The invention relates to a method for testing handover in mobile telephone networks. A test mobile is allowed to pass through relevant traffic routes whilst it is transmitting a radio signal and registering its position. Actual base stations synchronously measure the signal strength which is received from the test mobile. The values obtained are compiled with respect to time and respective registered position of the test mobile in a measurement database. Handover can then be tested by varying selected handover parameters during a time characteristic played back with the aid of the measurement database. The measurement is thus carried out in the uplink which provides a realistic basis for determining a desired handover algorithm. According to the invention, a single measuring case makes possible tests of a large number of algorithms without disturbing the network. |
