPPORTED is returned. The test end will perform subsequent steps based on these responses.

[0075] The specific contents to be tested for each network access terminal are as follows: Figure 2 As shown, Figure 2 The meanings of the contents are as follows:

[0076] ①Subcategory: 1DL+2FR1

[0077] 1DL: One RF band is used for downloading.

[0078] 2FR1: Configuration using two FR1 bands.

[0079] FR1: refers to the frequency range of 450MHz to 6GHz, mainly including the Sub-6GHz band. This band provides wide coverage and stable connection.

[0080] FR2: refers to the frequency range of 24.25GHz to 52.6GHz, mainly including the millimeter wave band. This band supports ultra-high-speed data transmission, but has a shorter coverage distance and higher obstacle sensitivity.

[0081] ②EN-DC combination (E-UTRANR dual connection)

[0082] EN-DC refers to dual connectivity technology for 5G NR (New Radio) and LTE (Long Term Evolution) networks to optimize data transmission performance. This technology solves the problem of insufficient coverage or capacity of 5G services by using 5G and 4G networks simultaneously. This example defines the EN-DC combination that can be supported by the access point of the network under test.

[0083] ③RN93xx (model code of the network access terminal under test)

[0084] The tested network access point classification code involved in this example is used to identify the product model. Each model supports different functions and ranges, so the classification code can be used to distinguish different models. This represents the tested network access point belonging to a specific series.

[0085] ④SA522M (list of functions supported by chipset)

[0086] A list of technical features supported by the chipset used in this example. The chipset supports a variety of communication functions, which are key factors in determining the performance and functional scope of the network access point under test.

[0088] The sub-models of the RN93xx series defined in this example. Each sub-model has unique technical characteristics that can be used to achieve performance differentiation between the network access points under test.

[0099] NR2DLCA: Combines dual connectivity and carrier aggregation technologies for downloading using two RF bands in NR networks. This technology is used to improve performance.

[0100] ⑨EN-DC (E-UTRANR dual connection)

[0101] EN-DC refers to the dual connectivity technology of 5GNR and LTE networks to optimize data transmission performance. This example proposes a method to maximize data transmission performance by utilizing 5G and 4G networks simultaneously.

[0102] See also Figure 4 , the communication between the user equipment (UE), the physical base station (eNodeB) and the MME (mobile management entity) of the core network adopts a three-layer structure: L1 (physical layer): PHY layer, responsible for the actual signal processing and transmission. L2 (data link layer): responsible for MAC wireless resource allocation and data priority setting; RLC data retransmission and reorganization function; PDCP encryption and compression function. L3 (network layer): responsible for RRC wireless resource configuration, connection establishment and release control; NAS non-access layer communication with MME, handling authentication and session management.

[0103] Among them, the data service transmission path of the user plane (User Plane) is: user data (such as Internet traffic) is transmitted through the PDCP, RLC, MAC, and PHY layers. The control plane (Control Plane) is the connection management and signal transmission path, which includes the RRC and NAS layers, and processes the control signals between the eNodeB and the MME. The connection between the UE, eNodeB, and MME includes: between the UE and the eNodeB, that is, data exchange between the L1 and L2 layers and signal control between the L3 layer; between the eNodeB and the MME, that is, communication with the MME of the core network through the NAS layer.

[0104] See also Figure 5 In the user plane protocol stack shown, between UE (user equipment) and eNodeB, each layer exchanges data with its corresponding peer layer and performs corresponding functions.

[0105] The protocol layer between the tested network access terminal equipment (UE) and the physical base station (eNodeB) is described as follows:

[0106] PDCP (Packet Data Convergence Protocol): Responsible for header compression, data integrity protection, encryption and other functions to efficiently handle data transmission.

[0107] RLC (Radio Link Control): performs functions such as packet segmentation and reassembly, error recovery, and flow control.

[0108] MAC (Media Access Control): Responsible for wireless resource scheduling, multiple access control and data transmission priority setting.

[0109] PHY (Physical Layer): handles the actual modulation, coding, and transmission and reception of wireless signals.

[0110] Among them, PDCP, as the highest layer of the data flow, is responsible for encrypting and header compression before transmitting the data to the RLC layer. RLC divides the data into transmission blocks or reassembles the data before passing it to the MAC layer. MAC effectively manages the wireless resources and passes the data to the PHY layer. PHY converts the data into actual RF signals for transmission or processes the received RF signals.

[0111] See also Figure 6 , the packaging of the test package can refer to Figure 6 The structure shown is implemented. Figure 6 The structure shown Figure 2 All test lines in the list are encapsulated into a request and sent to the physical base station. The physical base station replies with a response packet containing the results of whether each test line is supported. If the physical base station supports the corresponding CC / CA list, it returns a SUCCESS message; if not, it returns a negative message such as ERROR or NOT SUPPORTED. Finally, the test end summarizes the test results to obtain a test report and sends it to the terminal for the user to view.

[0112] In one example, the test report can be displayed by means of a web application. The test report can be referred to Figure 7 The test reports can be visualized using front-end frameworks such as React or Vue.js; in addition, the test reports can be presented graphically using data visualization libraries such as D3.js or Plotly.js.

[0113] For example, the code to generate an RRC connection request message and process the response using the Scapy library is as follows:

[0114] Python

[0115] import scapy.all as scapy

[0116] # Example: Create an RRC connection request message

[0117] def create_rrc_connection_request():

[0118] rrc_request = scapy.Ether() / scapy.IP() / scapy.UDP() / scapy.RRCConnectionRequest()

[0119] return rrc_request

[0120] # Send RRC request and receive response

[0121] def send_rrc_request():

[0122] rrc_request = create_rrc_connection_request()

[0123] response = scapy.sr1(rrc_request)

[0124] if response:

[0125] print("Received response:", response.show())

[0126] # implement
