Mobile World Congress 2024

This demo shows how to validate the ability of a 5G New Radio device with non-terrestrial network (NTN) capability to deliver high-quality-of-service applications with Keysight solutions. This demo includes video calls with the support of satellite handovers (NTN-NTN) to ensure service continuity and seamless integration with terrestrial networks using a 5G mobile test platform from Qualcomm Technologies.

This demo features two use cases. For R&D, we show how to build reliable 5G NTNs and Long Term Evolution NTN unmodified direct-tocell handsets and validate them under realistic conditions. For operator acceptance, we show how Keysight's first-to-market satellite operator acceptance solution was used to test (Narrowband Internet of Things) NB-IoT NTN conformance with Skylo's certification program.

This demo showcases Wi-Fi 7 signaling and RF analysis using the new Keysight UXM Wireless Connectivity Test Platform, which supports both Wi-Fi 7 and 5G. To streamline systematic evaluation and testing of XR devices, Keysight Eggplant automation software, which uses machine learning and automation intelligence with a synthetic human, achieves fully robotic and repeatable test automation of new Wi-Fi and 5G XR devices.

This demo shows three use cases including how to maximize network performance, how to reduce energy consumption, and how to secure the network and increase its resilience. The live demo shows how controlled reception pattern antennas for GNSS receivers, used by network infrastructure for time synchronization and positioning accuracy, can improve a network’s resilience to GNSS interference, spoofing, and jamming.

This video demo shows how the Keysight RICtest solution helps optimize a near-real-time RAN intelligent controller (RIC) from Juniper Networks with an integrated AI / ML-driven traffic steering xApp from Rimedo Labs. The solution uses increased network intelligence to improve user experience and reduce energy consumption.

In this video demo, we demonstrate how the Keysight RAN sustainability (E-Plane) test suite helps validate and optimize the energy-saving techniques of an Open RAN radio unit without impacting network performance.

Keysight introduces the new AI-assisted radio channel emulation solutions for accelerating the development and evaluation of complex 6G technologies. The solutions demonstrate the upper midband FR3 end-to-end testing in the lab. They enable the evaluation of new 6G technologies such as network sensing and extreme MIMO.

This demonstration shows how Keysight solutions enable the design and validation of a neural receiver. With the NVIDIA Sionna library used to train the neural receiver, ray-traced channels allow for site-specific training data generation and hence the creation of digital twins of real-world systems. When the training is complete, the neural receiver is deployed in an Open RAN testbed using Keysight's equipment connected to a FlexFi commercial radio unit from LITEON Technology. To emulate the site-specific channel, the Keysight PROPSIM channel emulator is used.

This demo shows how to use Keysight Electronic Design Automation (EDA) software in technology research. We replace the traditional channel estimation signal processing with two neural networks (NN), one designed and trained by InterDigital and one designed by Keysight. We then compare the performance between traditional and ML techniques in an EDA software environment and a real-world OTA environment.
