The goal of this study was to continue developing a message tracing and debugging tool for a distributed unit component - Cp-rt, which could support the Cp-rt component and improve message sequence tracking, enable system analysis and reduce debugging time.
The study was conducted by an inductive approach for an internal project in case company. The project under a distributed unit context focused on the development of a tool- Endeavour, which is a graphical user interface-based test framework and was developed inhouse for 3G technology and several principles and features were also incorporated into the development of 5G. The development of Endeavour, however, was only manipulated in the distributed unit. The assumption of study is to convert messages into corresponding format and display its sequential flow chart in the Endeavour.
The study covered the software design and implementation of necessary modifications, including message format conversion, protocol handling, and synchronization between Cp-rt and other 5G components. Key developments include the automation of protocol file generation, improved message serialization, and enhanced system compatibility.
The study found that Endeavour tool could be capable of handling new messages in the distributed unit using well-designed software plan, and considering the compatibility with other units in the 5G system. However, the challenges remain in areas such as synchronization, message parsing, and scalability. Such peer development merely lays the groundwork for optimization and ensures that the Endeavour framework continues to support evolving 5G network requirements.
