Abstract
A method and system for monitoring output power of transceivers in radiocommunication systems are described. By evaluating a statistic associated with pre- and post handoff received signals, information can be gathered regarding the transmit power operating characteristic of various transceivers. For example, by measuring the received signal strength of a neighboring base station's control channel prior to handoff and comparing that with the received signal strength of a traffic channel transmitted by the same base station after handoff, the system can acquire information regarding the power output of a base station transceiver. Over time, the system can determine whether one or more power settings associated with that transceiver needs adjustment.
