Portable Diagnostic Device for Trouble-Shooting a Wireless Network and a Method for Trouble-Shooting a Wireless Network
First Claim
1. A portable diagnostic device (PDD) for diagnosing packet-based wireless networks, the PDD comprising:
- an input device configured to convert user input into electrical signals;
a radio frequency (RF) transceiver;
an antenna;
processing logic configured to execute a diagnostic software module that generates diagnostic commands for diagnosing a packet-based network and that interprets diagnostic information sent from the packet-based network to the PDD;
a modem configured to wirelessly communicate via the RF transceiver and the antenna with a base transceiver station (BTS) that is in communication with the packet-based network; and
a display device configured to display diagnostic information received by the RF transceiver and processed by the processing logic, the diagnostic information displayed on the display device describing one or more attributes of the packet-based network.

Abstract
A portable diagnostic device (PDD) for diagnosing packet-based wireless networks. the PDD comprises an input device configured to convert user input into electrical signals, a radio frequency (RF) transceiver, an antenna, processing logic, a modem, and a display device. The processing logic is configured to execute a diagnostic software module that generates diagnostic commands for diagnosing a packet-based network and that interprets diagnostic information sent from the packet-based network to the PDD. The modem enables the PDD to wirelessly communicate via the RF transceiver and the antenna with a base transceiver station (BTS) that is in communication with the packet-based network. The display device displays diagnostic information received by the RF transceiver and processed by the processing logic. The diagnostic information displayed on the display device describes one or more attributes of the packet-based network.

10. A method for diagnosing a packet-based network using a wireless portable diagnostic device (PDD), the method comprising:
-
processing user input corresponding to one or more commands to be performed by one or more components of a packet-based network; wirelessly communicating said one or more commands from the PDD to the packet-based network; receiving one or more responses to said one or more commands in the PDD; processing said one or more responses received in the PDD into displayable information; and displaying the displayable information on a display device of the PDD. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18)
