Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

In one embodiment, the radio frequency scanner includes a detector configured to receive signals for transmission by the base station, and to detect a presence metric for each carrier expected in the received signals. A processor is configured to determine if the base station is operating improperly based on the detected presence metrics.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

We claim: 1. A radio frequency scanner for monitoring a base station, comprising: a detector configured to receive signals for transmission by the base station, and the detector configured to detect a presence metric for each carrier expected in the received signals; a processor configured to determine if the base station is operating improperly based on the detected presence metrics, wherein the processor is configured to determine a number of detected carriers based on the p…
