QUALITY OF SERVICE PARAMETERS EVALUATION IN CELLULAR NETWORKS.

Abstract

Quality of Service refers to the evaluation of the overall performance of a service, such as a telephony or computer network particularly the performance seen by the users of the network. QoS is mostly observed from the subscriber’s side. This includes aspects such as the mobile signal strength available to users and other call avaibility measurements. QoS is normally calculated during signal transmission called KPIs that is connected to the subscriber’s happiness whilst using mobile services. QoS parameters are monitored through RF analysis by Drive Test. Some of these QoS parameters related to call and data are discussed in this paper. These parameters directly or indirectly represents the quality of service provided by the network operators in context of Nepal. This analysis of parameters has helped us identify problems like call performance, slow servicing, least ease of use in a service test area for different service providers in the country.
