An Advanced QOS Analysis and Evaluation Method for Mobile Internet Access

The paper proposes a new method for the analysis and evaluation of the Quality of Service (QoS) in a mobile Internet access scenario. In particular, the paper proposes a throughput evaluation method based on PathChirp algorithm. The end-to-end bandwidth was estimated by means of the Self Loading of Periodic Streams (SloPS) technique. The obtained measurements were then analyzed by estimating the degree of correlation with other parameters that characterize the data transmission such as power, round trip time, etc. Finally, in order to have greater spatial resolution performance guaranteed by an Internet service provider, a 3D reconstruction method based on using drones is proposed and some preliminary results are discussed.
