First Claim
1. System for simulating the behaviour of a network for mobile radio apparatuses, comprising a Work Station (10), having data input means (15, 19) capable of inserting data representative of a network scenario (35) data output means (12, 19) capable of making available data representative of results (37) of the simulation of said network;
- and a simulation environment (30) associated to said computer (10) and capable of simulating the behaviour of said network on the basis of said network scenario (35) and of generating in output said results (37);
characterised in that said simulation environment (30) comprises first objects (34) representative of devices and/or physical elements (41, 51) belonging to said network to be simulated;
second objects (31) representative of processing modules (31a, 31b, 31c, 31d) separate from said first objects (34) and capable of conditioning and activating said first objects (34) on the basis of said network scenario (35) to simulate said network.

Abstract
The present invention is related to a system for simulating the behaviour of a telecommunications network for mobile radio apparatuses and to the relating method. The system comprises an integrated simulation environment (30) having a modular structure based on interchangeable objects, that comprise a simulation engine (31) and a plurality of devices (34) representative of apparatuses as well as physical elements of the network. By virtue of its structure based on objects which are interchangeable and capable of being selectively activated, the system allows the simulation of networks for high complexity mobile radio apparatuses in terms of quantity of apparatuses and type of systems or networks. The system is easily expansible as a function of both the variation of the system or network types and the technological implementations available on the market.
