Abstract
This paper presents a methodology for evaluating the quality of service provided by a cellular network for background services, such as e-mail and text messaging. Data collected from drive testing were used as the means to evaluate different drive routes on a Universal Mobile Telecommunications System (UMTS) network. Although one type of cellular network was tested, this methodology may be readily adapted to fit other types of cellular networks.
