A method for mobile network testing is described wherein at least one testing device is used that is configured to be connected to a mobile network. A predefined set of test procedures is run on the at least one testing device in order to obtain test results assigned to at least one test parameter. The test results of the test procedures are evaluated via a machine learning model. The machine learning model is trained to predict output parameters assigned to the quality of a service based on the test results obtained. Further, a test system, a method for mobile network testing as well as a prediction system are described.

Embodiments of the present disclosure relate to a method for mobile network testing, a test system for mobile network testing as well as a prediction system for predicting output parameters assigned to the quality of at least one service.
Nowadays, telecommunication networks as well as network communication itself increase so that testing of mobile networks becomes more and more important. So far, operators have to run certain drive testing campaigns with special testing equipment in order to test the mobile network(s). The drive testing campaigns simulate the behavior of mobile subscribers within the mobile network(s) under test wherein the behavior relates to calls, web browsing and/or video playing.
While running the drive testing campaigns, the special testing equipment records network measurements wherein the data recorded is used to determine the quality of the network for certain services used within the network, in particular the quality of experience of the mobile subscribers with regard to the respective services used.
The foregoing aspects and many of the attendant advantages of the claimed subject matter will become more readily appreciated as the same become better understood by reference to the following detailed description, when taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, wherein:
FIG. 1 schematically shows a test system for a mobile network testing according to one or more embodiments of the present disclosure;
FIG. 2 shows a flowchart of a representative method for mobile network testing according to the present disclosure by using the test system of FIG. 1;
The detailed description set forth below in connection with the appended drawings, where like numerals reference like elements, is intended as a description of various embodiments of the disclosed subject matter and is not intended to represent the only embodiments. Each embodiment described in this disclosure is provided merely as an example or illustration and should not be construed as preferred or advantageous over other embodiments. The illustrative examples provided herein are not intended to be exhaustive or to limit the claimed subject matter to the precise forms disclosed.
In FIG. 1, a test system 10 for a mobile network testing is shown that comprises at least one testing device 12 as well as a processing unit 14 that is configured to run a machine learning model to be trained as will be described later with reference to FIG. 2. In the shown embodiment, the processing unit 14 is provided in a separately formed analyzing device 16.
The analyzing device 16, for example the processing unit 14, is connected to the at least one testing device 12, for instance via a wired or a wireless manner as indicated in the embodiment of FIG. 1, such that the processing unit 14 receives test results of a set of test procedures run on the at least one testing device 12 for obtaining information of the network under test to which the at least one testing device 12 is connected. The at least one testing device 12 is connected to the network under test via an appropriate network interface 18 provided by an antenna unit or a cable connection, for instance.
