The invention relates to a method and to a test device (12) which is used
to determine an error rate during the transfer of data (1) in a mobile
radio system. Said mobile radio system comprises at least one transfer
channel, wherein several data partial flows (2.1, 2.2, 2.6) are
transferred. The several data partial flows (2.1, 2.2 . . . 2.6) are
produced in a signal generator unit (8). A transport format is
determined, in an individual manner, for each data partial flow (2.1, 2.2
. . . 2.6). The data partial flows (2.1, 2.2 . . . 2.6) are sent,
respectively, to a number of transfer blocks which belong together (5.1,
. . . 7.1). A device which is to be tested captures the transfer blocks
(5.1, . . . 7.1) of the data partial flows (2.1, 2.2 . . . 2.6) and
evaluates them. According to the accuracy of the evaluation, a positive
or negative actuation signal (ACK, NACK) is sent back by the device which
is to be tested. An error rate of each data partial flow (2.1, 2.2 . . .
2.6) is determined by the test device (12) from the actuation signals
(ACK, NACK) which are captured by the test device (12).
