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.

Patent number: 7516373Abstract: A method for testing the (Bit) Error Ratio BER of a device against a maximal allowable (Bit) Error Ratio BERlimit with an early pass and/or early fail criterion, whereby the early pass and/or early fail criterion is allowed to be wrong only by a small probability F for the entire test. Ns bits of the output of the device are measured, thereby ne erroneous bits of these ns bits are detected. PDhigh and/or PDlow are obtained, whereby PDhigh is the worst possible likelihood distribution and PDlow is the best possible likelihood distribution containing the measured ne erroneous bits with a single step wrong decision probability D, which is smaller than the probability F for the entire test. The average numbers of erroneous bits NEhigh and NElow for PDhigh and PDlow are obtained. NEhigh and NElow are compared with NElimit=BERlimit ns. If NElimit is higher than NEhigh or NElimit is lower than NElow the test is stopped. Sequential sampling with two one-tailed parametric hypothesis test for the poisson distribution.Type: GrantFiled: January 31, 2003Date of Patent: April 7, 2009Assignee: Rohde & Schwarz GmbH & Co.
