Test Display Controller for Mobile System Information Schedules
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current methods for confirming the transmission schedule of system information in mobile communication terminal tests require extensive time and labor, as testers must search through complex test scenarios and logs to visually identify the transmission schedule of system information, which is difficult due to the large amount of information and high degree of freedom in block allocation.
Innovation Solution
A testing apparatus with a system information acquisition unit to extract relevant data from test scenarios and communication logs, and a display unit to present the transmission schedule in a tabular format, allowing easy identification of block types and their allocated frame positions, reducing the need for repetitive scrolling and enhancing visibility.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Loss of information
If testers visually search through test scenarios and logs to confirm system information transmission schedule, then complete information can be obtained, but time and labor requirements increase significantly
Solution Approach 1:
The invention extracts system information transmission schedule data from the complex test scenario and log files, separating the required information from the large volume of unrelated data. The extraction unit specifically identifies and extracts transmission schedule information, block types, and frame allocation data, presenting only the relevant information to testers without requiring them to search through the entire test scenario or log files.
Solution Approach 2:
The invention introduces an intermediary processing system consisting of an extraction unit and display control unit that acts as a mediator between the raw test data and the tester. This intermediary automatically processes the test scenario and log files, extracts the transmission schedule information, and presents it in a formatted tabular display, eliminating the need for testers to manually search through complex data structures.
2Loss of information
If complex test scenarios and logs are displayed in full detail, then complete information is available, but ease of operation decreases due to difficulty in locating specific information
Solution Approach 1:
The extraction unit selectively extracts only the transmission schedule information, block types, and frame allocation data from the complex test scenario and log files. This extracted information is then displayed in a simplified tabular format that highlights the specific details testers need, removing all unrelated information and making the data easily locatable and understandable.
Solution Approach 2:
The display control unit creates a localized view that presents information with different visual qualities based on importance. The tabular display format emphasizes key parameters such as block types and frame allocations, making critical information stand out visually. This localized presentation focuses the tester's attention on the specific transmission schedule details without requiring them to search through the broader context of entire test scenarios.
3Adaptability or versatility
If system information blocks are allocated with high degree of freedom in frame positions, then flexibility in test configuration is improved, but device complexity increases due to arbitrary setting options
Solution Approach 1:
The invention creates a simplified copy or representation of the complex transmission schedule configuration in a tabular display format. Instead of requiring testers to navigate the complex arbitrary settings and frame position allocations directly, the system generates a copied view that shows the actual transmission schedule, block types, and frame positions in an organized manner, making the complex configuration easily visible and understandable.
Data Source
AI summary
A testing apparatus includes a scenario processing unit that executes a test scenario for operating the testing apparatus to imitate the operation of a base station, a communication unit capable of transmitting and receiving a message to and from a mobile communication terminal, a layer processing unit for processing a message for each layer, a log data storing unit for storing log data indicating transmission of messages between the layers, and a display controller for creating a transmission schedule based on the extracted data associated with system information and causing a display unit to display the transmission schedule. The transmission schedule is written in a tabular form in which a block type of the system information is displayed at a position to which a frame for transmitting the system information is allocated.
