METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR NETWORK ERROR DETECTION
First Claim
1. Method for identifying a source of error in a communication network comprising at least one client configured to be connected to a base station, wherein said at least one client is arranged on a vehicle repetitively moving in a predetermined area comprising at least one base station, and wherein said vehicle is provided with at least one fixed external antenna through which the client and the base station communicates, said method comprising the steps of:
- collecting signal quality data from said at least one client for an extended time period when moving in said area, said signal quality data being indicative of the signal quality between said at least one client and said at least one base station, said signal quality data comprising a plurality of data entries;
determining a position in said area at which each of said data entries was collected and a time at which each of said data entries was collected;
identifying an anomaly in said signal quality data, by comparing newly collected signal quality data with previously collected signal quality data; and
determining, for at least one identified anomaly, from the time and position when said signal quality data having an anomaly was collected, a source of error in said communication network.

Abstract
A method for identifying a source of error in a communication network including at least one client configured to be connected to a base station is disclosed. The at least one client is arranged on a vehicle repetitively moving in a predetermined area. The method includes the steps of: collecting signal quality data from the at least one client for an extended time period when moving in the area, the signal quality data including a plurality of data entries; determining a position in the area at which each of the data entries was collected and a time at which each of the data entries was collected; identifying an anomaly in the signal quality data, by comparing newly collected signal quality data with previously collected data. A source of error may be determined from the time and position when the signal quality data having an anomaly was collected.
