Radio Network Controller Simulator

Automate creation and reception of messages in 3G networks.

Challenges

Difficult to manage RANAP messaging in 3G networks.

All the messages send to and receive from Radio Network Controller (RNC) have to be tested for all their optional parameters and boundary conditions.

Results
Various 3G and 2G combination of messages particularly in the context of handoff are very tedious to develop.

Tool (Solution): Coscend's Radio Network Controller Simulator

Automates of the creation of the messages at the click of a button.

Ability to send and receive messages using Data Link Layer Simulator.

Key Features

Uses IP connectivity and DLL Simulator to exchange messages.

RNC simulator generates messages and sends to its side MTP3 application.

MTP3 application gives to DLL Simulator, which transmits to the other end.

Benefits
3G switch can be unit tested at less cost and in a quicker to develop environment of the RNC Simulator.

Impact

Reduce cost of software development and integration.

Accelerate time to market.
