Switching Matrix and Test Platform
First Claim
1. A method comprising:
- selecting, via a switching matrix, a plurality of radio frequency (RF) signals as selected RF signals from a group of RF signals made available for communication with a telecommunications device;
recording a test scenario via a switching matrix application that enables real time or near real time control of signal strengths of the selected RF signals by control of the switching matrix;
loading the test scenario for the selected RF signals by controlling the switching matrix, the test scenario to adjust the signal strengths of the selected RF signals over a period of time to enable simulation of an operation of the telecommunications device in a deployed field environment; and
running the test scenario to control the switching matrix, the test scenario to test at least one of an operation of the telecommunications network elements or the telecommunications devices with the selected RF signals.

Abstract
A switching matrix and testing platform may enable controlled testing of various configurations of radio access networks (RANs) at various signal strengths. The switching matrix and testing platform may enable testing of the radio frequency (RF) signals from RANs or telecommunications devices for new and/or predetermined scenarios, such as using different configurations of the RANs at various signal strengths. During a scenario, various operations may be performed on the telecommunications device in communication with the tested RF signals, such as making voice calls, transmitting and receiving data (messages, videos, music, etc.). A performance of the telecommunications device and/or various telecommunication network elements may be analyzed in comparison to other telecommunications device and/or various telecommunication network elements.
