QoS and Benchmarking in heterogeneous Wireless Networks
QoS and Benchmarking in heterogeneous Wireless networks
Last Updated: 2026-02-05 15:06:57
Abstract
In wireless networks the support of QoS is an important issue with respect to user satisfaction, quality assurance and benchmarking - in cellular networks as well as in access networks (e.g. WLAN 802.11). Based on a review of wireless networks, the lecture gives an introduction to: QoS, mechanisms supporting QoS in wireless networks, QoS measurements (and statistical evaluation), benchmarking.
Objective
Understanding QoS measurements and their evaluation in wireless networks
Content
- Introduction - Wireless networks (cellular networks, access networks) - Wireless standards (e.g. GSM, UMTS, IEEE 802.11) - Services in wireless networks (e.g. VoIP, VoWLAN, GPRS) - Quality of service (QoS) in wireless networks (definitions, Key Performance Indicators, mechanisms used to support QoS) - QoS measurements (e.g. voice quality, coverage, delay) - Statistical evaluation of QoS measurements - Benchmarking (methodology, statistical methods and models) Weekly exercises included in the lecture
