EVALUATION OF THE QOS OF A MOBILE NETWORK BY MARKOV MODELING

Abstract

Assessing the quality of the mobile network, whether 2G, 3G, 4G or 5G, in a specific area by measuring throughput, network coverage, bandwidth, by a mobile operator is of paramount importance to ensure a high-quality user experience. A summary of the network quality dynamics in a travel area is necessary for decision makers and in developing mobile network dependent applications for users. This paper therefore proposes a Markov model as a mathematical solution to predict the network evolution by probability laws that summarise the dynamics of network qualities in a travel area. The Markov model has thus allowed to evaluate the qualities of the network dynamics and to summarize the dynamics by transition laws and dwell times in the different network qualities in a travel area. A result that leads to decisions on the quality of the networks and suggested application adapted to the network environment.
