Keysight Combines 5G and Global Navigation Satellite System Technology to Accelerate Implementation of Location Based Services (LBS)
Keysight Technologies announced its achievement as the first company to receive Global Certification Forum (GCF) validation for a 5G location based services (LBS) Assisted Galileo (A-Galileo) test case. This breakthrough combines 5G new radio (NR) with global navigation satellite system (GNSS) technology, enhancing location accuracy for mobile devices across various sectors, including healthcare and public safety. The validation, confirmed at the GCF CAG meeting #72 on October 21, supports mobile vendors in ensuring compliance with 3GPP specifications.
- First to gain GCF validation for 5G LBS A-Galileo test case.
- Enhances the credibility of mobile device location accuracy across multiple sectors.
- Facilitates compliance with 3GPP specifications for mobile phone vendors.
- None.
First to gain
This industry achievement will accelerate the implementation of LBS in smartphones by enabling mobile phone vendors to verify that designs comply to the latest 3GPP specifications that support accurate location positioning in a wide range of sectors, including healthcare, road and aerial transportation, emergency and rescue services, public safety, and homeland security. Highly precise positioning services also enable mobile operators to deliver personalized services supporting entertainment, hospitality, and retail applications.
“The GCF validation of the first 5G LBS test case demonstrates Keysight’s commitment to supporting rapid development of technologies that enhance 5G NR deployment, benefiting consumers, enterprises, and government organizations,” said
LBS leverages different technologies, including global positioning system (GPS), GNSS, BeiDou, Galileo, beamforming, and round-trip time (RTT) to geographically locate a user. LBS test cases allow users to verify sensitivity, accuracy, and dynamic range in mobile phones that leverage satellite constellations such as GPS, Galileo, GLONASS, and BeiDou to identify precise geographic location.
The GCF conformance agreement group (CAG) meeting #72, held on
The S8705A toolset used the E7515B UXM 5G Wireless Test Platform, a compact signaling test platform with multiformat stack support, rich processing power, and abundant RF resources for emulating various mobility scenarios in a 5G network as well as a recommended GNSS emulator to deliver the LBS test case. At the CAG #72 meeting, it was also confirmed that Keysight continues to support a leading number of GCF validated conformance test cases for 5G RF, RRM, and protocol testing.
