QoS estimation for cellular packet data networks
Nicolae Cotanis · 2003
There is a lot of effort in the industry for defining adequate and realistic end-to-end QoS indicators for cellular data services, which might be applicable for estimating delivered QoS and for specifying the QoS control mechanisms for the underline transport networks. The paper proposes a set of measurements and a procedure for mapping the results to key quality and performance indicators. The procedure is independent of the network architecture and technology. It is a top down approach for directing the network optimization process, starting from the end user perspective.
