Abstract: A method and system for mapping radio measurements and quality parameters to location information within a cell of a wireless telecommunications system. Mobile Stations (MSs) report radio measurements such as downlink Bit-Error-Rate (BER) and downlink Signal Strength (SS) to Base Stations (BSs), which further relay the radio measurements, along with radio quality parameters to a switching node that identifies adds a time stamp and a call identification (or MS identification). The switching node then forwards the radio data to a Radio Network Management node (RNM). For the radio measurements, the RNM requests positioning information from a Positioning Device Equipment (PDE), and associates the positioning information to the radio measurements. For the radio quality parameters, the RNM correlate positioning information using the time stamp and the CallID/MSID.

Abstract: A system and method in a radio telecommunications network for correlating speech quality over an air interface link with a plurality of radio quality parameters. The system includes a mobile switching center (MSC) for recording uplink radio quality information from the air interface link, a mobile test tool for recording downlink radio quality information from the air interface link, a parser for parsing the radio quality information into the plurality of radio quality parameters, and a memory for storing the parsed radio quality information. A digital audio tape (DAT) recorder or personal computer (PC) is electronically connected to a mobile station for recording a speech conversation from the air interface link simultaneously with the recording of the radio quality information. A DAT-link interface is utilized to interface the DAT recorder with a playback unit and with a synchronizer/controller which synchronizes the stored radio quality information and the stored speech conversation.
