Method for controlling the mobile network coverage of a mobile network and method for controlling the operation of a toll-on-board unit

摘要

A method for controlling the spatial coverage of a mobile network by a vehicle (100) having a device (101) for measuring the field strength of a mobile radio transmitter (105) at a specific location, comprising the steps of: determining the vehicle position (6, 20), measuring the field strength the mobile radio transmitter (6, 20) and transmitting (8, 23) the measured field strength and the vehicle position to a central measurement data acquisition unit (1, 106), wherein for determining the vehicle position and for measuring the field strength, a toll-on-board unit (2 , 101), wherein the central measurement data acquisition unit (1, 106) transmits to the toll on-board unit (2, 101) a list of location coordinates of known network coverage problem areas detected by the toll on-board unit (10). 2, 101), wherein a measurement is started by the central measurement data acquisition unit (1, 106) as soon as the toll on-board unit (2, 101) is in a location close to a prob lemzone, whereupon the toll on-board unit (2, 101) continuously measures the field strength of the mobile radio transmitter (6, 20) and the vehicle position and stores the measurement data in an internal list, wherein the stored measurement data are compared with the problem areas and if a new problem location is detected which is not yet included in the list of location coordinates of known problem locations, the new problem location is transmitted to the central measurement data acquisition unit (1, 106).
