<p>Methods and systems for testing macrodiversity and handover functionality of a radio network controller (RNC) are disclosed. An RNC test system (200) is capable of simulating both node B and user equipment functionality. The RNC test system (200) is also capable of simulating multiple node B instances. The RNC test system (200) allows the user to set signal quality parameters in messages sent to the RNC (104) to simulate weak or erroneous signals received from user equipment. In response, the RNC (104) communicates with the RNC test system (200) to add radio links or switch between previously established radio links. The RNC test system (200) also simulates dynamic radio link addition and deletion in response to messages received from the RNC (104).</p> |
