Quality measurements
TEMS Automatic measures uplink and downlink voice and data services
end-to-end from the user’s perspective. This gives operators control over
the quality they are offering, as well as the ability to track down network
weak spots. Measuring KPIs allows impartial comparison of different net-
works. Together with these KPI measurements, the system also supplies
in-depth technical measurements that give a perfect foundation for analysis
and problem solving.
Data quality
Data service performance measurements are performed on the air
interface layers (RLC/LLC), and in the application layer (TCP), by measuring
industry-standard KPIs. These KPIs include setup/send/receive timers and
the various data throughput rates at which services have been transferred
over the network. Typical services that are used for data testing include FTP,
HTTP, and SMS, as well as new services such as video streaming/Mobile TV,
MMS, andWAP.
