Abstract

A system for monitoring, controlling, analyzing performance and/or tracing malfunctions in standard radio networks using the recording of the data exchange of a minimum number of channels available in each radio network, wherein at least the channel utilization and/or the number and/or the duration of channel changes and/or the number of clients and/or the number of packet retransmissions and/or the categorization of the traffic (management, data) is analyzed relative to the data exchange, is formed as a mobile, portable unit having a number of radio-frequency receivers covering all available radio channels or the channels identified by the system as relevant. The unit also comprises at least one adapter which prepares the data or data packets recorded by the RF-receivers and transfers them in the form of traffic data to a mass memory of an integrated computer or processor.
