  • Patent number: 9634778
    Abstract: A measuring device for measuring a reaction of a device under test to an uplink channel quality parameter, indicating a quality of a transmission channel from the device under test to the measuring device, comprises signal generation means, set up for generating a first signal including the uplink channel quality parameter. The uplink channel quality parameter is set by the signal generation means independent from an actual channel quality of the transmission channel. Transmission means is set up for transmitting a second signal, which is derived from the first signal or is identical to the first signal to the device under test. Receiving means is set up for receiving a third signal transmitted by the device under test and created by the device under test based upon the uplink channel quality parameter and for determining the reaction of the device under test to the uplink channel quality parameter.

  • Patent number: 9049607
    Abstract: A method automatically initializes a mobile station during a test between a mobile station and test equipment emulating a single cell of a cellular mobile communication system, wherein the mobile station is initially registered to the cell having a first location area code. First, radio transmission into the cell is terminated by the test equipment. Then, radio transmission is restarted into the cell, but now having a second location area code, wherein the second location area code is different than the first location area code, forcing the mobile station to perform a registration procedure to the cell.

  • Patent number: 8631141
    Abstract: The device records the data of several steps of a protocol hierarchy within a communications system. For this purpose, the data are received by a receiver and buffered by a buffer. The data consist of payload data and control information. The control information is assigned to the individual protocol-hierarchy planes. In this context, the control information of all protocol-hierarchy planes is received and buffered. Furthermore, a maximum of one copy of the payload data is buffered.

  • Patent number: 8260202
    Abstract: In a case where an access point lies outside the direct radio transmission range of a first radio station of a radio communications system, and a routing runs between the first radio station and the access point that includes at least one additional radio station is known to the first radio station and the access point, information can be transmitted from the first radio station to the access point and from the latter to the first radio station via the routing. When the access point receives information relating to an interruption in the known routing from a radio station in the routing, the first radio station downstream of the access point is informed of the interruption in the known routing and subsequently initiates a process for determining a new routing between the first radio station and the access point.

  • Patent number: 8085797
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method and system for addressing and routing in coded communications relationships in at least two different network levels of a network with different routing levels, which are separated from one another. A first network level with the associated first routing level is demarcated from a second network level with a second routing level via at least one coding device. A network topology of both network levels is determined independently of one another in the at least two routing levels and stored respectively in routing tables. An interface in the at least one coding device is provided with an unambiguous allocation of addresses of the second routing level to addresses of the first routing level, in order to derive the topology of the second network level efficiently from the first network level.

  • Publication number: 20080279198
    Abstract: A method transmits information in a communication system with a number of nodes. At least one node receives a message including the details of a path, running from a source node, though the at least one node, to a target node. The at least one intermediate node, using the details of the at least one path, stores identification information concerning the nodes, adjacent to the at least one node, along the at least one path and transmits the message further along the at least one path. A node in the communication system is also described.

  • Publication number: 20070021064
    Abstract: In a radio communication system formed of a central radio station and subscriber radio stations each having a radio transmission range, the subscriber radio stations are at least partially mobile and each radio station is disposed within the radio transmission range of at least one adjacent subscriber radio station. User data is sent from radio station to radio station within the range of a subscriber radio station in order to transfer user data. User data can be transferred directly or can be transferred via one or several other radio stations from any particular first subscriber radio station to any particular second subscriber radio station in the radio communication system. The central radio station transmits information via the adjacent subscriber radio stations of each subscriber radio station within at least one part of the radio communication system to the plurality of subscriber-sided radio stations within the at least one part of the radio communication system.

  • Publication number: 20060009149
    Abstract: In a radio communication system which incorporates numerous radio stations, messages are transmitted along a path from a first radio station to a second radio station via one or more radio stations which forward the messages. At least one radio station on the path sends a first signaling message to the radio station which is neighboring to it along the path towards the first radio station. This signaling message contains data about the maximum transmission resource access rate to be used for sending messages to the one or more radio station.
