Abstract:
1. An arrangement for detecting a radio coverage in a multicellular mobile radio system, comprising: an evaluation unit; and a plurality of base stations communicatively connected to the evaluation unit, the plurality of base stations operating in a normal operating mode, wherein the plurality of base stations are consecutively switched, one at a time, from the normal operating mode to a measuring operating mode, wherein the one switched base station in the measuring operating mode receives signals from each of the base stations locally adjacent to it and measures (a) a field strength of each of the base stations locally adjacent to it, with the locally adjacent base stations in the normal operating mode, and (b) a quality of synchronicity between the one switched base station and each of the locally adjacent base stations, with the locally adjacent base stations in the normal operating mode, and wherein the evaluation unit receives the measured field strength and measure of synchronicity quality for evaluation.
