Method for dynamical control of loading of a transmission channel and load generator for transmitting a test sequence

摘要

A test sequence comprising numbers of test patterns is formed in accordance with a communications protocol to be used during transmission (100). A desired channel workload is determined (110). A given number of test patterns of the test sequence is transmitted (120). Actual channel loading is determined (130). The number of filling characters required to meet the desired channel loading is determined (140). This number of filling characters is transmitted (150). Transmission is ended (160) on sending the last test pattern, otherwise further test patterns await transmission, and the process reverts to the earlier stage (120) in which a number of them are sent. An Independent claim is included for the corresponding load generator.
