Research on monitoring quality of 3G streaming media service

In order to effectively monitor the application of the network performance and service quality, rapidly response users´ needs and complaints, telecom operators find that the demands for service quality are in an urgent case. According to the requirement analysis on quality monitoring for streaming media service, together with the characteristics of stream media transport protocol, this paper introduced a methodology for the monitoring data of 3G streaming media services. These data included objective QoS indicator and subjective QoE indicator. The measurement for testing process involved a handheld client terminal and some network probes. Using this detection system, we achieve the quality monitoring for streaming media service and also the judgment for fault points in the network.
