Description

  The present invention relates to a mobile terminal test apparatus for testing a mobile communication terminal.

  When a mobile communication terminal such as a mobile phone or a data communication terminal is developed, it is necessary to test whether or not the developed mobile communication terminal can communicate normally. For this reason, the mobile communication terminal to be tested is connected to a test apparatus that operates as a pseudo base station that simulates the function of an actual base station, and communication is performed between the test apparatus and the mobile communication terminal. We are conducting a test to confirm the contents.

  Further, in the 3rd Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) that creates a standard for wireless communication, a carrier aggregation (Carrier Aggregation) technique or the like is introduced in the LTE-A (Long Term Evolution-Advanced) standard. For example, this carrier aggregation is intended to improve the transmission rate by performing communication using a plurality of LTE carriers simultaneously.

  In carrier aggregation, communication is performed using a plurality of LTE carriers called component carriers (hereinafter also referred to as CC). In carrier aggregation, the transmission rate between one primary component carrier (hereinafter also referred to as PCC), which is a CC required for the mobile communication terminal to maintain a connection with the base station, and the mobile communication terminal and the base station is set. Communication is performed with one or more secondary component carriers (hereinafter also referred to as SCC) which are CCs used for improvement.

  Patent Document 1 discloses that the PCC and SCC parameters can be easily exchanged to improve the simplicity of the test and shorten the test time.

JP-A-2006-111510

  In carrier aggregation, a combination of frequency bands for performing carrier aggregation is defined. Further, in mobile communication terminals that perform carrier aggregation, combinations of frequency bands that can be handled are determined and set.

  When performing a carrier aggregation test, the test equipment must be set with a combination of frequency bands supported by the mobile communication terminal, but this combination of frequency bands varies depending on the carrier providing the communication service. Without knowing not only the specifications of the mobile communication terminal but also the specifications of the telecommunications carrier, it is not possible to know which combination is supported and the test apparatus cannot be set.

In particular, when testing is performed for all of the supported frequency band combinations, setting of the test apparatus not only requires time for setting but also tends to cause errors.

  In addition, when testing a mobile communication terminal corresponding to a plurality of communication carriers, a plurality of CCs for performing carrier aggregation must be set for each of all the corresponding communication carriers. As time is required, the difficulty increases.

  In addition to carrier aggregation, various functions such as inter-frequency handover, inter-system handover, and VoLTE (Voice over LTE) need to be tested. Since the functions supported by each telecommunications carrier are different, the setting of the test equipment is also different. Therefore, it is not easy to set up a test apparatus corresponding to these tests.

  Accordingly, the present invention provides a mobile terminal test apparatus that facilitates carrier aggregation test and the like by facilitating setting of combinations of frequency bands of carrier aggregation and setting of test setting values such as frequency information of each band. It is intended to provide.
