Keysight solutions enable the automotive
industry to accelerate commercialization of connected cars and
autonomous vehicles
Keysight Technologies, Inc. (NYSE: KEYS), a leading technology
company that helps enterprises, service providers and governments
accelerate innovation to connect and secure the world, announced
that the company achieved 3rd Generation Partnership Project (3GPP)
validation of the industry’s first cellular vehicle-to-everything
communications (C-V2X) radio frequency (RF) conformance test case.
As a result, Keysight is enabling the automotive industry to
accelerate commercialization of connected cars and autonomous
vehicles.
Performance validation of C-V2X is crucial for C-V2X
certification and commercialization. 3GPP validation of Keysight’s
conformance test case enables the C-V2X connected ecosystem to
achieve performance compliance with the specifications of the 3GPP
standards, both for Release 14 and 5G new radio (NR) Release 16.
The test case validation, which took place in Austin, Texas, on
October 23rd, was achieved using Keysight’s 5G radio frequency (RF)
and radio resource management (RRM) DVT & Conformance Toolset
and the Qualcomm 9150 C-V2X chipset platform, which is designed to
deliver precise positioning, efficient processing and security
capabilities.
“Keysight’s vision of enabling reliable, efficient
transportation started more than three years ago, and was
reinforced when we joined the 5G Automotive Association (5GAA), a
cross-industry consortium that helps define 5G V2X communications,”
said Kailash Narayanan, vice president and general manager of
Keysight's Wireless Test group. “Our C-V2X test solution portfolio
offers a comprehensive approach to testing RF protocol and
application layers, enabling users to confidently evolve with the
latest 3GPP standards and safety requirements. We look forward to
actively supporting the full suite of conformance scenarios, which
will accelerate C-V2X device certification.”
Keysight supports short-range wireless technologies, such as
C-V2X. C-V2X is expected to be instrumental in transforming
in-vehicle experiences and delivering safer road conditions for
passengers, drivers and pedestrians. Keysight 5G RF/RRM DVT &
Conformance Toolset offers C-V2X end-to-end signaling test
capabilities that include Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS)
signal emulation for validating User-to-UTRAN (Uu) and PC5
links.
“Our working relationship with Keysight in 5G has led to another
key industry milestone which will help create a unifying
connectivity fabric based on C-V2X technology for the autonomous
vehicle of the future,” said Prashant Dogra, vice president,
engineering, Qualcomm Technologies, Inc. ”We look forward in
continuing our relationship with Keysight to demonstrate 5G
NR-based C-V2X’s capabilities that support ultra-reliable
communication capabilities used for autonomous driving.”
Keysight’s 5G RF/RRM DVT & Conformance Toolset, part of
Keysight’s suite of 5G network emulation solutions,
cost-effectively addresses a wide range of test needs on a single
platform using common software. Early access to a wide range of 5G
NR protocol and RF test cases for both non-standalone (NSA) and
standalone (SA) mode in FR1 and FR2 allows market makers to quickly
and cost-effectively address global test requirements of 5G
multi-mode devices in different form factors. Keysight 5G
Conformance Toolsets, used by test labs including Bureau Veritas,
Tech Mahindra and PCTEST, offer a leading number of test cases
validated by both by the Global Certification Forum (GCF) and PCS
Type Certification Review Board (PTCRB), which are key
certification bodies for wireless technologies.
