Abstract:
1. A mobile terminal tester comprising: a first base transceiver station simulator and a second base transceiver station simulator for respectively simulating base transceiver stations by exchanging signals with a mobile terminal to be tested; a test process information storage for preliminarily storing therein test process information indicative of each process of a test of said mobile terminal in units of a test subject, said test of said mobile terminal being said test for simulating a situation that the mobile terminal sequentially moves through a communication area of a first base transceiver station, a communication area of a second base transceiver station, and a communication area of a third base transceiver station; a base transceiver station information storage for preliminarily storing therein a first type of base transceiver station information for simulating said first base transceiver station, a second type of base transceiver station information for simulating said second base transceiver station, and a third type of base transceiver station information for simulating said third base transceiver station; a base transceiver station information setting section for setting either one of said first type of base transceiver station information, said second type of base transceiver station information and said third type of base transceiver station information, respectively to said first base transceiver station simulator and said second base transceiver station simulator; a transmission status setting section for setting transmission status of said first base transceiver station simulator and said second base transceiver station simulator; a test process executing section for executing each process of a test of said mobile terminal by controlling said base transceiver station information setting section and said transmission status setting section; and a determining section operative to determine test results of said mobile terminal, in which said test process executing section is operative to execute said processes which includes: controlling said base transceiver station information setting section to set said first type of said base transceiver station information to said first base transceiver station simulator; controlling said base transceiver station information setting section to set said second type of said base transceiver station information to said second base transceiver station simulator; controlling said transmission status setting section to set said transmission status of said first base transceiver station simulator to ensure that said mobile is capable of communicating with said first base transceiver station simulator; controlling said transmission status setting section to set said transmission status of at least one of said first and second base transceiver station simulators to ensure that said mobile terminal is capable of communicating with said second base transceiver station simulator, after said mobile terminal and said first base transceiver station simulator are connected with each other; controlling said base transceiver station information setting section to set said third type of said base transceiver station information to said first base transceiver station simulator, after said determining section determines that said mobile terminal and said first base transceiver station simulator are disconnected and said mobile terminal and said second base transceiver station simulator are connected; and controlling said transmission status setting section to set said transmission status of at least one of said first and second base transceiver station simulators to ensure that said mobile terminal is capable of communicating with said first base transceiver station simulator.
