The study of Quality of Service (QoS) is becoming increasingly important since QoS is considered equally important as network security. It is vital to offer sufficient QoS in services considered critical such as communications networks in emergencies, remote control of machinery, or in the future, to be able to perform remote operations thanks to technology such as 5G.
This thesis presents the study of QoS in mobile communication networks. The main objectives were to describe the most relevant theoretical aspects in 4G and 5G networks, the changes in the field of new developments, G-NetTrack Pro and Qosium, the two tools to perform QoS measurements in mobile networks and finally, to perform QoS measurements in a research environment. It was expected that from the results obtained; conclusions will be drawn about the tools used for future research projects in mobile communications.
The methodology consisted of measuring the performance of a 4G network by measuring the QoS delivered in two services with very different requirements. Measuring QoS in Voice Over Internet Protocol [VoIP] calls and measuring QoS in a video-streaming.
With the results obtained, it has been possible to observe the excellent performance of the network under various indoor and outdoor conditions, and it has been possible to apply the theoretical knowledge previously studied. Finally, the advantages and disadvantages of the tools used have been identified.
It is expected that this thesis will be useful for future projects of the research group 5GTNT measuring QoS with the described tools. In addition, the results and conclusions can also be used by third parties since the results and conclusions can be useful for research and industry environments.
