System and Method for Determining Wireless Service Quality using Inference

A system that determines wireless service quality in a shared environment, the system comprising:

• a) a device configured to receive a wireless transmission from a client device in the shared environment;
• b) a processor in communication with the device, the processor configured to:
• i) process the received wireless transmission to determine a client modulation-and-coding scheme and a client device attribute associated with the client device;
• ii) calculate a rank of the client device using the client sample wherein the rank is based on a universal index that is related to the client modulation-and-coding scheme and to the client device attribute;
• and
• iii) infer a wireless service quality of the shared environment based on the calculated rank of the client device;
• and
• c) a controller in communication with the processor, the controller configured to receive the inferred wireless service quality and to determine at least one wireless test based on the inferred wireless service quality.
