[0002] Before the chip of a terminal is taped out, it is necessary to test it through a protocol stack instrument to determine whether the access and data transmission processes between the terminal and the protocol stack instrument can be completed normally.

[0003] Currently, in the testing process, first, a simulated terminal is deployed on a simulation platform device, and then the local clock of the protocol stack instrument is used to drive the interaction process between the protocol stack instrument and the simulated terminal. However, since the simulation platform device is usually deployed on a server and its processing speed is slow, it is difficult to match the processing speed of the protocol stack instrument, resulting in poor connection test effects.

[0134] To make the objectives, technical solutions and advantages of the present application clearer, the technical solutions in the present application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings in the present application. Apparently, the described embodiments are some but not all of the embodiments of the present application. All other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art based on the embodiments in the present application without creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present application.

[0135] Protocol stack instruments are usually deployed on the network device side for interaction with terminals. When a protocol stack instrument is docked with a real terminal, it can complete random access and subsequent service tests based on the 3rd Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) protocol.

[0136] Before the internal chip of a real terminal is taped out, corresponding connection tests need to be completed. Specifically, first, an analog terminal is deployed on the simulation platform, and then the protocol stack instrument is connected to the analog terminal deployed on the simulation platform, so as to realize the test of the analog terminal.

[0137] There are two ways to connect the protocol stack instrument to the analog terminal, which will be introduced below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0138] Figure 1 Schematic diagram of the connection between a protocol stack instrument and an analog terminal Figure 1 , such as Figure 1As shown in the figure, between the protocol stack instrument and the simulated terminal deployed on the simulation platform device, verification of the simulated terminal is completed through radio frequency connection or air interface connection. Radio frequency modules are deployed on both the protocol stack instrument and the simulated terminal, and the radio frequency modules of the protocol stack instrument and the simulated terminal can interact to achieve connection. The instrument protocol stack generates the clock and the time slot numbers and frame numbers required by the New Radio (NR) protocol according to its own local oscillator or Global Positioning System (GPS) clock, and completes the protocol random access process and subsequent tests. This connection method is mostly used for verification after the terminal is taped out, and there are also cases of terminal logic verification before tape-out.

[0139] Figure 2 It is a schematic diagram of the connection between a protocol stack instrument and a simulated terminal Figure 2 , such as Figure 2 shown, between the protocol stack instrument and the simulated terminal deployed on the simulation platform device, they are connected through Base Band in-phasequadrature (BBIQ) signals. This connection method does not use radio frequency modules and directly connects through real-time BBIQ data. The instrument protocol stack still generates the clock and the time slot numbers and frame numbers required by the NR protocol according to its own local oscillator or GPS clock, and completes the protocol random access process and subsequent tests.

[0140] However, whether it is based on radio frequency connection or air interface connection, or based on BBIQ signal connection, the current method of connecting and testing simulated terminals through protocol stack instruments belongs to a real-time system, which requires the local clock of the protocol stack instrument to drive the operation of the entire system and strictly implement the uplink and downlink processing of the NR system according to the 3GPP protocol. However, the simulated terminal deployed on the simulation platform device runs relatively slowly and it is difficult to dock well with the timing of existing instruments.

[0141] Based on this, the embodiments of the present application provide a connection test method, which drives the normal operation of the entire protocol stack timing system through the time domain data from the simulated terminal deployed on the simulation platform device, and finally completes the random access and subsequent service tests.

[0142] Figure 3 It is a flowchart of the connection test method provided by the embodiments of the present application. This method is applied to a protocol stack instrument, such as Figure 3 shown, this method includes:

[0143] S31, receive the uplink data packet sent by the simulation platform device.

[0144] The simulation platform device is used to deploy simulated terminals, while the protocol stack instrument is deployed on the network device. The interaction between the simulation platform device and the protocol stack instrument is used to test the communication process between the terminal and the network device, so as to determine whether the interaction between the terminal and the network device can meet the 3GPP protocol.

[0145] After the protocol stack instrument and the simulation platform device establish a connection, the simulation platform device sends an uplink data packet to the protocol stack instrument for uplink data transmission.

[0146] S32, based on the uplink data packet, update the current first time slot number and first half frame number of the protocol stack instrument to obtain a second time slot number and a second half frame number.

[0147] In the embodiment of the present application, the uplink data packet is used to drive the operation of the entire protocol timing. After the protocol stack instrument receives the uplink data packet, the protocol stack instrument updates the timing based on the uplink data packet, specifically including the update of the time slot number and the update of the half frame number.

[0148] The current time slot number of the protocol stack instrument is the first time slot number, and the current half frame number is the first half frame number. The first time slot number is used to indicate the current time slot of the protocol stack instrument, and the first half frame number is used to indicate the current half frame of the protocol stack instrument. After receiving the uplink data packet, the current time slot of the protocol stack instrument needs to be updated, advancing one time slot, so as to obtain the updated second time slot number. Correspondingly, the first half frame number also needs to be updated based on the update of the time slot to obtain the updated second half frame number.

[0149] S33, based on the second time slot number and the second half frame number, parse and process the uplink data packet to obtain the uplink data code stream.

[0150] After updating the time slot number and the half frame number, based on the second time slot number and the second half frame number, the protocol stack instrument parses and processes the uplink data packet to obtain the uplink data code stream. The parsing process may include a series of processes such as channel estimation, equalization, and decoding.

[0151] S34, based on the second time slot number and the second half frame number, scramble the downlink data code stream to generate a downlink data packet.

[0152] The uplink data packet realizes the update of the timing information of the protocol stack instrument. Therefore, based on the updated timing information - the second time slot number and the second half frame number, the downlink data code stream can be scrambled to generate a downlink data packet.

[0153] S35, send the downlink data packet to the simulation platform device.

[0154] The uplink data code stream and the downlink data code stream are used to test the simulation platform device.

[0155] After generating the downlink data packet, the protocol stack instrument sends the downlink data packet to the simulation platform device, and the simulation platform device receives the downlink data packet. Thus, a round of data interaction is completed between the protocol stack instrument and the simulation platform device. Among them, the uplink data stream and the downlink data stream are used to test the simulation platform device, to test whether data interaction can be carried out normally between the simulation platform device and the protocol stack instrument, whether it meets the requirements of the 3GPP protocol, and so on.

[0156] The connection test method provided by the embodiments of the present application is as follows: First, the simulation platform device sends an uplink data packet to the protocol stack instrument. The protocol stack instrument updates the current first time slot number and the first half-frame number of the protocol stack instrument based on the uplink data packet to obtain a second time slot number and a second half-frame number, and based on the second time slot number and the second half-frame number, parses and processes the uplink data packet to obtain an uplink data stream; based on the second time slot number and the second half-frame number, scramble the downlink data stream to generate a downlink data packet, and send the downlink data packet to the simulation platform device. The solution of the embodiments of the present application realizes the update and promotion of the timing through the uplink data packet sent by the simulation platform device. The protocol stack instrument updates the time slot number and the half-frame number only when it receives the uplink data packet sent by the simulation platform device. Therefore, even when the processing speed of the simulation platform device is slow, it is possible to achieve the matching of the processing speeds between the protocol stack instrument and the simulation platform device. By testing the simulation platform device through the uplink data stream and the downlink data stream, the effect of the connection test can be improved.

[0157] Based on any of the above embodiments, the solutions of the embodiments of the present application will be further introduced below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0158] Please refer to Figure 1 , for the method of connecting between the protocol stack instrument and the analog terminal through radio frequency, both the protocol stack instrument and the analog terminal need to deploy radio frequency modules, which not only increases the verification variables but also increases the verification cost. At the same time, the connection of radio frequency is mostly used for verification after the terminal chip is taped out, increasing the risk of tape-out failure.

[0159] In order to implement connection testing without increasing verification variables, the embodiments of the present application provide an NR non-real-time protocol stack system, which realizes data transmission between the protocol stack instrument and the analog terminal based on the Ethernet protocol. The framework of the NR non-real-time protocol stack system will be introduced below with reference to Figure 4 the accompanying drawings.

[0160] Figure 4 FIG. is a schematic diagram of the architecture of the NR non-real-time protocol stack system provided by the embodiments of the present application. As shown in Figure 4 , the NR non-real-time protocol stack system includes a protocol stack instrument and a simulation platform device. The simulation platform device is used to provide a terminal simulation environment, and an analog terminal is deployed on the simulation platform device.

[0161] The NR non-real-time protocol stack system is mainly based on simulation platform devices, supplemented by protocol stack instruments. The simulation platform devices need to drive the entire protocol timing operation.

[0162] In the NR non-real-time protocol stack system, the protocol stack instruments and the simulation platform devices do not interact through the radio frequency unit, but through the Ethernet interface (Ethereum-Input / Output, ETH-IQ) to implement interaction by using the Ethernet protocol.

[0163] Specifically, as Figure 4 shown, the protocol stack instrument includes a first Ethernet interface, and the simulation platform device includes a second Ethernet interface. Between the protocol stack instrument and the simulation platform device, BBIQ data is transmitted through the first Ethernet interface and the second Ethernet interface.

[0164] In the NR non-real-time protocol stack system, the interaction mode between the protocol stack instrument and the simulation platform device is driven by the simulation platform device. Specifically, the simulation platform device sends uplink BBIQ data through the second Ethernet interface. After the protocol stack instrument receives the uplink BBIQ data, it generates a time slot interrupt signal. The protocol stack instrument relies on the time slot interrupt signal to drive the entire protocol stack to work until it sends downlink data of one time slot and sends it to the simulation platform device through the first Ethernet interface. In the above process, after the protocol stack instrument receives the time slot interrupt signal, it triggers the protocol stack to start, drives the operation of the protocol stack time slot number and the system frame number, and then drives the protocol stack instrument to send data of 500 us. This process repeats to complete the protocol data interaction between the protocol stack and the terminal, and complete the terminal access and service testing.

[0165] In the above embodiment, the architecture of the NR non-real-time protocol stack system is introduced in combination with Figure 4 the following. Based on the architecture of the NR non-real-time protocol stack system, the specific interaction process between the protocol stack instrument and the simulation platform device is introduced.

[0166] Figure 5 The interaction signaling diagram between the protocol stack instrument and the simulation platform device provided by the embodiment of the present application is as Figure 5 shown, which altogether includes three stages, namely the connection establishment stage, the data interaction stage, and the disconnection stage.

[0167] In the connection establishment stage, the simulation platform device sends a handshake request to the protocol stack instrument to request to establish a connection with the protocol stack instrument. After the protocol stack instrument receives the handshake request, the protocol stack instrument sends a handshake response to the simulation platform device. When the simulation platform device receives the handshake response, a connection is established between the simulation platform device and the protocol stack instrument.

[0168] In the data interaction phase, it is a process in which the simulation platform device sends an upstream data packet to the protocol stack instrument and the simulation platform device sends a downstream data packet to the protocol stack instrument. For the process of data interaction, reference can be made to Figure 6 the relevant introduction.

[0169] Figure 6 FIG. is a schematic diagram of data interaction between the protocol stack instrument and the simulation platform device provided by an embodiment of the present application. As Figure 6 shown, after a connection is established between the protocol stack instrument and the simulation platform device, first, the simulation platform device scrambles the upstream data stream based on the second time slot number and the second half-frame number to generate an upstream data packet, and sends the upstream data packet to the protocol stack instrument. Among them, the upstream data packet is used to update the current first time slot number and the first half-frame number of the protocol stack instrument.

[0170] Specifically, the simulation platform device first generates second configuration information based on the second time slot number and the second half-frame number, and scrambles the upstream data stream based on the second configuration information to generate an upstream data packet.

[0171] The second configuration information may include relevant parameters such as the second scrambling base sequence of the simulation platform device, the time domain position, the frequency domain position, and the size of the upstream data stream of the upstream data stream. Among them, the second scrambling base sequence is obtained by scrambling the second base sequence of the simulation platform device based on the second time slot number and the second half-frame number.

[0172] The protocol stack instrument includes a first Ethernet interface, and the simulation platform device includes a second Ethernet interface. Data interaction can be performed between the first Ethernet interface and the second Ethernet interface based on the Ethernet protocol. Optionally, the simulation platform device sends an upstream data packet to the protocol stack instrument through the second Ethernet interface. Correspondingly, the protocol stack instrument receives the upstream data packet sent by the simulation platform device through the first Ethernet interface.

[0173] After receiving the upstream data packet, the protocol stack instrument needs to update the current first time slot number and the first half-frame number of the protocol stack instrument based on the upstream data packet. Specifically, after receiving the upstream data packet, the protocol stack instrument first generates a first time slot interrupt signal based on the upstream data packet, and the first time slot interrupt signal is used to generate a time slot interrupt. After generating the first time slot interrupt signal, based on the first time slot interrupt signal, the first time slot number and the first half-frame number are updated to obtain the second time slot number and the second half-frame number.

[0174] Please refer to Figure 6, the protocol stack instrument includes an Erasable Programmable Logic Device (EPLD) module. In the process of updating the first time slot number and the first half frame number based on the first time slot interrupt signal, the protocol stack instrument first sends the first time slot interrupt signal to the EPLD module. After receiving the first time slot interrupt signal, the EPLD module increments the first time slot number by one to obtain a second time slot number, and obtains a second half frame number based on the half frame to which the second time slot number belongs.

[0175] The first time slot number is used to indicate the current first time slot of the protocol stack instrument, that is, the current protocol stack timing, while the second time slot number is used to indicate the second time slot, and the second time slot is the next time slot of the first time slot. The first half frame number is the half frame to which the first time slot number belongs. One half frame includes 5 ms and corresponds to 5 time slots. The second half frame number is the half frame to which the second time slot number belongs. The first time slot indicated by the first time slot number and the second time slot indicated by the second time slot number belong to different time slots. The half frame indicated by the first half frame number and the half frame indicated by the second half frame number may belong to the same half frame or different half frames. By updating the first time slot number and the first half frame number through the simulation platform device, the control of the protocol stack timing is realized, and the protocol stack instrument is driven to work.

[0176] Optionally, after obtaining the second time slot number and the second half frame number, the protocol stack instrument parses and processes the uplink data packet to obtain an uplink data stream.

[0177] Specifically, after obtaining the second time slot number and the second half frame number, the protocol stack instrument scrambles the first base sequence of the protocol stack instrument based on the second time slot number and the second half frame number to obtain a first scrambled base sequence. In the embodiment of the present application, the first base sequence is the base sequence of the first reference signal of the protocol stack instrument, and the first reference signal is the reference signal of the protocol stack instrument defined by the 3GPP protocol.

[0178] After obtaining the first scrambled base sequence, the protocol stack instrument parses and processes the uplink data packet based on the first scrambled base sequence to obtain an uplink data stream. For example, the protocol stack instrument can perform channel estimation, equalization, decoding, etc. on the uplink data packet based on the first scrambled base sequence, and finally obtain an uplink data stream.

[0179] Optionally, the protocol stack instrument further includes a processing module. After updating the first time slot number and the first half frame number, the EPLD module generates a second time slot interrupt signal based on the first time slot interrupt signal. Correspondingly, the EPLD module sends the second time slot interrupt signal, the second time slot number, and the second half frame number to the processing module, and the second time slot number and the second half frame number are used to control the protocol stack timing.

[0180] Such as Figure 6As shown in the figure, the processing module includes a main control board, Layer 2 (L2), and a Physical Layer (PL). Among them, the main control board further includes Operations and Maintenance (OM), High Layer (HL), and Adaptive Data Layer (ADL). L2 further includes Packet Data Convergence Protocol (PDCP), Radio Link Control (RLC), and Media Access Control (MAC). PL further includes X86, Field-Programmable Gate Array (FPGA), and Ethernet interface.

[0181] Specifically, after receiving the second time slot interruption signal, the processing module generates first configuration information based on the second time slot number and the second half-frame number, and performs scrambling processing on the downlink data stream based on this first configuration information to generate downlink data packets.

[0182] In the embodiments of the present application, there may be multiple processing modules included in the protocol stack instrument. The EPLD module sends the second time slot interruption signal, the second time slot number, and the second half-frame number to each processing module, thereby ensuring that the timing of all processing modules in the protocol stack instrument is consistent. In the process of generating and sending downlink data packets, it involves the pre-configuration of underlying parameters and the subsequent generation and transmission of front-end data, and these processes are completed in different processing modules. The pre-configuration of underlying parameters is the configuration of the first configuration information. The first configuration information may include the first scrambling base sequence scrambled by the second time slot number and the second half-frame number, may include the time domain position and frequency domain position of the downlink data packet, may include the size of the downlink data stream, and the configuration of these parameters may be performed in different processing modules. If the timing of different processing modules in the protocol stack instrument is inconsistent, it will lead to missed detection or missed transmission of data.

[0183] After generating the first configuration information, scrambling processing is performed on the downlink data stream based on the first configuration information to generate downlink data packets. Among them, the scrambling process may include coding processing, may include processing the downlink data stream through the time domain position and frequency domain position of the downlink data packet, and so on.

[0184] After generating a downlink data packet, send the downlink data packet to the simulation platform device. Optionally, the protocol stack instrument sends the downlink data packet to the simulation platform device through the first Ethernet interface. Correspondingly, the simulation platform device receives the downlink data packet sent by the protocol stack instrument through the second Ethernet interface, and based on the second time slot number and the second half-frame number, parses and processes the downlink data packet to obtain a downlink data stream. The parsing process may include a series of processes such as channel estimation, equalization, and decoding.

[0185] Specifically, the simulation platform device performs scrambling processing on the second basic sequence of the simulation platform device based on the second time slot number and the second half-frame number to obtain a second scrambled basic sequence. In the embodiment of the present application, the second basic sequence is the basic sequence of the second reference signal of the simulation platform device, and the second reference signal is the reference signal of the simulation platform device defined by the 3GPP protocol. After obtaining the second scrambled basic sequence, the simulation platform device parses and processes the downlink data packet based on the second scrambled basic sequence to obtain a downlink data stream. For example, the simulation platform device can perform channel estimation, equalization, decoding, etc. on the downlink data packet based on the second scrambled basic sequence, and finally obtain a downlink data stream.

[0186] Figure 7 This is a schematic diagram of the comparison of the time slot numbers of the protocol stack instrument and the simulation platform device provided in the embodiment of the present application. As Figure 7 shown, different time slots can perform different types of interactions. For example, time slots 1, 2, 3, and 8 are used for the transmission of synchronization packets (sync), time slot 4 is used for the transmission of broadcast signals, time slot 7 is used for the transmission of random access messages 1 (Msg1) to 4 (Msg4), time slot 9 is used for paging, and time slot 10 is used for service interaction. Since the time slot number of the protocol stack instrument is updated based on the uplink data packet sent by the simulation platform device, and the simulation platform device also updates its own time slot number when sending the uplink data packet, the time slot numbers of the simulation platform device and the protocol stack instrument are synchronized.

[0187] After the protocol stack instrument and the simulation platform device establish a connection, the simulation platform device drives the protocol stack instrument to initiate BBIQ data interaction. The protocol stack instrument does not drive the service based on clock resources and waits for the simulation platform device to send sample data to sense the system time progress. Whether there is uplink data at this time or not, the simulation platform device will send uplink data to inform the instrument of the system time progress, and the protocol stack instrument will also feedback the downlink data of the simulation platform device to respond to the system timing tracking. Including the TDD mode, regardless of the uplink and downlink ratio stages, the simulation platform device and the protocol stack instrument need to transmit data to complete the simulation system timing advancement and response, which has nothing to do with the actual service.

[0188] In the disconnection phase, as Figure 5As shown in the figure, the simulation platform device sends a disconnection request packet to the protocol stack instrument to request disconnection from the protocol stack instrument. After the protocol stack instrument receives the disconnection request packet, the protocol stack instrument sends a disconnection response packet to the simulation platform device. When the simulation platform device receives the disconnection response packet, the connection between the simulation platform device and the protocol stack instrument is disconnected.

[0189] In summary, the solution of the embodiment of the present application can update and promote the timing by the uplink data packet sent by the simulation platform device, can match the processing speeds between the protocol stack instrument and the simulation platform device, and can improve the connection test effect by testing the simulation platform device with the uplink data stream and the downlink data stream. Further, the solution of the embodiment of the present application does not require the deployment of a radio frequency module, realizes data interaction based on the Ethernet protocol through an Ethernet interface, and ensures the success rate of terminal chip flow by intervening in the simulation test before the terminal chip flow by the protocol stack instrument.
