Patent ID: 8478263

Claim:
A method of determining wireless chipset performance, comprising: measuring a performance indicator for uplink traffic sent to a wireless chipset of a wireless device a plurality of times under a plurality of conditions to generate a set of uplink performance indicators; measuring a performance indicator for downlink traffic received from a wireless chipset of a wireless device a plurality of times under the plurality of conditions to generate a set of downlink performance indicators; wherein the plurality of conditions comprise: a set of center frequency parameters; a set of attenuation factor parameters for each one of the set of center frequency parameters; a set of channel model parameters for each one of the combinations of attenuation factor parameters and center frequency parameters, wherein the set of channel model parameters comprise at least one ITU channel fading model; and, a set of modulation coding scheme parameters for each one of the combinations of channel model parameters, attenuation factor parameters, and center frequency parameters; and determining a performance of the wireless chipset under the plurality of conditions based on the set of uplink performance indicators and the set of downlink performance indicators.
