O-RAN O-RU test patterns
- Billy Marshall
- Neil Jackson
These patterns are for use with Paragon-neo to test O-RU devices as specified in the O-RAN W4.TS.CONF document Clause 3.3.3. The Paragon-neo on-instrument O-RAN Conformance App contains built-in patterns to test to this specification, further details for testing to the CONF specification can be found in the Paragon-neo on-instrument Test Guide: CX3014 O-RAN O-RU Testing.
Patterns in the table below are not available on-instrument for the latest version of Paragon Neo (R11), because either:
They were not part of the CONF specification at the time of the update to Paragon-neo
They have been superseded by updates to the CONF specification and therefore have also been replaced on-instrument. Historic patterns are provided for the case that testing to the patterns from previous versions of the specifications is desired.
Patterns for download
The table below details the patterns and the download link, when downloaded they can be configured as user PTP impairment patterns. If an updated CAT Mask is required for the stimulus update, this is linked to in the “Pattern Description” column below, further instructions on use can be found: CAT Masks
Spec. Change Version | Type | Pattern Description | Download Link |
