From Phased Array Antenna Design, Prototyping, FR2 Open Source Research, to FR2/FR3 Test Solutions

The development of 5G/6G technologies has led to advanced communication. TMYTEK explored 5G/6G communication from Phased Array Antennas (PAA) to FR2/3 Communication Testbeds and mmW-SDR technology, featuring the capability of the antenna systems and beamforming enable rapid prototyping, and algorithm testing offering an adaptable testbed for developing versatile wireless communication applications.

The mmW-OAI, an extension of mmW-SDR, is deeply integrated with the OAI open source stack for 5G FR2 End-to-End test network experiments and trials, serving as a reference implementation for 5G FR2 SA end-to-end testing in mmWave bands with commercial UEs. The fully open-source OpenAirInterface (OAI) stack can be expanded by researchers interested in beam management algorithms and 6G use cases like ISAC and RIS, including components such as the OAI CN5G, OAI gNB (CU/DU), beamformer UHD driver, and a user-friendly cloud-based dashboard for network monitoring and control.

This year, TMYTEK teams up with Anritsu to present FR2/FR3 Test Solutions in 5G NR WaveGen & Analysis for mass production. TMYTEK's modular bidirectional broadband up/down frequency converter UD Module and UD Box expand legacy testing instrument frequency ranges to 20 GHz/44 GHz, supporting various bands like UWB, C/X/Ka/Q/Ku-Band to 5G NR FR2 and high-bandwidth applications up to 1 GHz. This solution offers simplicity, flexibility, and cost-effectiveness for 5G NR FR2/FR3 WaveGen & Analysis, minimizing system integration costs and maximizing investment while streamlining the testing process.

The Importance of QoE/QoS Testing in 5G Networks and Introduction to Testing Methods Using real user equipment

The 5G network is expected to cater to different communication services and requirements depending on various use cases. To evaluate the quality of these services, it is important to define and measure the user experience metrics (QoE) that are crucial for each service. However, focusing solely on QoE parameters may not provide insight into improving user experience. This is where other network parameters such as QoS become important. By measuring QoS parameters alongside QoE, it may be possible to identify factors hindering QoE improvement. Capturing parameters for each node, link, or protocol within the network during the same test enables powerful troubleshooting capabilities. In this seminar, we will introduce various measurement methods for capturing layer information, including QoE parameters, with real-world examples

Wireless network issues and communication stabilization/visualization when returning to the office

Post-pandemic Work Styles and the Need for Flexible Wireless Networks

The post-pandemic work environment has seen an increase in the proportion of office work. However, not all employees are returning to the office full-time, and hybrid work arrangements are still prevalent. This means that the number of people working in the office fluctuates on a daily basis.

In offices with fluctuating occupancy rates, the number of devices also needs to be flexible. This naturally leads to a preference for wireless networks using laptops.

Challenges of Scaling Wireless Networks for Fluctuating Occupancy

A key challenge in this scenario is determining the scale of the network to design for. If the network is designed for maximum occupancy, it will be overkill for average usage, leading to unnecessary costs, including ongoing maintenance fees. On the other hand, if the network is designed for average usage, it will not be able to handle peak occupancy, leading to slowdowns and other performance issues.

Tbridge: Stabilizing Wireless Networks for Flexible Workstyles

By identifying and addressing these performance issues, it is possible to achieve a stable and reliable office network that supports flexible workstyles. This seminar will discuss these challenges and introduce our wireless stabilization solution, Tbridge, which offers a comprehensive approach to optimizing wireless networks for fluctuating occupancy.

TbridgeT-Manager: Continuous Network Visualization and Investment Planning

In addition to Tbridge, we will also introduce TbridgeT-Manager, our integrated network visualization solution. This tool provides continuous visibility into network performance and can help with investment planning for network upgrades.
