END-TO-END SERVICE QUALITY MONITORING METHOD AND SYSTEM IN A RADIO NETWORK

摘要

The present invention discloses a method and a system for service quality monitoring in a network comprising radio interfaces. The measurements are end-to-end measurements between the end user and chosen network element. The measurements are implemented using monitoring stations which can monitor the traffic passively or actively by transmitting test signals. The antenna beam directions of the monitoring stations can be controlled. The performance server works as a counterpart of the active tests. A reporting suite may define the performed measurements and it also collects the measurement data from different monitoring stations. Monitoring data from several corporate intranets can also be collected to an external server through internet connection.
