ZTE verifies 5G dynamic resource deployment
In this article (4)
ZTE announced it has become the first vendor to complete high-layer tests of experimental network equipment prototypes as part of phase II of China’s national 5G technical network architecture tests.
The company was able to verify functions including base functions of split central unit/distributed unit architecture, dynamic resource deployment and dual-connectivity mobility. The testing phase also included verification of basic wireless network architecture and functions.
During the high-layer test of experimental wireless network prototypes, ZTE used its cloud-ready central units as well as a one-click new radio system with central unit-distributed unit split architecture.
The verification follows air interface tests as part of phase II of the IMT-2020 Promotion Group’s China 5G Technology Research and Development Trial.
In these tests ZTE showcased a range of products including virtualized core networks. Connectivity tests were conducted with instrument and chip vendors, and the company also conducted lab and field tests. Testing results met the key performance requirements for 5G networks.
“The 5G technical testing organized by the IMT-2020 (5G) Promotion Group plays an important role in 5G development, and is critical in promoting 5G key technologies, verifying 5G solutions, and supporting the freezing of a unified 5G standard,” ZTE GM Bai Gang said.
“ZTE will continue to fully engage in phase III work.”
