Abstract
A method and system for performing Over-The-Air (OTA) testing for 5G New Radio (NR) beamforming is presented. In one embodiment the method includes transmitting, by only the User Equipments (UEs) U and Sx, the Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) symbols containing UL Demodulation Reference Signal (DMRS) that are orthogonal to each other during Uplink (UL) subframes; performing, by a gNB, channel estimation in the same UL subframe, precoding matrix computation, and antenna elements weighting coefficient computations; transmitting, by the gNB in a subsequent Downlink (DL) subframe, known data streams to UEs U and Susing the massive MU-MIMO beamforming coefficients; collecting by the host PC, the IQ samples from the UE U and all the victim UEs Vin the DL subframe; and evaluating a performance of the beam that was meant for UE U.
