Abstract
A system and method for using a wireless radio frequency (RF) data packet signaling link to enable non-link control of testing of a data packet signal transceiver device under test (DUT) in which a communication session between a tester and a DUT for purposes of testing the DUT may first be initiated by a separate, commonly available, and lower cost, communication device. Following its establishment, the tester may monitor the communication session, e.g., via wireless signal sniffing, to acquire and use associated device identification information to join the session and transmit trigger based test (TBT) data packets for initiating a test sequence within the DUT. Hence, use of a non-link capable tester to perform parametric testing of a DUT at the lowest network architecture layer, e.g., the physical (PHY) layer, may be enabled.
