Abstract:
In a cellular telecommunications system, a method for detecting malfunctions of base station transceivers, the method comprising the steps of:a) sorting information relating to a plurality of base station transceivers on a per transceiver basis and generating a service quality value for each one of said plurality of base station transceivers, said service quality value being representative of a performance level of each one of said plurality of transceivers; b) computing a service quality threshold value through a function generating a result proportional to an average performance level of said plurality of transceivers, using said information relating to said plurality of transceivers; and c) for at least one particular transceiver from said plurality of transceivers, comparing said service quality value with said service quality threshold value for determining the acceptability of said performance level of said particular transceiver.
