Abstract
The quality of service for the voice and data communication is one of the most important elements in the mobile cellularnetworks. This quality has the time varying characteristics depending on the wireless network environments. In order toguarantee the quality of service at the predefined level, the mobile service provider needs to collect all the information aboutthe level of quality served by the local base stations. In the conventional method the information on the service quality ismeasured and collected by the moving vehicle adopting the global positioning device. However this method requiresrelatively high cost and does not cover all the service areas. In this paper a new method is proposed utilizing a measurementnode with local area communication transceiver and the mobile user equipment. In the proposed method the nodecommunicates with the user equipment periodically to monitor the information on the service quality. The resultinginformation is reported to the measurement server in the mobile network. This method could be applied to either the circuitor the packet based networks. It also has an advantage in terms of the cost efficiency compared to the conventional methodconsidering the required the equipment and the human resources.
