ABSTRACT:
A method and system for collecting test and measurement data for a wireless communication system utilizes a network overlay geo-location system to collect the data. The wireless communication system has plural base stations defining a signal coverage area for communication with a mobile appliance and collects test and measurement data simultaneous on the forward and reverse links during standard geo-location processes. The wireless communication system also collects test and measurement data when the network overlay geolocation system is in an idle state.
