CONSTITUTION:Plural mobile machines inside the system are put in an order and when a test call command is transmitted from a monitoring and controlling station 1 to the mobile machine 3b for instance at the time of performing the test, the mobile machine 3b performs a call processing test to a second mobile machine 3c. Then, when a call processing is completed, the call processing is executed from the second mobile machine 3c to a third mobile machine 3d and the call processing test is automatically performed until the last mobile machine automatically perform the test.

Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a test call control system using a test mobile unit in a mobile communication system having a plurality of radio base stations.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, in a mobile communication system having a plurality of radio base stations, a plurality of radio base stations, a supervisory control station for supervising and controlling those radio base stations, and a general fixed telephone are connected to a telephone network. Mobile stations belong to each radio base station, and when testing whether or not the system itself is normal, the mobile stations installed in each radio base station are used to move each mobile station from the supervisory control station. A test call is performed by sending a call processing for test, that is, a command for executing the test call to the machine.

[0003]

According to such a conventional method, in order to test a plurality of base stations in the system, it is necessary to send a test call execution command to all relevant mobile stations. . For example, when testing all base stations in the system, a test call execution command must be sent to all mobile stations, which is a time-consuming and time-consuming task for the system maintainer. Further, while the test is being executed, many control signals are transmitted and received between the supervisory control station and each base station, which imposes a heavy processing load on the entire system.

The present invention has been made in view of such a situation, and an object thereof is to simplify the test call execution of the system.

[0005]

In order to solve such a problem, the present invention assigns an order to a plurality of mobile units in a system, and when a test is performed, the first control from the supervisory control station is performed. When a test call command is sent to the mobile station, the mobile station conducts a call processing test on the second mobile station, and when the call processing is completed, the call processing from the second mobile station to the third mobile station starts After that, the call processing test was automatically performed up to the last mobile station mainly by the mobile station.

[0006]

According to this method, if the order is assigned to all the mobile stations in the system, for example, the supervisory control station automatically activates the first mobile station to test the entire system.

[0007]

FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing the configuration of an embodiment of the present invention, showing an example of a mobile communication system. In this example, a plurality of radio base stations 2a to 2n are connected to mobile stations 3a to 3n.
The corresponding one of them belongs. Further, the wireless base stations 2a to 2n, the monitor control station 1, and the general fixed-line telephone 4 are connected to the telephone network 5.

[0008] Normally, when each mobile unit receives a command from the supervisory control station 1, the mobile unit performs call processing via the base station in which the mobile unit is installed. For example, when the monitor control station 1 issues a call command to the fixed telephone 4 via the wireless base station 2b to the mobile device 3b, the mobile device 3b communicates with the general fixed telephone 4 via the wireless base station 2b. Make a call connection between them. As a result, the mobile device 3b is tested.

Further, the mobile station 3b sends a command to the next mobile station 3c to execute a test call after executing the call processing by the incoming call. Therefore, the mobile device 3c performs call processing to the general fixed-line telephone 4 in response to an incoming call from the mobile device 3b. After that, similarly, when the mobile device finishes the call processing by the incoming call, it sends a command for performing a test to the next mobile device.

FIG. 2 illustrates the above operation. For example, the mobile station 3 from the monitor control station 1 via the radio base station 2a.
The state in which the test call is being executed is shown in a, and the mobile device 3a
It is supposed to call the next mobile station. Figure 2
First, when the supervisory control station 1 transmits a test call execution command indicated by symbol a, it is transmitted to the mobile station 3a via the radio base station 2a as indicated by symbol a '.

As a result, the mobile unit 3a performs a call operation from the mobile unit 3a to the mobile unit 3b as indicated by symbols B and C, and a test call arrives at the mobile unit 3b as indicated by symbol D. To call. As a result, a call is made as indicated by the symbol e as required, or when there is no need for a call, the call-end processing is performed between the mobile units 3a and 3b as indicated by the symbol.

Next, the mobile station 3b performs a call-out operation as indicated by symbol G, and a call-out and a call-in from the mobile station 3b to the mobile station 3c are performed as indicated by symbols C and L. . Then, after the call processing is performed as indicated by the symbol N, if necessary, the call termination processing indicated by the symbol Le is performed.

Thereafter, after the test up to the mobile unit 3n is performed in the same manner, a call operation from the mobile unit 3n to the mobile unit 3a as shown by symbol w and an end call operation as shown by symbol K. Is done. As a result, when all the tests are completed, the mobile device 3a transmits a test completion report as shown by symbol Y, and this is transmitted to the control station 1 via the radio base station 2a, and the series of tests is completed.

[0014]

As described above, according to the present invention, when a test call is transmitted to one mobile station and the test call is completed, the test call is transmitted from the mobile station to the next mobile station, which is sequentially transmitted. Since the last mobile station is automatically performed, the supervisory control station has an effect that all mobile stations can be tested by only one operation.
