SUT4: Single BS and Two MS (from Different Vendors)

In this test configuration, a single BS is connected to two MSs and those MSs are from different vendors. Ideally, all three units should be from dif- ferent vendors. However, one of the MS vendors may also be the BS vendor, depending upon the equipment availability.

   SUT5: Single BS and Three MS (Three Different Vendors)
   

In this configuration, a single BS is connected to three MSs. Each of the MSs may be from different vendors, or two MSs may be from the same vendor, or one of the MS could be from the same BS vendor, depending upon the equipment availability.
The certification profiles tested in the 5th Plugfest are:

• 
  2.3–2.4 GHz, 5/8.75/10 MHz, TDD
  
• 
  2.496–2.69 GHz, 5/10 MHz, TDD
  
• 
  3.4–3.6 GHz, 5/7 MHz, TDD
  
• 
  4.935–4.990 GHz, 5 MHz, TDD
