  • Method for bit error rate measurements in a cell-based telecommunication system
    Patent number: 6693881
    Abstract: A method for bit error rate measurements in a cell-based telecommunication system is presented, comprising the following steps of generating a first bit pattern at a first location of said telecommunication system, transmitting said first bit pattern from said first location to a second location of said telecommunication system, thereby obtaining a transmitted bit pattern, generating a second bit pattern at said second location, said second bit pattern being identical with the first bit pattern and comparing said transmitted bit pattern with said second bit pattern. The first bit pattern is transmitted in at least one unused cell (U, I), said unused cell (U, I) being generated during normal operation of said telecommunication system in the case of a lack of used cells to be transmitted.
