Keysight and Capgemini Validate 5G New Radio RAN Solution for Non-Terrestrial Networks
- End-to-end validation of non-terrestrial networks using Capgemini’s 5G New Radio central unit and distributed unit framework with Keysight
- Enables Capgemini to quickly deploy 5G New Radio non-terrestrial network radio access network by validating network protocols and orbit channel modeling
- Solutions emulate a constellation of satellites in low earth orbit and emulate real network traffic
The validation is based on 3GPP Release 17 standards which includes significant enhancements to several radio access network functionalities. In the context of NTN, 5G radio access network (RAN) gNodeB base stations continue to play a crucial role, especially in satellite-based communication systems. gNode B brings more reliable connectivity, extending the range of 5G to remote areas, while also paving the way for innovation and new NTN deployments, such as internet of things (IoT) and connected vehicles.
Capgemini validated its 5G NR gNodeB feature using Keysight’s UeSim Emulation RAN solution, which emulates NTN enabled user devices, and Keysight’s Propsim solution, which emulates satellite conditions such as delay and doppler shift. The solution addresses the complexities associated with the introduction of 5G NR gNodeB NTN features by quickly testing and validating network protocols and orbit channel modeling.
The first live demonstration of Capgemini’s 5G NR NTN CU/DU framework capability took place at
