US 7,069,004 B2 · System for monitoring the performance of mobile telephony networks

Abstract

In a system for checking performance quality of mobile telephony networks, specific electronic devices (15, 15′) are connected to digital data transmission lines (13, 13′, 14, 14′) between base stations controllers (11, 11′) and base transmitting stations (12, 12′) dedicated to peripheral areas, or cells, such devices being apt to acquisition of data transmitted onto said lines and to process said data for identification of specific network operating parameters and for correlation of said parameter between them. The above electronic devices are also connected to central processing units (30) where the above processed data are periodically transmitted to for later searching and processing according to design and network maintenance requirements, or any other requirement of users connected by means of remote terminals (31) to said central units.

Dependent claims

A system for monitoring the radioelectrical performance of a mobile telephony network;

comprising:
a base transmitting station;
a base station controller;
digital data transmission lines connecting the base station controller to said base transmitting station;
and
an electronic device constructed and arranged to read data being transmitted by said digital data transmission lines in both directions between said base station controller and said base transmitting station and to process said data to calculate and correlate specific operating parameters of said telephony network, said process including:
