Abstract
A system and method for test loop timer operation. A mobile station implementing a test procedure may receive a command to enter a test mode. A timer may be enabled and RLC data blocks may be transmitted. The timer may be disabled when a quantity of the RLC data blocks exceeds a transmit window size or when a countdown value is equal to zero. The the test mode may be a switched radio block loopback mode and the timer may be a T3182 timer. Embodiments of the invention may be implemented in a mobile communication system.
Claims29
A method for implementing a test for testing a mobile station, the method comprising:
- receiving a command to enter a test mode;
- enabling a timer;
- transmitting data blocks;
- and
- disabling the timer when a quantity of the data blocks exceeds a transmit window size or when a countdown value is equal to zero.
A system for testing a mobile station, the method comprising:
- a communications network for issuing commands;
- a mobile station for receiving and transmitting information;
- and
- a timer resident in the mobile station,
- wherein the mobile station is configured to disable the timer when
- the communications network has issued a command to put the mobile station in a test mode and when
- a quantity of the data blocks exceeds a transmit window size or a countdown value is equal to zero.
A computer program product comprising a computer useable medium having computer program logic recorded thereon for enabling a processor to implement a test procedure in a mobile station, the computer program logic comprising:
- a receiving procedure that enables the processor to receive a command to enter a test mode;
- an enabling procedure that enables the processor to enable a timer;
- a transmitting procedure that enables the processor to transmit data blocks;
- and
- a disabling procedure that enables the processor to disable the timer when a quantity of the data blocks exceeds a transmit window size or when a countdown value is equal to zero.
A device implementing a test procedure, the device comprising:
- a mobile system for receiving and transmitting information;
- and
- a timer resident in the mobile station,
- wherein the mobile system is configured to disable the timer when
- the mobile system has received a command to put the mobile station in a test mode and when
- a quantity of data blocks transmitted by the mobile station exceeds a transmit window size or a countdown value is equal to zero.
