Abstract:
1. A method for testing a wireless device in a network environment including multiple wireless devices comprising: receiving as input an indication of devices to be connected to a simulator for test, where the simulator connects a first device to a second device via a link that includes multiple paths, and each path includes at least one function element for modifying a signal on the path with which the function element is associated; receiving as input an indication of at least one channel model to be applied to an identified link; calculating allocation of simulator paths based on the received indication of devices to be connected to the simulator; calculating a setting for each function element while a test is running, the setting being calculated based on the at least one channel model; configuring the simulator paths according to the calculated allocation; configuring each function element with the setting calculated for that function element; and modifying a signal transmitted from a first wireless device to a second wireless device with ones of the function elements.
