METHODS AND SYSTEMS FOR EMULATING TESTING-PLAN CHANNEL CONDITIONS IN WIRELESS NETWORKS
First Claim
1. A method comprising:
- identifying a data-rate threshold and one or more testing-plan channel conditions;
identifying testing-scenario channel conditions corresponding to the testing-plan channel conditions;
selecting an attenuation offset based on a comparison of the one or more identified testing-scenario channel conditions to the one or more identified testing-plan channel conditions;
measuring a data rate with a testing-scenario attenuation level set equal to the selected attenuation offset; and
storing testing-plan-compliance data associated with the measured data rate and the data-rate threshold.

Abstract
Disclosed herein are methods and systems for emulating testing-plan channel conditions in wireless networks. One embodiment takes the form of a process that includes identifying a data-rate threshold and one or more testing-plan channel conditions. The process also includes identifying testing-scenario channel conditions corresponding to the testing-plan channel conditions. The process also includes selecting an attenuation offset based on a comparison of the one or more identified testing-scenario channel conditions to the one or more identified testing-plan channel conditions. The process also includes measuring a data rate with a testing-scenario attenuation level set equal to the selected attenuation offset. The process also includes storing testing-plan-compliance data associated with the measured data rate and the data-rate threshold.

20. A wireless-network testing system comprising:
-
an antenna structure; a modem; a signal-attenuation module coupled inline in a receive path between the antenna structure and the modem; a processor; and data storage containing instructions executable by the processor for causing the wireless-network testing system to carry out a set of functions, the set of functions including; identifying a data-rate threshold and one or more testing-plan channel conditions; identifying testing-scenario channel conditions corresponding to the testing-plan channel conditions; selecting an attenuation offset based on a comparison of the identified testing-scenario channel conditions to the identified testing-plan channel conditions; measuring a data rate with the signal-attenuation module configured to attenuate a received signal by a testing-scenario attenuation level set equal to the selected attenuation offset; and storing testing-plan-compliance data associated with the measured data rate and the data-rate threshold.
