Abstract
Abstract A device for testing the link power control in a mobile communications system includes: a first device including an attenuator whose attenuation factor is controllable; a base station transmitting data through the attenuator; a mobile receiving the data transmitted from the base station through the attenuator; a first cable for connecting the transmission terminal of the base station to the input terminal of the attenuator; a second cable for connecting the output terminal of the attenuator to the reception terminal of the mobile; and a third cable for connecting the reception terminal of the base station to the transmission terminal of the mobile, the first device being for testing the forward link power control; and a second device including an attenuator whose attenuation factor is controllable; a mobile transmitting data through the attenuator; a base station receiving the data transmitted from the mobile through the attenuator; a fourth cable for connecting the transmission terminal of the mobile to the input terminal of the attenuator; a fifth cable for connecting the output terminal of the attenuator to the reception terminal of the base station; and a sixth cable for connecting the transmission terminal of the base station to the reception terminal of the mobile, the second device being for testing the reverse link power control.

A method of testing a (link power control in a mobile communication system, the method comprising the steps of: (a) a BSM requesting a BTIA to control the forward power, and the BTIA, which received the forward power control request, sending "mobile on" signal to a mobile; (b) the BTIA receiving information about a reception power and error rate from the mobile and outputting a signal responding to the power control request to the BSM, and the BSM sending "markov on" signal to a TSB (Transcoding Select Bank); (c) the TSB outputting a call setting signal to the mobile, the BTIA receiving the call setting signal from the mobile, and outputting a signal for confirming if the call is set to a BCPA; (d) the BCPA outputting a signal requesting call information to a channel card, the channel card sending a signal responding the call information to the BCPA, and the BCPA outputting a signal responding to call setting information to the BTIA; (e) the BTIA sending the current state of the BSM to report the current state of the forward link, the BSM comparing the received error rate with a critical value and outputting a transmission power control command to the BTIA based on the compared result, and the BTIA which received the transmission power control command instructing the mobile to control its transmission power; (f) the BTIA , which received the information about the reception power and error rate from the mobile, outputting a signal requesting the forward power control to the channel card, and the channel card raising the transmission power and reporting the transmission power rising state to the BTIA at a predetermined period; (g) the BTIA, which received the transmission power rising state from the channel card, sending information about the progress of the forward power control to the BSM, the mobile including a message continuously requesting correction at a predetermined period into a traffic channel until it can normally receive signals, and transmitting the message, and the BTIA and channel card repeating the step (f); and the channel card informing the BTIA that the power control is finished when the receiving state of the mobile is stabilized, and the BTIA outputting a signal informing the completion of the forward power control to the BSM.
