METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR TESTING WITH SIMULATED MOVING MOBILE STATIONS

摘要

Method and apparatus for realistic testing in a radio communication system, wherein a plurality of antenna elements are distributed to form an antenna group. A local control unit controls a switching unit to selectively connect a first stationary radio station to the antenna elements, one at a time, in a cyclically repeated sequence such that, during a radio communication with a second stationary radio station, a relative movement is emulated between the antennas of the radio stations. The antenna group distribution and the switching sequence are selected such that the emulated antenna movement creates a Rayleigh fading effect in the communicated raio signals due to reflections in a pyhsical radio environment, giving rise to multipath interference.
