Abstract

In this paper, several novel test methods are proposed for 5G mobile network field trials. As it is known, field trial plays an important role in wireless network commercialization process. However, several new technologies have been considered in 5G communication networks, such as massive MIMO. Therefore, conventional filed trial methods used in 4G mobile networks cannot fulfill the new test requirements for 5G mobile networks. Four new field trial methods have been discussed in our work. Moreover, real measurement data has been collected to demonstrate the proposed methods from 5G large scale filed trial supported by China Mobile Communications Group Co., Ltd.
