Abstract: The disclosed method tests performance of a wireless telecommunication network. The method obtains from the network a network trace including packets exchanged among devices associated with the network. The method identifies packets within the network trace that match properties specified by the first and second tables, and obtains a call flow by chronologically mapping the identified packets, using the timestamps of the packets. The method determines whether a packet associated with the call flow matches the properties specified by the third table by comparing an IE value contained in the packet to the IE value included in the third table. Based on the determining, the method creates a call flow validation results report indicating whether the call flow satisfied the properties specified in the multiple tables. The call flow validation results report can indicate whether the network has passed the test, and/or whether the wireless network has any problematic components.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices are described for wireless communication at a UE. A wireless devices may use a shared or unlicensed spectrum configuration based on a prioritization scheme for the shared frequency resources. The prioritization scheme may assign a priority to different operators and may enable devices associated with a prioritized operator to access the shared band over non-prioritized devices. For example, a non-prioritized device may win the channel and begin communicating over the shared or unlicensed spectrum. The non-prioritized device may then periodically cease transmission for a set interval (i.e., a preemption opportunity) and listen for an indication that a prioritized device wishes to use the channel. If a prioritized device begins transmitting (or, in some cases, if the prioritized device transmits a medium preemption indication) the non-prioritized device may relinquish control of the channel.
