Abstract:
1. A system for testing wireless mobile devices, one of the wireless mobile devices being designated a transmitting device, another wireless mobile device being designated a receiving device, the wireless mobile devices communicating via call requests through a wireless network having at least one basestation and communicating using a wireless communication protocol, the system comprising: an autodialer connected to the transmitting device for causing the transmitting device to initiate a call request to the receiving device through the at least one basestation in the wireless network; a first sensor for sensing RF signals emanating from the transmitting device and having an output port for providing a first signal based upon the RF signals sensed from the transmitting device; a second sensor for sensing RF signals emanating from the receiving device and having an output port for providing a second signal based upon the RF signals sensed from the receiving device; and a controller for controlling operation of said autodialler and coupled to the output ports of said first sensor and said second sensor to receive said first signal and said second signal, respectively, the controller including a test module for determining whether said call request is received by the receiving device from the at least one basestation in the wireless network, wherein said controller includes a processor and wherein said test module is executable by said processor for controlling the system in accordance with a test sequence; wherein said test module includes a component for determining whether said first signal indicates a successful outgoing call request and for determining whether said second signal indicates a successful incoming call request; and wherein said successful outgoing call request is indicated by an RF pulse having a duration greater than a first threshold and occurring within a predefined first time window.
