APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR MEASURING AMOUNT OF USER TRAFFIC IN WIRELESS COMMUNICATION SYSTEM

摘要

An apparatus and a method for measuring user traffic capacity in a mobile communication system are provided to analyze the amount of traffic which a mobile terminal has used after connecting to the second base station, in case the terminal completed handover to the second base station from the first base station. A frame receiving unit(161) receives a downlink frame broadcast from the second base station. Downlink/uplink mobile terminal identifier information extracting units(162,163) extract certain mobile terminal identifier information based on a downlink map information element and an uplink map information element included in the received downlink frame. A handover ID checking unit(167) checks whether a ranging response message broadcast from the second base station includes a handover ID indicating that the mobile terminal has performed handover. An information storage unit(164) stores the extracted mobile terminal identifier information and handover ID. A traffic calculating unit(165) calculates traffic capacity of the mobile terminal which has performed handover to the second base station.
