Current Employment Details
The FOA phase is the first deployment (pilot) of the equipment or technology where we do Trial and Error process for different type of Test Cases for Each Software Load. Feature Test Cases for example NE ANR ( Automatic NBE relationship case, Network Slicing Case. We also work on event-based Handover Test cases. A1/A2/A3/A4/A5/B1/B2., Serving becomes better than threshold, Serving becomes worse than threshold, Neighbor becomes offset better than SpCell, Neighbor becomes better than threshold, SpCell becomes worse than threshold1 and neighbor becomes better than threshold2, Neighbour becomes offset better than SCell, Inter RAT neighbour becomes better than threshold, PCell becomes worse than threshold1 and inter RAT neighbor becomes better than threshold2, We generally schedule the test cases and implement with the DT(Drive Tester) with Xcal tool Later we process the data with Xcap tool. There we go with the RF KPIs, Signalling Message, SIP Message(For Calls) Validate the configuration is correct or not and validate the test cases if it is executed as per expected or not. Provide Drive Route for Cluster Or Mobility Test using google earth or Map info. Responsible for implementing the LS3/LS6/mm/VONR/VOLTE/ regression Test Cases to ensure the accuracy, retainability and each software upgrade on vCU and vDU. Line Curve Analysis for SA Vonr vs VOLTE Call flow and its performance. Validate new parameter: Congestion Based MCS decision Mode: PDSCH Config and congestion threshold PRB usage for MCS decision mode. New parameter congestion based MCS decision mode (PDSCH Config). Enable Congestion based MCS decision mode and set a threshold PRB Usage. Verify BWP switching with VoNR Call. Verify BWP switching with VoNR Call + Peak DL Data + Peak UL Data. Verify BWP signaling with N77+FR2 VONR call set up followed by NR DC Session, and NR DC Session followed by VONR call set up. Verify BWP signaling T+F+F (n77+N77+n5+n2) VONR Call Setup and Peak DL Throughput. Validate that BWP switching is disabled when PUSCH Type-A Repetition is active (cell edge) (BASELINE for BWP+Type-A Repetition Coexistence in 23BP2). PUSCH repetition type A with DCI Operation with VONR. PUSCH repetition type A operation for mobility (intra frequency) supporting repetition with VONR. PUSCH repetition type A operation for mobility (inter frequency) supporting repetition with VONR. PUSCH repetition type A operation for mobility (source not supporting repetition to target cell supporting repetition) with VONR.
