International ClassG06F 011/00AbstractTesting of the operation of a radio in a base station of a wireless communication network may be achieved without removing the radio from service and without utilizing a separate test radio. Data concerning call processing activities are collected during wireless communications. A failure condition on an overhead or traffic channel of a radio is identified by suitably accessing the collected data, processing the data and then comparing the results to expected values. | |
