Abstract
Recent LTE communications schemes utilize such large amounts of data traffic, that there is little available bandwidth for performing sniffing of nearby base stations and/or cells, which is often integral in performing carious calibrations. Utilizing an LTE scheduler, small data traffic gaps can be detected in one or both of the receive chain and transmit chain. During these data traffic gaps, portions of sniffing data can be acquired and stored without significant interruption to the communication chains, where the overall process may be referred to as 'blinking.' Over time, these portions can be accumulated in memory until a sufficient. Over time, these portions can be accumulated in memory until a sufficient amount of sniffing data has been acquired. Once sufficient data has been acquired, sniffing analysis can be performed in the background on the combined data.
