Professional SummaryProfessional Summary

Working in Aricent Technologies Holdings Ltd. for more than 4 years in telecom domain.

Currently working on LTE Testing and looking at following aspects:- Feasibility study of LTE architecture, LTE UE & BS (eNodeB)

Conformance Testing Study of 3GPP specs 36.104/145 and preparing documents,

testing strategy, set-up for 3GPP requirement & vendor requirement for eNodeB BS RF conformance Testing

Planning the LTE UE testing strategy (Protocol, RF Conformance) based on 3GPP 36.523 cases.

Interacting with equipment vendors for LTE testing support of UE, eNodeB, & EPC nodes and also discussing the equipment price quote, SW/HW upgrade, & AMC as well.

Studying LTE RRC spec 36.331 for RRC services and Inter-RAT handover testing

Worked in protocols as CC, MM, SM, GMM, RLC, MAC, RRC etc. Worked in 2G/2.5G NSN BTS (Supporting GSM, GPRS, EDGE) testing

since Oct 2006. I have worked in various testing areas as PIT (Product integration) , FT (Functional Testing ), ST (System Testing) and RT (Release Testing)

Worked on BTS Performance Testing as described below:- BS RF Performance of NSN 2G BTSs (Flexi EDGE and

MultiRadio) KPI performance of NSN 2G BTSs. GPRS EDGE Performance for Flexi EDGE/Multiradio BTS. Travelled to UK for 3 months to learn BTS Receiver RF

Performance Testing (based on 3GPP spec 51.021). Worked in many communication areas which include Signalling,

Transmission, Call relates aspects, O&M, Synchronization and NetAct. Worked on many testing tools, equipments & softwares.

My role in the projects can be summarized as

Leading a team of 5 persons for RF & KPI performance of NSN BTS.

Feature test requirements collection, analysis and reviews. Defining test strategies, test plans, test case design. Responsible for test setups and creating customer

configurations. Review of the test plans and rising defects as feedback. Identification of various tools needed for system integration and

verification testing. Executing test case and providing test status reports. Co-ordination with developers to rectify the problems and

provide support to them. Intercation with customers (NSN) for better understanding of

requirements & documents/reports approval.
