This thesis examines the applicability of a multi-UE device in a laboratory test
environment and evaluates its capability to provide the measurement visibility
required by the commissioning company. The objective of the work was to
determine whether the device can support controlled testing scenarios by offering
access to 5G NR performance indicators, including throughput, SINR, RSRP and
BLER. The evaluation process began by building the entire test setup from the
ground up and integrating the multi-UE device with base station and radio unit
using direct RF cabling to ensure stable and repeatable measurement conditions.
This evaluation was conducted using the device’s integrated management
software, with measurements retrieved directly from the graphical interface. The
results show that all essential parameters were available and updated reliably in
real time for each UE instance. The device was also successfully operated in a
multi-UE configuration with two simultaneous UE units, demonstrating proper
parallel measurement functionality. Some usability limitations were observed,
particularly in interface consistency and in the automated test plan features,
where downlink iPerf traffic generation could not be executed and downlink
throughput measurements had to be performed manually.
Overall, the findings indicate that the multi-UE device is suitable for the
commissioning party’s initial testing needs and provides a functional platform for
basic NR measurement tasks. At the same time, the work identifies several areas
for potential improvement including enhanced automation support, refined
logging capabilities and broader multi-UE scalability for future test scenarios.
