Method and apparatus for automatic call tests in wireless networks
First Claim
1. A method for automatically measuring network parameters relating to wireless network environments with a server and at least one test terminal, comprising the steps of:
- connecting to the server when the test terminal is turned on;
sending power-on registration data representing a current test state of the test terminal, wherein the power-on registration data contains information indicating a start, interruption or end of the test in the at least one test terminal; and
if no test plan exists in the test terminal, automatically loading a test plan from the server;
if the test plan is loaded in the test terminal, measuring the network parameters according to the test plan;
collecting and parsing the measured network parameters to obtain sets of measured network parameters; and
transmitting the sets of measured network parameters to the server when there is a data transmission request from the server or a predetermined set time according to the test plan.

Abstract
A methodology to automatically measure network parameters relating to wireless network environments is disclosed. First, if a server'"'"'s telephone number is detected from power-on registration data stored in a storage device, then a connection with the server is attempted through a mobile station with a data service function using the server'"'"'s telephone number. Thereafter, if there is test plan from the server after the connection is made, the network parameters is measured using another mobile station with a diagnostic monitor function based on the test plan data. The measured network parameters is then collected and parsed to obtain sets of measured network parameters, each set having a different kind of measured data; and the sets of measured network parameters are transmitted to the server using the mobile station with the data service function when there is a data transmission request from the server or it is time for data transmission.
