GSM-R network

With the development of GSM-R network in our country, there are kinds of researches of constructions in GSM-R network management in progress. At present, the standardization of interface in GSM-R network management is still in the study in our country. Due to maturity of technology and products of CORBA, it is becoming increasingly important that the interface based on CORBA is applied to GSM-R network management. Thus, the research of test methods about interface will able to provide a better method to assess the CORBA interface design and function implement. At the same time, it ensures that GSM-R network management could achieve the function of monitoring entire network which plays an important part in ensuring the network normal.The paper discusses the content of test methods of interface based on CORBA in the GSM-R network management from the perspective of the theory and practice .First of all, according to the technical requirements of GSM-R interface, the article describes the function requirements of interface and resource model .Secondly, it presents the conformance test method of interface based on CORBA in the network management ,after studying test specification of interface based on CORBA in the network management and software which is used to test the conformance of interface. The research and design of this test method mainly focuses on information model and function management for the interface. Then, the paper describes and defines some main contents, including the demand for consistency, testing procedures, ICS test document, test cases, test the conclusion. In order to verify the accuracy of this test method, the test case is verified by Ultra CORBA Simulator. Finally, the paper presents some issues in the field of interface test method which are still worth being studied in the future. And the paper presents the interface test method based on CORBA in GSM-R network management which is borrowed by some projects.
