Description
The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) intends to negotiate with QUALCOMM TECHNOLOGIES INC. on a sole source basis for the procurement of Qualcomm Extensible Diagnostic Monitor (QXDM) 5G Software Subscription License. The software is required for NIST's ongoing research into 4G and 5G communication technologies. The procurement includes the purchase of up to three QXDM licenses, which will enable access to all already installed and in-use QXDM, PCAT, and QCAT applications. The licenses will be activated via Qualcomm's website, and the software license renewal guide will be delivered by email.
• The software must support analysis of both LTE and NR for FDD and TDD protocol technologies.
• The software must support the monitoring and analysis of Wi-Fi (IEEE 802.11) protocol technology.
• The software must provide monitoring and reporting of various parameters, including signal to noise plus interference ratio (SINR), reference signal received power (RSRP), reference signal received quality (RSRQ), modulation, and precision matrix indicators (PMI).
• The software must provide total transmit power (TX), power headroom, transmit power control (TPC), and path loss.
