Iu-PS emulator (PCI
Version)
The Iu-PS emulator system is a
cost-effective testing system that provides the user the means to
perform advanced traffic tests for the performance evaluation of the
Iu-Packet Switched (PS) interface. It simulates a single Radio
Network Control (RNC) node by generating signaling and data traffic,
over the Iu-PS interface, towards the Core Network under
test.
