A paper by Fabian
Kaup, Florian Jomrich, David Hausheer, entitled “Demonstration of NetworkCoverage
– A Mobile Network Performance Measurement App” was accepted for presentation at
International Conference on Networked Systems (NetSys 2015).
Optimizing the Quality of Experience (QoE) of mobile
applications over cellular networks requires detailed knowledge of the
underlying network and it’s performance. Parameters of interest are, besides
the signal strength and availability of technologies, the Round-trip Time (RTT)
and available throughput of individual cells at a given location. This information
is generally not readily available. Therefore, an Android application measuring
the cellular network performance was developed. This demonstration shows the
NetworkCoverage App, being implemented to provide
visual feedback of the measured network quality to the users, and sample the
cellular network in an efficient manner to later support traffic scheduling improvements
based on reliable data. |
