the GCF and the PTCRB. Therefore, the test organizations are able to provide
high quality and high efficiency test services and are widely recognized by
operators.
3. Discuss test details with the test organization.
Provide the test organization with the test report of Huawei modules and the
modifications of the integrated equipment. The test organization then can
determine the detailed test items and determine the test schedule accordingly.
With the detailed test items and schedule, terminal manufacturers can determine
accurate plans of product development and marketing.
4. Perform overall-system certification.
The integrated equipment can pass the over-all certification test easily if
Huawei's design suggestions are complied with.
5. Obtain the test report and the DOC.
The test report describes the details about the overall-system test that operators
are concerned about. The GCF certification is completed upon uploading of the
DOC to the GCF website.
Overall-System PTCRB Certification
Huawei modules pass the PTCRB certification before being released to the market.
Huawei performs 2000 to 3000 test items for each type of modules. The major tests
are as follows:
Protocol conformance test
RF conformance test
UIM conformance test
The details about the certification tests are defined in the 3GPP test standards.
According to the PTCRB certification criteria, the test reports of modules can be used
for the overall-system certification. The changed parts, however, need to be re-tested.
Regarding the product structure, the antennas and UIM card interface circuits are
modified in the integrated equipment. For this reason, the antennas and the UIM card
interface circuits need to be re-tested in the overall-system certification.
OTA test
Different from the GCF certification, the PTCRB certification does not require
field testing. The antenna performance is verified through OTA tests. OTA tests
are defined by the CTIA for verifying antenna performance.
UIM test
UIM card interface circuits are re-designed in the integrated equipment, which
may result in changes in the electrical features of the UIM card interface. For this
reason, the UIM card interface circuits need to be re-tested. The UIM test aims
to verify the overall performance of UIM interface with appropriate test
instruments in accordance with the relevant 3GPP protocol requirements.
Similar to the GCF certification, the PTCRB certification requires a small number of
test items for integrated equipment. In addition, the required test items are easy to
perform with appropriate design suggestions. Huawei also provides customers with a
PTCRB test report of the module. The test is a basis for the PTCRB certification of
the equipment integrated with the module.
