Mobile communication test apparatus and test method

A mobile communication test method that uses a mobile communication test apparatus including a plurality of communication processing sections, each of which is provided to correspond to each of the plurality of frequency blocks in order to communicate with a mobile communication apparatus by bundling a plurality of frequency blocks, and a data exchange section, which performs a relay process of data exchanged between the communication processing sections, and that simulates an operation of a counter device which communicates as a counterparty with the mobile communication apparatus, the mobile communication test method comprising steps of:

• distributing logical channel data, to be transmitted to the mobile communication apparatus, to each communication processing section in accordance with preset distribution information;
• sending the logical channel data, which is not addressed to the corresponding communication processing section, in the logical channel data, which is distributed to the communication processing section, to the communication processing section to function as a transmission source of the corresponding data, through the data exchange section;
• and
• converting the logical channel data, which is received through the data exchange section, and the logical channel data, which is distributed to be addressed to the corresponding communication processing section, in the logical channel data, which is distributed to the communication processing sections, into transport channel data.

• performing a division process such that a MAC header of transport channel data, into which a signal of a predetermined number of the frequency block transmitted from the mobile communication apparatus is converted, is analyzed to be logical channel data;
• distributing the corresponding logical channel data to the communication processing section to process the logical channel data in accordance with preset distribution information;
• sending the logical channel data, which is not addressed to the corresponding communication processing section, in the logical channel data, which is distributed to the communication processing section, to the communication processing section to function as a transmission destination of the corresponding data, through the data exchange section;
• and
• processing the logical channel data, which is received through the data exchange section, and the logical channel data, which is distributed to be addressed to the corresponding communication processing section, in the logical channel data, which is distributed to the communication processing sections, on a logical channel basis.
