Abstract

The Fifth Generation Mobile Communication System (5G) test, as a key link of the entire communication industry chain, can verify the whole 5G network equipment and the new technologies that are constantly evolving. It has a variety of flexible test technologies, and can truly and comprehensively reflect the characteristics of the network conditions, to enhance the 5G network coverage ability, comprehensively improve the overall performance of the network to provide a strong guarantee. This paper gives a brief overview of the challenges facing 5G communication test technologies, and introduces the OTA test technology of the new port and its application advantages to Massive MIMO technology.
