Abstract
A mobile telecommunications system comprising a network (30) is described having at least one base station transceiver (31-34) for communication with mobile terminals (50) within a first geographic area (A, B, C, D). The network (30) is adapted for communicating messages to an from the at least one base station transceiver (31-34) which is connected to a first communications link (36-39) of the network (30) for receipt and transmission of user messages. The at least one base station transceiver (31-34) is adapted so that when the at least one base station transceiver (31-34) detects a fault in the first communications link (36-39) the at least one base station transceiver (31-34) continues to transmit a beacon or pilot signal; and the network (30) is adapted to monitor activity of the mobile terminals (50) for determination of whether the beacon or pilot signal is being transmitted from the at least one base station transceiver (31-34). This allows determination of whether the fault is in the data link or in the base station transceiver.
