ABSTRACT:
A technique for monitoring a radio in a base station for both catastrophic fault and intermittent faults is disclosed. Some embodiments of the present invention operate by observing and measuring the functionality of one radio with regard to other radios and inferring the status of the radios based on comparative statistical analysis of their respective functionality. An illustrative wireless telecommunications system comprises: N radios, each of which can receive a hail with substantially equal probability; N counters, each of which is uniquely associated with one of the N radios, that is incremented when a hail received by the associated server is acknowledged; and an alarm for indicating a fault with one of the N radios based on (1) a count, L, of the counter associated with the one of the N radios, and (2) a sum, S, of all of the counters.
