Base station transceiver diagnostics equipment

Abstract

Abstract Base Station Transceiver Equipment (10) is provided such as for use in a cellular radio telephone system (fig. 3). A receiver (32) associated with a first base station transmitter in a first cell has means for monitoring a parameter of transmissions from a second base station transmitter (34-38) remotely located from the first base station transmitter. The receiver further comprises means for reporting, to a central management centre (40) responsible for the operational control of base stations (32-28) in the cellular radio communications system, if a change in said parameter is detected. The operation management centre (40) has means for determining whether the reported change in said parameter is due to a fault in the second base station transmitter and not to a specific operational change anticipated by the operation management centre.
