Abstract

A method for functional testing of a transmission and reception path includes transmitting a first signal at a first transmission power level to a radio station and determining a first reception strength, with a base station. A first difference value is subsequently calculated. The radio station transmits a second signal at a second transmission power level to the base station, determines a second reception strength, and calculates a second difference value. Any difference between the difference values is then compared with a threshold value, and a function of a transmission and reception path is derived from the comparison. A base station of a radio communications system is also provided.
