This application relates to a device and method for testing a UE in a communications network, specifically the testing of proximity communications of a UE in an LTE network. ProSe functionality requires the use of UEs in D2D communication or relaying. A communications system is described in which a test device in a communication system monitors the operation of a wireless communication device i.e. UE-R. The test device identifies each communication bearer associated with the communication device (default, dedicated, relaying etc); determines a subset comprising at least one communication bearer to be used when performing the test and not comprising at least one other communication bearer; and initiates the test in which each communication bearer in the subset is used and each communication bearer not in said subset is not used. The bearers may be Evolved Packet System (EPS) bearers in a LTE network. |
