Abstract Conceptual and analytical models of an overall telecommunication system are utilized in this chapter for the definition of scalable indicators towards Quality of Service (QoS) monitoring, prediction, and management. The telecommunication system is considered on different levels – service phase, service stage, network, and overall system. The network itself is presented in seven service stages – A-user, A-terminal, Dialing, Switching, B-terminal Seizure, B-terminal, and B-user, each having its own characteristics and specifics. Traffic quality indicators are proposed on each level. Two network cost/quality ratios are proposed – mean and instantaneous – along with illustrative numerical predictions of the latter, which could be useful for dynamic pricing policy execution, depending on the network load. All defined indicators could be considered as sources for Quality of Experience (QoE) prediction.
