According to one embodiment, a mobile terminal testing device which tests a mobile terminal including a plurality of transmitting antennas by transmitting/receiving radio signals between the mobile terminal testing device and the mobile terminal, includes a radio signal processing module configured to transmit and receive radio signals to and from the mobile terminal and a controller configured to cause the mobile terminal to switch one from another among the plurality of transmitting antennas by a predetermined radio signal transmitted to the mobile terminal via the radio signal processing module.

Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described that support resource utilization based event triggering. A wireless node in a wireless communications system may establish a connection with a core network via a path that includes one or more relay nodes. The wireless node may determine that a network load associated with one or more paths between the wireless node and the core network has changed, or that a difference between two or more network loads of different paths has changed. Based on such a determination, the wireless node may transmit a report to the network. In some cases, the network may receive the report from the wireless node, and may initiate a path change based on the report.

A system for wireless communication, the system may include a processor configured to generate encoded packets representative of input packets. The processor may also be configured to determine a probability of a transmission error for each link of a plurality of links. In addition, the processor may be configured to determine a probability of a link blockage error for each link of the plurality of links. Further, the processor may be configured to determine an allocation scheme for the encoded packets on the plurality of links based on the probability of the transmission error and the probability of the link blockage error for each link of the plurality of links. The processor may be configured to allocate the encoded packets on the plurality of links according to the allocation scheme. The processor may also be configured to instruct to wirelessly transmit the encoded packets on the plurality of links.

The disclosed system for testing a massive MIMO beamforming antenna array of arbitrary size includes an anechoic chamber, and a mount for a MIMO array antenna positioned in the chamber, wherein the array has at least 8×4 antenna elements that are individually activated to steer transmissions from the array. The system includes dual element antenna probes positionable in the anechoic chamber, with feeds coupling one or more UE sources to the antenna probes; and the UE sources generate RF in OTA communication with the array, emulating multiple UE devices. Additionally the system includes base station electronics coupled to the array, and a test controller coupled to the base station electronics. The test controller signals the UE sources OTA via the array to invoke a connection to the UE sources and measure OTA channel performance between the array and the multiple UE devices emulated, the performance including at least throughput.

A system for testing network performance using a server farm is described. A server in a server farm connected to a management network and a core network may execute virtual machines for multiple users that generate interfaces that the users interact with via the management network connection to configure network performance tests. The virtual machines convert the test configurations into instructions for a testing application and execute the tests using the testing application and the connection to the core network. Test results are provided to the users by the interfaces generated by their respective virtual machines via the management network connection.

Described herein are techniques, devices, and systems for using a machine learning model(s) and/or artificial intelligence algorithm(s) to optimize testing of components of a system operated by a wireless carrier. For example, data generated as a result of executing a first test of a suite of tests may be provided as input to a trained machine learning model(s) to classify one or more tests of the suite of tests as having a particular characteristic. A to-be-executed test may be classified as likely to pass or likely to fail when executed, for example. An already-executed test may be classified as reliable or unreliable, as another example. Based on the classification of the test(s), the suite of tests may be modified to optimize testing of the wireless carrier's system.
