Abstract

To provide a measurement apparatus and measurement method capable of shortening the measurement time, a measurement apparatus 10 includes: an acquisition section 21 that acquires the data of a plurality of slots; a setting unit 12 that sets measurement items for each slot; an additional time table 23 that stores additional time set in advance for each measurement item; a measurement period setting section 22 that sets a measurement period for measuring the data of a slot by adding additional time before and after time assigned to the slot; and a measurement section 30 that measures the characteristics of the data of the slot in a measurement period.

Claims (26)

1. A measurement apparatus for receiving a frame signal from a terminal to be tested and measuring characteristics of time-division data included in the frame signal, the apparatus comprising:

measurement item setting means for setting measurement items for each item of the time-division data;

additional time storage means for storing additional time, which is set in advance, for each of the measurement items; and

measurement period setting means for setting a measurement period for measuring the time-division data by adding the additional time before and after a data period assigned to the time-division data;

time-division data acquisition means for acquiring the time-division data during the measurement period;

time-division data measurement means for measuring the characteristics of the time-division data during the measurement period,

wherein the time-division data is acquired and the characteristics of the time division data are measured in parallel during the measurement period.

2. The measurement apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein

the terminal to be tested is able to communicate according to a plurality of communication methods,

the additional time storage means stores the additional time for each of the communication methods, and

the measurement period setting means sets the measurement period for each of the communication methods.

3. The measurement apparatus according to claim 2 , wherein the time-division data acquisition means acquires the time-division data sequentially and consecutively.

4. The measurement apparatus according to claim 3 , wherein the time-division data measurement means includes a plurality of measurement sections that measure the characteristics in parallel with processing of the time-division data acquisition means to acquire the time-division data.

5. The measurement apparatus according to claim 2 , wherein the time-division data measurement means includes a plurality of measurement sections that measure the characteristics in parallel with processing of the time-division data acquisition means to acquire the time-division data.

6. The measurement apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the time-division data acquisition means acquires the time-division data sequentially and consecutively.

7. The measurement apparatus according to claim 6 , wherein the time-division data measurement means includes a plurality of measurement sections that measure the characteristics in parallel with processing of the time-division data acquisition means to acquire the time-division data.

8. The measurement apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the time-division data measurement means includes a plurality of measurement sections that measure the characteristics in parallel with processing of the time-division data acquisition means to acquire the time-division data.

9. The measurement apparatus according to claim 8 , wherein the time-division data measurement means further includes a measurement allocation section that assigns processing for measuring the characteristics to each of the measurement sections.

10. A measurement method for receiving a frame signal from a terminal to be tested and measuring characteristics of time-division data included in the frame signal, the method comprising:

setting measurement items for each item of the time-division data;

setting a measurement period for measuring the time-division data by adding the additional time before and after a data period, which is assigned to the time-division data, on the basis of an additional time table that stores additional time set in advance for each of the measurement items; and

in parallel during the measurement period, acquiring the time-division data and measuring the characteristics of the time-division data.

11. The measurement method according to claim 10 , wherein

the terminal to be tested is able to communicate according to a plurality of communication methods,

the additional time table stores the additional time for each of the communication methods, and

the measurement period is set for each of the communication methods.
