  • Methods and systems for testing latency in a wireless communication network
    Patent number: 9769684
    Abstract: Systems and methods are described for determining latency in a communication network. A non-IP protocol physical interface may be implemented at an access node. The physical interface may be configured to receive a simulated wireless device that mimics a radio-frequency interface. Delay data associated with segmented portions of a backhaul of the communication network may be measured at a base band unit (BBU) of the access node using the simulated wireless device. At least one segment of the backhaul may be isolated based on the measured delay data associated with the segmented portions.
