Define the scenario
Specify mobility, interference, channel conditions, traffic and hardware.
A STAGED APPROACH
From repeatability to relevance.
Each stage answers a different question. Progress depends on the evidence and the practical constraints of the next environment.
- 01
Controlled simulation
Establish a reproducible baseline, scenario definitions and full-pipeline measurements.
- 02
Real radio measurements
Check data availability, calibration, timing and the gap between simulated and observed conditions.
- 03
5G testbed evaluation
Evaluate integration and measure BLER, HARQ, rank, throughput and latency under repeatable scenarios.
- 04
Scoped customer pilot
Agree on environment, interfaces, success criteria, responsibilities and a decision point before expanding.
Keep comparisons fair
Use matched configurations, repeat runs and report distributions alongside averages.
Report the limitations
Distinguish simulation, lab measurements and field results in every report.
