Abstract:
A method for determining the quality achieved by different components in a mobile radio network, comprising:determining a quality parameter which consists of a binary value indicating the success or failure of a connection through base stations of the mobile radio network for every connection with a mobile device; statistically calculating, by a server in the mobile radio network, a mobile device quality indicator of a mobile device from the binary quality parameters of corresponding multiple connections associated with the mobile device, wherein the mobile device quality indicator of the mobile device is determined as the success rate computed based on the proportion of the number of successful connections to the number of attempted connections; and determining quality criteria according to a quantile of the distribution of the success rates of the mobile device and/or a predefined limiting value with respect to the success rate, wherein a user of a mobile device is informed when the mobile device quality indicator associated with the mobile device does not satisfy the quality criteria.
