Abstract

A method of establishing the amount of communications traffic that would be handled by an additional transceiver placed within a communications network having a number of existing base transceiver stations is disclosed. Many known methods rely on monitoring and logging traffic in range of a test receiver, leading to the technical problem that the method involves the use of complex logging apparatus at the test site. The present invention solves that problem by transmitting an interfering signal from a proposed transceiver location (A, B), and relying on recording equipment (54) connected to the base station (10) to log the reports of mobile phones (27-38) concerning the quality of the downlink communication channel from the base station (10) to them.
