OVER-THE-AIR AUDIO QUALITY TESTING REMOTE FROM TESTING SITE - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240014909 titled 'OVER-THE-AIR AUDIO QUALITY TESTING REMOTE FROM TESTING SITE

Simplified Explanation

The technology described in this patent application is a method, computer medium, and system for remote testing of audio quality over-the-air (OTA) using a test platform located at the core network. The test platform consists of two cellular handsets and bridging logic that connects and controls them.

  • The method involves triggering the bridging logic, which then initiates a first call over the first cellular handset to a tester and a second call over the second cellular handset to a destination. The second call is initiated over-the-air.
  • The bridging logic and the cellular handsets are positioned in a location that causes the cellular network to route the first call over a segment under test.
  • The bridging logic bridges audio between the first and second calls, including relaying audio.
  • The tester can determine that the second call was established based on the relayed audio.

Potential applications of this technology:

  • Remote testing of audio quality over-the-air in cellular networks.
  • Quality assurance and troubleshooting of audio calls in real-world network conditions.
  • Monitoring and optimization of audio performance in cellular networks.

Problems solved by this technology:

  • Enables remote testing of audio quality without the need for physical presence at the test location.
  • Provides a method for testing audio performance over-the-air, simulating real-world conditions.
  • Allows for efficient monitoring and troubleshooting of audio calls in cellular networks.

Benefits of this technology:

  • Cost-effective remote testing of audio quality in cellular networks.
  • Improved efficiency in identifying and resolving audio performance issues.
  • Enables continuous monitoring and optimization of audio quality in real-world network conditions.


Original Abstract Submitted

the technology includes a method, computer medium, and system for remote testing over-the-air (ota) audio quality using a test platform positioned at core network, the test platform comprising first and second cellular handsets and bridging logic that interconnects, controls, and bridges the first and second cellular handsets. the method includes triggering the bridging logic. the bridging logic initiates a first call over the first cellular handset to a tester, and initiates a second call over the second cellular handset to a destination, wherein the second call is initiated over-the-air. the bridging logic and the first and second cellular handsets are positioned in a location that causes routing by a cellular network of the first call over a segment under test. the bridging logic bridging audio between the first and the second calls, including relaying audio. the tester determines that the second call was established based on the relayed audio.
