MME Functional Tester

The LTE MME Functional Tester is a comprehensive testing tool for the Mobile Management Entity (MME). The system emulates all of the LTE network elements connected to the MME, and tests the MME’s interfaces to other network elements, as well as correctness of implementation based on all of the relevant 3GPP released standards.

 

Description

Testing an LTE network’s MME requires testing the network element’s different Diameter interfaces, as well as testing how it interacts with other connected elements in the network.

The LTE MME Functional Tester provides all these testing features and more. The MME tester emulates all of the LTE network elements surrounding the MME (System Under Test), such as an LTE eNodeB, the S-GW, and the SGSN. It tests the S1-MME, S11, S10, S3, S6a, S13 and SBc interfaces of the MME.

The MME Functional Tester tests the correctness of an implementation of LTE Mobile Management Entity in accordance with 3GPP TS 36.413 (S1 Application Protocol), TS 24.301 (NAS), TS 29.274 (GTPv2-C) and other relevant Release 8, Release 9 and Release 10 standards.

Polaris Networks has defined the functional test cases for MME testing. These test cases cover all MME procedures, including UE Attach, Detach, Handover, Paging, Tracking Area Updates, etc.
