Abstract: It is known to introduce into a cellular mobile radio network (CN) a test transmitter (TS) which transmits a test signal for reception by mobile stations located in the coverage area of the mobile radio network. A simple, computer-aided method for testing the mobile radio network is disclosed in which the test transmitter (TS) transmits the test signal on a carrier already assigned to a base station (BTS) of the mobile radio network (CN) for transmitting broadcast signals. Thus, each mobile station can receive the test signal in a simple manner. The receive level is transmitted to the base station serving the area in which the mobile station is located, and then passed on to a computer for analysis.
