Abstract

The area of study proposed in this paper is the evaluation of the Quality of Service (QoS) provided by a Long Term Evolution (LTE) cellular data network. It is aimed to address the gap between the technical capabilities and the QoS experienced by the user. The analysis is based on the live data that are collected on commercial cellular network and compared against broadband wireless LAN. A methodology for QoS assessment based on a relatively small set of Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) is devised. The measured data are used to verify the proposed methodology.

Introduction

Data services are changing our life in a profound way. Cellular providers make Internet connectivity available anywhere and anytime. Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) help define the performance metrics of a network They allow cellular operators to maintain their networks so that the users remain satisfied. The ratio of successful connections and the number of connection attempts represents the success rate - which is an important indicator of the performance quality It is a much better indication of the performance of the network. The area of study proposed in this paper is the evaluation of QoS in a cellular data network. At present, this is a problem that exists despite the fact there are large volumes of measured performance data collected on various nodes of cellular networks. Analysis software: Gladiator G-Station software is a tool for efficient process-management, consolidation, integration, analysis, and correlation of data collected
