  • Patent number: 9860774
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a for testing user equipment. The test apparatus comprises an emulation module which is configured to emulate the functionality of a first user equipment and to establish a D2D link between the first user equipment and an externally arranged second user equipment which forms a user equipment under test. The test apparatus also comprises a test module which is configured to test at least one second user equipment after being connected to the emulated first user equipment of the emulation module via the established D2D communication link. The present invention further relates to a radio communication test apparatus, a method for testing user equipment and a computer program product.

  • Patent number: 9246643
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method and to a test device (12) which is used to determine an error rate during the transfer of data (1) in a mobile radio system. Said mobile radio system comprises at least one transfer channel, wherein several data partial flows (2.1, 2.2, 2.6) are transferred. The several data partial flows (2.1, 2.2 . . . 2.6) are produced in a signal generator unit (8). A transport format is determined, in an individual manner, for each data partial flow (2.1, 2.2 . . . 2.6). The data partial flows (2.1, 2.2 . . . 2.6) are sent, respectively, to a number of transfer blocks which belong together (5.1, . . . 7.1). A device which is to be tested captures the transfer blocks (5.1, . . . 7.1) of the data partial flows (2.1, 2.2 . . . 2.6) and evaluates them. According to the accuracy of the evaluation, a positive or negative actuation signal (ACK, NACK) is sent back by the device which is to be tested. An error rate of each data partial flow (2.1, 2.2 . . . 2.

  • Publication number: 20060250972
    Abstract: A method and device for detecting an error rate of a receiver of data transmitted to a device that is to be checked is provided. A test device generates a data block having a first length and a test signal generated based on the data block is sent. The device to be checked receives and evaluates the test signal. Another data block having a different length is generated based on the evaluated test signal to obtain another data rate. The other data block is sent as a response signal in a different transmission direction, and is received and evaluated by the transmitter/receiver device of the test device. An evaluation unit compares the contents of both data blocks to detect the error rate, wherein the content of the shorter data block is compared with the content of a corresponding segment of the longer data block to determine the error rate.
