So what to do ??<br /><br />As my group is now working on new sys architectures/impls for LTE/NR RATs<br />for both BS and device side, I will put building such APIs on the todo list<br />on the device side (much of it is already implicitly there behind the scenes<br />anyway if you are doing proper verification - how else would the QXDM have<br />appeared) . :-)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1834236085756782640.post-62476811004848891592016-12-11T05:00:06.000+00:002016-12-11T05:00:06.000+00:00Thanks.

These are very handy apps some of which I have used during field testing. <br />Others which are useful are Netmonitor, RF signal tracker, Ping Tools <br />These are useful for Android. iOS lacks these kind of apps though<br />Alkeshhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00251929867305282026noreply@blogger.com
