Reliability Comparisons Of Mobile Network Operators: An Experimental Case Study From A Crowdsourced Dataset, Engi̇n Zeydan, Ahmet Yildirim

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences

It is of great interest for Mobile Network Operators (MNOs) to know how well their network infrastructure performance behaves in different geographical regions of their operating country compared to their horizontal competitors. However, traditional network monitoring and measurement methods of network infrastructure use limited numbers of measurement points that are insufficient for detailed analysis and expensive to scale using an internal workforce. On the other hand, the abundance of crowdsourced content can engender various unforeseen opportunities for MNOs to cope with this scaling problem. This paper investigates end-to-end reliability and packet loss (PL) performance comparisons of MNOs using a previously …
