Abstract: A method for coordinating testing of a wireless device under test (DUT) using non-link testing resources. Coordination between the tester and DUT is achieved by transmitting, from the tester to the DUT, predetermined numbers of data packets associated with predetermined tester identification data (e.g., MAC addresses identifying the tester transmitter). During test phases involving measurement and/or calibration of DUT transmit signals, the tester sends a number of data packets associated with one or more versions of tester identification data, in response to which the DUT performs internal operations (e.g., revising transmit power offsets). During later test phases involving validation of DUT performance, the tester sends another number of data packets associated with one or more versions of the tester identification data to inform the DUT that its testing has passed or failed, and/or is to be repeated.

Abstract: A method for communicating test results from a wireless device under test (DUT) using non-link testing resources. Test data resulting from testing one or more operations of the DUT are combined with other data to form one or more data packets for transmission to a tester. The test data occupies, e.g., via encoding, a portion of the one or more data packets designated for data identifying the DUT or a tester.
