Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A method for communicating test results from a wireless device under test (DUT) using non-link testing resources. Test data resulting from testing one or more operations of the DUT are combined with other data to form one or more data packets for transmission to a tester. The test data occupies, e.g., via encoding, a portion of the one or more data packets designated for data identifying the DUT or a tester.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A method for communicating test results from a wireless device under test (DUT), comprising: combining, with said DUT, a plurality of test data to a plurality of other data to form one or more data packets, wherein said plurality of test data is related to at least one test of one or more operations of said DUT and occupies a portion of said one or more data packets designated for data identifying at least one said DUT or a tester; and transmitting, with said DUT, said one or more data packets for reception by said tester, wherein said combining comprises encoding said portion of said one or more data packets designated for data identifying a wireless device address. 2. A method for communicating test results from a wireless device under test (DUT), comprising: combining, with said DUT, a plurality of test data to a plurality of other data to form one or more data packets, wherein said plurality of test data is related to at least one test of one or more operations of said DUT and occupies a portion of said one or more data packets designated for data identifying at least one said DUT or a tester; and transmitting, with said DUT, said one or more data packets for reception by said tester; wherein said wireless device address comprises one of a MAC address or Bluetooth address for said DUT. 3. A method for communicating test results from a wireless device under test (DUT), comprising: combining, with said DUT, a plurality of test data to a plurality of other data to form one or more data packets, wherein said plurality of test data is related to at least one test of one or more operations of said DUT and occupies a portion of said one or more data packets designated for data identifying at least one said DUT or a tester; and transmitting, with said DUT, said one or more data packets for reception by said tester; wherein said wireless device address comprises one of a MAC address or Bluetooth address for said tester. 4. A method for receiving test results from a wireless device under test (DUT), comprising: receiving, with a tester from said DUT, one or more data packets containing a plurality of test data and a plurality of other data, wherein said plurality of test data is related to at least one test of one or more operations of said DUT and occupies a portion of said one or more data packets designated for data identifying at least one said DUT or said tester; and processing, with said tester, said plurality of test data; wherein said wireless device address comprises one of a MAC address or Bluetooth address for said DUT. 5. A method for receiving test results from a wireless device under test (DUT), comprising: receiving, with a tester from said DUT, one or more data packets containing a plurality of test data and a plurality of other data, wherein said plurality of test data is related to at least one test of one or more operations of said DUT and occupies a portion of said one or more data packets designated for data identifying at least one said DUT or said tester; and processing, with said tester, said plurality of test data; wherein said wireless device address comprises one of a MAC address or Bluetooth address for said tester. 6. A method for communicating test results from a wireless device under test (DUT) to a tester, comprising: combining, with said DUT, a plurality of test data to a plurality of other data to form one or more data packets, wherein said plurality of test data is related to at least one test of one or more operations of said DUT and occupies a portion of said one or more data packets designated for data identifying at least one said DUT or a tester; transmitting, with said DUT, said one or more data packets; receiving, with said tester from said DUT, said transmitted one or more data packets; and processing, with said tester, said plurality of test data; wherein said combining comprises encoding said portion of said one or more data packets designated for data identifying a wireless device address. 7. A method for communicating test results from a wireless device under test (DUT) to a tester, comprising: combining, with said DUT, a plurality of test data to a plurality of other data to form one or more data packets, wherein said plurality of test data is related to at least one test of one or more operations of said DUT and occupies a portion of said one or more data packets designated for data identifying at least one said DUT or a tester; and transmitting, with said DUT, said one or more data packets; receiving, with said tester from said DUT, said transmitted one or more data packets; and processing, with said tester, said plurality of test data; wherein said wireless device address comprises one of a MAC address or Bluetooth address for said DUT. 8. A method for communicating test results from a wireless device under test (DUT) to a tester, comprising: combining, with said DUT, a plurality of test data to a plurality of other data to form one or more data packets, wherein said plurality of test data is related to at least one test of one or more operations of said DUT and occupies a portion of said one or more data packets designated for data identifying at least one said DUT or a tester; and transmitting, with said DUT, said one or more data packets; receiving, with said tester from said DUT, said transmitted one or more data packets; and processing, with said tester, said plurality of test data; wherein said wireless device address comprises one of a MAC address or Bluetooth address for said tester.
