  • Patent number: 9743296
    Abstract: Disclosed herein are methods and systems for emulating testing-plan channel conditions in wireless networks. One embodiment takes the form of a process that includes identifying a data-rate threshold and one or more testing-plan channel conditions. The process also includes identifying testing-scenario channel conditions corresponding to the testing-plan channel conditions. The process also includes selecting an attenuation offset based on a comparison of the one or more identified testing-scenario channel conditions to the one or more identified testing-plan channel conditions. The process also includes measuring a data rate with a testing-scenario attenuation level set equal to the selected attenuation offset. The process also includes storing testing-plan-compliance data associated with the measured data rate and the data-rate threshold.
