Vorrichtung und Verfahren zum Bestimmen einer genutzten Uebertragungskapazitaet eines Basisstationssendeempfaengers

(A1) Vorrichtung (100) zum Bestimmen einer genutzten Sendekapazitaet eines Basisstationssendeempfaengers zum Senden eines Sendesignals mit einem Empfaenger (110), mit dem das Sendesignal empfangbar ist und einem Detektor (120) zum Ueberpruefen einer Anzahl von nutzbaren Sendekanaelen aus dem Sendesignal auf deren Nutzung hin. Die Vorrichtung (100) umfasst ferner eine Recheneinheit (130) zum Berechnen der genutzten Sendekapazitaet, basierend auf einem Ergebnis der Ueberpruefung.

EP 2031780 A2 UPAB: 20090327 NOVELTY - The device (100) has a receiver (110) for receiving a transmission signal, and a detector (120) for examining a set of used transmission channels from the transmission signal. A calculation unit (130) calculates the used transmission capacity based on a result of the examination. The detector is designed to examine the usage of the used transmission channels independent of transmitted date in the transmission channels. The receiver exhibits a directional coupler or a power divider coupled in a transmission path of a base station transceiver. DETAILED DESCRIPTION - INDEPENDENT CLAIMS are also included for the following: (1) a method for determining used transmission capacity of a base station transceiver for transmitting a transmission signal (2) a computer program with a program code for executing a method for determining used transmission capacity of a base station transceiver for transmitting a transmission signal. USE - Device for determining a used transmission capacity of a base station transceiver, for transmitting a transmission signal, in an antenna, a container and a transmitting tower. ADVANTAGE - The device effectively determines the used transmission capacity of the base station transceiver with low operating cost. The device determines the used transmission capacity of the transceiver from outside without detecting the transmission reference data.
