Abstract
Recently, together with the development of wireless communication technologies and the wide use of smart phones, the demand of the next generation mobile communication has been increased. To construct the next generation mobile communication platform efficiently for a short period from protocol development phase to protocol stability phase, an protocol analyzer is required to verify and analyze the protocol. In this paper, we propose the protocol analyzer of LTE network which is the leader of the next generation mobile communication platforms. The protocol analyzer is a software based agent-server architecture and uses XML metadata which defines intercommunication messages to analyze the protocol of the next generation mobile communications. We can analysis the encoding messages applied to LTE network using the loading of the decoding library. We verify the superiority of the proposed analyzer through an integrated test with LTE network.
