Patent ID: 8693529

Claim:
A method of testing a communication device comprising: listening with a device under test (DUT) for a synchronization initiation message; if said DUT fails to receive said synchronization initiation message within a synchronization initiation time interval, then listening again with said DUT for said synchronization initiation message; if said DUT receives said synchronization initiation message within said synchronization initiation time interval, then transmitting with said DUT a synchronization response message, followed by at least one of listening with said DUT for a synchronization confirmation message, and executing with said DUT at least a portion of one or more of a plurality of communications of a block-partitioned data packet sequence including neither said synchronization initiation message nor said synchronization confirmation message; and if said DUT fails said at least one of listening with said DUT for a synchronization confirmation message, and executing with said DUT at least a portion of one or more of a plurality of communications of a block-partitioned data packet sequence, then repeating said listening and transmitting with said DUT.
