Abstract
In a Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA) Mobile Communication System, a method for testing the functionality of a call control processing program executed on a call control processor in a base station controller comprises simulating a mobile switching center that exchanges communications with the base station controller. The functionality of the call control processing program is tested by using the simulated mobile switching center.
Claims10
A method for testing the functionality of a call control processing program executed on a call control processor in a base station controller, comprising the steps of:
- simulating a mobile switching center that exchanges communications with the base station controller, said simulating being performed using a second processor in the base station controller, the second processor being a processor other than the call control processor, and
- testing the functionality of the call control processing program by using the simulated mobile switching center, said testing comprising performing call control processing by the base station controller.
An apparatus for testing the functionality of a call control processing program executed on a call control processor on a base station controller, comprising:
- a mobile switching center simulator for simulating a mobile switching center, the mobile switching center simulator comprising a second processor in the base station controller, the second processor being a processor other than the call control processor, wherein testing the functionality of the call control processing program uses the simulated mobile switching center and comprises performing call control processing by the station controller, wherein the simulator sends an acknowledge (ACK) message to the call control processor in response to the call control processor sending an ALIVE message to the simulator, when the call control processor is activated before the simulator, and the call control processor sends an ACK message to the simulator in response to the simulator sending an ALIVE message to the call control processor, when the simulator is activated before the call control processor.
