Abstract: A mobile terminal simulator for a wireless telecommunications network includes: a simulation engine, providing a bit stream, according to a communications standard; a conversion stage, which converts the bit stream into a baseband signal in the frequency domain; a mapping and transformation stage, which generates transmission samples in the time domain as a function of the baseband signal; and a transmission module, connectable to a Base Radio Station of a wireless telecommunications network by a communication port. A transmission channel simulator module is connected between the conversion stage and the mapping and transformation stage and processes the baseband signal in the frequency domain so as to simulate a transmission channel between the communication port and the Base Radio Station.

Abstract: A test apparatus for a telecommunication network includes: simulated mobile terminals, which supply respective bit streams; and SDR stages, which receive the bit streams of respective simulated mobile terminals that communicate with respective base stations and have respective SDR uplink stages and SDR downlink stages. An SDR uplink stage includes: at least one processing branch, which converts the bit stream of a respective mobile terminal into a baseband signal; a mapping module, which generates a respective uplink sub-carrier vector via a mapping of the baseband signals; an inter-cell interference module, which combines the sub-carrier vector with the uplink sub-carrier vectors of at least one of the other SDR stages; and an inverse-transform module, which performs an inverse transform of the baseband signals.
