A method for testing handover in mobile telephone networks. A test mobile passes through relevant traffic routes while 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-based play 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. A single measurement process makes it possible to test a large number of algorithms without disturbing the network. |
