Method and apparatus for testing dynamic beam adaptive radio resource management (RRM) and demodulation requirements in over the air (OTA) test setup

A method for performing over the air (OTA) testing of a user equipment (UE) in a testing chamber, the testing chamber including at least one probe antenna, the method comprising:

• generating a first emulated downlink (DL) signal of a first virtual transmission/reception point (TRP) in accordance with a first signal alternation profile, the first signal alternation profile including one or more first alternation characteristics that vary over time in accordance with simulated movement of the UE relative to a first virtual location, the first virtual location being a location of the first virtual TRP;
• generating a second emulated DL signal of a second virtual TRP in accordance with a second signal alternation profile, the second signal alternation profile including one or more second alternation characteristics that vary over time in accordance with simulated movement of the UE relative to a second virtual location, the second virtual location being a location of the second virtual TRP;
• providing the first and second emulated DL signals to the at least one probe antenna;
• and
• transmitting, by the at least one probe, signals for testing the UE based on the first and second emulated DL signals,
• wherein the one or more first alternation characteristics that vary over time and the one or more second alternation characteristics that vary over time include at least one of signal delay, signal frequency offset, or signal phase.
