RAN-TESTER UE
A Novel Approach for Open RAN Security Testing
Summary
This project aims to develop a software-defined tester UE for 5G and open RANs, focusing on security testing. The soft T-UE will be compatible with commercial off-the-shelf software radio hardware, supporting both standardized and custom test. Deliverables include a software repository, documentation, benchmarks, and testing scripts, offering an open-source solution to enhance security and prevent breaches.
Development Roadmap
The project consists of three phases. Phase 1 focuses on establishing the foundations for the testing methods R&D. In Phase 2, the team will develop and maintain software, integrate hardware, conduct sample testing, and collect data. Phase 3 aims to build and support a community, engage with industry and regulators, and promote widespread adoption and community-driven extensions of the testing method. For a detailed timeline of major tasks, please refer to the timeline map.
