System and method for radio frequency uplink performance assessment utilizing downlink erasure frame analysis

A non-transitory processor readable medium containing a set of instructions thereon that when executed by the processor cause the processor to:

• receive, at a computing device, from each of a plurality of receiver wireless communications devices, an indication of if a received frame has been determined to be an erasure frame, the frame having been sent by a Radio Access Network (RAN) to the plurality of receiver wireless communications devices and identified by a frame identifier, the frame having been sent to the RAN from a sender wireless communications device;
• aggregate the indications of if the received frame has been determined to be an erasure frame for the frame identified by the frame identifier;
• declare the frame identified by the frame identifier to be an erasure frame when at least one of the plurality of wireless communications devices has indicated the received frame identified by the frame identifier has been determined to be an erasure frame;
• and
• determine that an error occurred on an uplink between the sender wireless communication device and the RAN when the frame identified by the frame identifier was sent to the RAN by the sender wireless communications device when the frame is declared an erasure frame.
