US 8,620,222 B2 · Method for testing transmission modes of a wireless communication device

Abstract

A method for testing transmission modes of a wireless communication device. According to the method, a switching range is determined in a parameter space in a test device. The parameter of the parameter space describes the quality of transmission and influences a recommendation for a transmission mode to be adjusted in a device to be tested. The switching range is a subspace of the parameter space and contains at least one switching limit for the recommendation for the subsequent transmission mode to be adjusted. In a further step, random parameter points from the switching range are generated depending on a probability distribution which is defined for the switching range. A signal is generated for every parameter point and has a transmission mode determined by the parameter point and is transmitted to the device to be tested. The device to be tested then transmits one response signal per received signal to the test device, the response signal containing a recommendation for a subsequent transmission mode to be adjusted. All recommendations from all received response signals are evaluated in the test device.

A method for testing a device for wireless communication in a radio network, consisting of the steps of:

establishing a switching range in a parameter space which contains at least one parameter which describes a quality of a transmission and influences a recommendation of a transmission state which is to be adjusted, wherein the switching range contains at least one switching limit for the recommendation of the transmission state to be adjusted;
establishing a number of random parameter points in the switching range in a test device by implementing a probability distribution which is defined on the switching range;
transmitting a respective signal per randomly established parameter point with a simulated transmission quality, which is established by the parameter point, to a device to be tested;
transmitting back to the test device a respective response signal by the device, which is to be tested, per received signal which contains a recommendation for a subsequent transmission state;
and
evaluating returned recommendations of transmission states, which are to be adjusted, from response signals received by the test device.
