Method and system for measuring the performance based on the WIFI in smart media

Abstract

The study developed a Wi-Fi performance measurement (measurement of download and upload speeds, delay time, and the Web page loading speed) system and measurement software for smart phones. The measuring of Wi-Fi performance in smart phones is important not only upload and download speeds, but also a loading speed of Web pages for end users; hence, the study included a method for measuring a Web page loading speed as well as its procedures. We expect the study result will provide detailed criteria for quality management, e.g. a quality index and criteria about the Wi-Fi service on the smart phone platform in order to be utilized as an objective standard for service development of operators, and service quality in operation and user environment. In addition, the study will be able to organize a fair, objective, and quality-improved environment by building trustworthy quality measurement S/W and systems, including quality-related policy support and conditions, such as smart phone-based SLA (Service Level Agreement). © 2012 Springer Science+Business Media.
