Measuring service quality of IP data over UMTS network

Third Generation (3G) services are becoming more and more required by the users for high demanding for higher data rate transfer. In order to ensure that, in the end, the subscriber is served with a proper Quality of Service, certain measurements must be performed. However, the key to have a right e...
