Patent ID: 8842552

Claim:
A method of facilitating testing of multiple time-division-duplex (TDD) data packet signal transceivers, comprising: providing a plurality of outgoing data packet signals for a plurality of TDD data packet signal transceivers, wherein each one of said plurality of outgoing data packet signals corresponds to a common data packet signal comprising at least one of a null data packet signal, and a TDD data packet signal with a data packet signal characteristic; when said common data packet signal comprises a null data packet signal, continuing to provide said plurality of outgoing data packet signals for a predetermined time interval; and when said common data packet signal comprises a TDD data packet signal, responding to successful and unsuccessful receptions of respective ones of a plurality of responsive signals from said plurality of TDD data packet signal transceivers by providing one or more of said plurality of outgoing data packet signals, wherein each one of said plurality of responsive signals is indicative of a successful reception of a valid data packet by a corresponding one of said plurality of TDD data packet signal transceivers, and following a successful reception of one of said plurality of responsive signals from a corresponding one of said plurality of TDD data packet signal transceivers, a corresponding one of said plurality of outgoing data packet signals is provided with said data packet signal characteristic such that said corresponding one of said plurality of outgoing data packet signals fails to conform with a predetermined data packet signal standard, and following an unsuccessful reception of one of said plurality of responsive signals from a corresponding one of said plurality of TDD data packet signal transceivers, a corresponding one of said plurality of outgoing data packet signals is provided with said data packet signal characteristic such that said corresponding one of said plurality of outgoing data packet signals conforms with said predetermined data packet signal standard.
