Description
Summary:The path towards a realistic and cost-effective 5G over-the-air (OTA) testing scenario is not clear yet. With a tremendous pressure on 5G standards development, network deployments and device manufacturing, the realistic answers that a 5G OTA test system should provide are far from being obtained to date. This article identifies some of the challenges ahead with possible solutions.
