This module introduces the fundamentals of 5G technology and the importance of device testing in the telecom industry. Learners will understand the key differences between 4G and 5G, the evolution of 5G networks, and the role of 5G device testing in ensuring performance, interoperability, and certification compliance for GCF and PTCRB approval. This module builds the conceptual foundation required for 5G device testing interviews.
This module covers the 5G NR architecture, including Standalone (SA) and Non-Standalone (NSA) modes, along with key 5G Core Network (5GC) components. Learners gain a clear understanding of 5G protocol layers (RRC, PDCP, RLC, MAC, PHY) and essential 5G call flows such as registration, data transfer, and handover, from a device testing and interview perspective.
This module explains the core fundamentals of 5G device testing, covering protocol, RF, performance, application, and conformance testing. Learners are introduced to industry-standard test equipment and tools such as Anritsu, Keysight, Rohde & Schwarz, Spirent, and Amarisoft, along with log analysis using QXDM, QCAT, and Wireshark, essential for GCF/PTCRB testing and interviews.
This module focuses on layer-wise 5G protocol testing and debugging, including RRC states and message analysis. Learners gain practical insight into troubleshooting call failures and performing 5G SA and NSA log analysis, building strong problem-solving skills required for 5G device testing roles and GCF/PTCRB interviews.
This module covers 5G RF testing and performance validation, focusing on key parameters such as RSRP, RSRQ, SINR, and CQI. Learners will understand carrier aggregation, MIMO testing, and throughput measurement and optimization, essential for 5G device certification, field validation, and GCF/PTCRB interviews.
This module explains 5G compliance and certification requirements defined by 3GPP, GCF, and PTCRB. Learners gain insight into SAR testing, interoperability (IoT) testing, and the differences between lab testing and field testing, preparing them for device certification roles and GCF/PTCRB interviews.
This module introduces test automation concepts for 5G device testing, covering the use of Python, Robot Framework, and test automation tools. Learners will understand how to write, execute, and validate automated test scripts, improving efficiency in 5G device validation, certification testing, and GCF/PTCRB interview scenarios.
