The present document is part 3 of a multi-part deliverable covering Speech Processing, Transmission and Quality Asp

16、ects (STQ); User related QoS parameter definitions and measurements, as identified below: Part 1: “General“; Part 2: “Voice telephony, Group 3 fax and modem data services“; Part 3: “QoS parameters specific to Public Land Mobile Networks (PLMN)“. Part 1 contains general user related QoS parameter def

17、initions and measurement methods that can be applied to any service. The present document contains user related QoS parameter definitions and measurement methods for voice, data and fax services accessed via the public telecommunication network. Part 2 contains user related QoS parameter definitions

18、 and measurement methods for voice, data and fax services accessed via the public telecommunication network. The data parameters are specified for the case where a V.9x series modem is used since this kind of modem is in common use. Part 3 (the present document) contains user related QoS parameter d

19、efinitions and measurement methods specific to public mobile telecommunication networks (PLMN). The present document takes into account as far as practicable the following eight principles: 1) QoS parameters should be easily understood by the public, and be useful and important to them. 2) All param

20、eters are applicable at the network termination point (where appropriate). 3) Where measurements are possible they should be made on the customers premises, using in-service lines. NOTE: Literally principles 2 and 3 imply that all measurements must be carried out at the NTP. However, the NTP in PLMN

21、s is not precisely defined. Other methods must be used to achieve an adequate representation of the quality that would be perceived at the NTP for the parameters defined in the present document. 4) To be as realistic as possible, real traffic rather than test calls should be used as a basis of the m

22、easurements, wherever possible. 5) Parameters should be capable of verification by independent organizations. This verification might be made by direct measurements or by audit of service providers measurements. 6) The accuracy of QoS values should be set to a level consistent with measurement metho

23、ds being as simple as possible with costs as low as possible. ETSI ETSI EG 202 057-3 V1.1.1 (2005-04) 5 7) The parameters are designed for both statistical and individual application. The statistical values should be derived by the application of a simple statistical function to the individual value

24、s. The statistical function should be specified in the standard. The present document should also contain guidelines on how statistically significant samples should be selected. 8) The statistical functions should be designed so QoS figures from different service providers can be compared easily by

25、users and in particular consumers. ETSI ETSI EG 202 057-3 V1.1.1 (2005-04) 6 1 Scope The present document contains definitions and measurement methods for a range of user perceivable Quality of Service (QoS) parameters. The purpose of these parameters is to define objective and comparable measures o

26、f the QoS delivered to users/customers for use by users/customers. The present document applies to any telecommunication service however some parameters may have a limited application. The Guide is intended to provide a menu from which individual items can be selected. There is no obligation to use

27、any or all of the parameters. The QoS parameters are related primarily to services and service features and not to the technology used to provide the services. Therefore the parameters should be capable of use when the services are provided on new technologies such as packet switched technologies as

28、 well as on circuit switched technologies. The establishment of target values for QoS is outside the scope of the present document. The QoS parameters listed in the present document are also not intended to assess the complete QoS of a telecommunication service. The present document provides a set o

29、f QoS parameters that covers specific user related QoS aspects rather than a complete list of QoS parameters. This set has been chosen to address areas where monitoring of QoS is likely to be most worthwhile, i.e. the areas that are most likely to be affected by any QoS problems. If stakeholders wis

30、h to examine other QoS aspects they are recommended to follow the general approach of the present document - as far as practicable - as a basis for the development of definitions and measurement methods for new specific QoS parameters. The set of QoS parameters is designed to be understood by the us

31、ers of various telecommunications services. Sub-sets of these parameters can be selected for use in different circumstances. For example a specific parameter might be relevant for many users in some countries or markets but the same parameter might not be of relevance in others. Therefore stakeholde

32、rs - users, customers, regulators, service providers, network operators and other parties interested in the use of QoS parameters - should decide in co-operation, which parameters should be used in their particular situation. This decision should take account of: - The precise purpose for which they

33、 will be used. - The general level of quality achieved by most operators. - The degree to which the parameters will provide a reliable comparison of performance. - The cost of measuring and reporting each parameter. Part 1 contains general user related QoS parameter definitions and measurement metho

34、ds that can be applied to any telecommunications service. The QoS parameters in part 1 are focused on non call related QoS aspects. Additional parts of the present document will contain service specific user related QoS parameter definitions and measurement methods. Part 2 contains user related QoS

35、parameter definitions and measurement methods for voice, data and fax services accessed via public telecommunication networks. The QoS parameters in part 2 are focused on call related QoS aspects. The data parameters are specified for the case where a V.9x series modem is used. Part 3 (the present d

36、ocument) contains user related QoS parameter definitions and measurement methods specific to Public Land Mobile Networks (PLMN). The present document includes the parameters unsuccessful call ratio and dropped call ratio even though they would logically be covered in part 2. The reasons for their in

37、clusion in the present document are: - These parameters are more important for mobile networks than the other call related parameters covered in part 2 and their inclusion makes the present document more self contained. - Dropped call ratio is not included in part 2 because when part 2 was written t

38、he main focus was on fixed networks where this parameter is much less important than in mobile networks. ETSI ETSI EG 202 057-3 V1.1.1 (2005-04) 7 The parameters in the present document apply to call related services but not to Internet access provided by GPRS or later technologies. For some of the

39、parameters in the present document, alternative measurement methods are given based either on drive round tests and or on network element counters. Each method has its own advantages and disadvantages and the results of one approach are not comparable with the results of the other approach, and ther

40、efore, if comparability is needed, operators and regulators should decide which approach should be used in their country and all network operators should use the same approach. 2 References The following documents contain provisions which, through reference in this text, constitute provisions of the

43、poses of the present document, the following term and definition applies: mobile service: The term mobile service is used for various telecommunication services when access via a PLMN is provided. NOTE: Since the purpose of the present document is to formulate definitions for QoS parameters, these d

44、efinitions are given in the main body of the text and are not repeated here. 3.2 Abbreviations For the purposes of the present document, the following abbreviations apply: GPRS General Packet Radio Service ISDN Integrated Services Digital Network NTP Network Termination Point PLMN Public Land Mobile

46、 later technologies. The parameters are end-user/customer and end-to-end orientated and are not intended to address the quality of interconnection services explicitly. Where test calls are made the numbers called may be chosen to include or exclude interconnection depending on the purposes of the te

47、sts. In many cases the provider of telecommunications services to the customer may depend on other providers for part of the service. An example is an international call where several service providers are normally involved. In such cases the provider of the service to the customer is responsible fo

48、r all elements for which it receives payment from the customer. In order to provide satisfactory QoS, this service provider will need to try to ensure that adequate QoS is provided by the other interconnected service providers. QoS figures for the responsible service provider will reflect both its o

49、wn capability and that of the interconnected service providers. 4.2 Use of the parameters Quality of service parameters are used for various purposes including: Specifying the level of quality of service in customer telecommunication service contracts or in the description or terms and conditions of the service. Comparing the quality of service of different service providers. Comparing the quality of service aspects of different service offers. Preparing long term studies on the quality of service aspects of a specific service. Care should be taken, however, o
