Cell test in a cellular telecommunication network
First Claim
1. A method of testing a cell in a cellular telecommunication network comprising fixed communication means serving a plurality of base transceiver stations respectively associated with cells of said network, a test mobile station being placed in said cellular telecommunication network, and a terminal means being connected to said fixed communication means,said method comprising the following steps:
- setting up a first call requested by said terminal means between said terminal means and said test mobile station,transmitting first parameters from said terminal means to said test mobile station if said first call is set up,clearing down said first call by said test mobile station if said first parameters are received in said test mobile station,setting up a second call requested by said test mobile station between said test mobile station and said terminal means via said cell after said first call is cleared down,emitting second parameters from said test mobile station to said terminal means if said second call is set up, andclearing down said second call if said second parameters are received in said terminal means.

Abstract
To test a cell in a cellular telecommunication network, a test mobile station is placed in the network near the cell and a server is connected to fixed communication devices of the network via a switched telephone network. The cell is confirmed to be operating correctly if a first call requested by the server to the test mobile station is set up and then cleared down by the test mobile station after first parameters transmitted by the server are received in the test mobile station, and thereafter if a second call requested by the test mobile station to the server via the cell under test is set up and then cleared down by the test mobile station after second parameters emitted by the test mobile station are received in the server. If this is not the case, the server reports incidents during the first or second call.
