Method for monitoring the transmission quality in a cellular radio communication system
First Claim
1. A method for monitoring transmission quality in a cellular radio communication system which supports different codec modes for radio transmission in each cell between a base station of the cell and a terminal device operating in the cell, the codec modes being combined into at least two codec mode sets, and the base station and the terminal device of a connection exchanging items of information concerning use of the codec modes, comprising:
- determining an extent of use of individual codec modes;
collecting items of information into statistics respectively relating to a geographical partial region of the cellular radio communication system; and
determining composition of a codec mode set based on the statistics.

Abstract
In a cellular radio communication system that supports in each of its cells a plurality of different codec modes for the purpose of radio transmission, the terminals working in a cell and a base station of the cell refer to the information relating to the use of codec modes as CM information. The extent of use of the individual codec modes is registered by filtering the pieces of CM information from the data traffic of the cell and collecting them in a memory in cell-related statistics.

17. A cellular radio communication system for communication with terminal devices, comprising:
a plurality of base stations, each supporting different codec modes for radio transmission with the terminal devices operating in respective cells by exchanging control instructions to determine the codec mode to be used for a transmission at least one of from the terminal device to the base station and from the base station, the codec modes being combined into at least two codec mode sets, and each base station including a memory to receive records regarding use of each codec mode in a cell of the base station, and a processor to determine composition of a codec mode set for communication with each terminal device based on the records stored in the memory. - View Dependent Claims (18)
