Testing methodology
P3 measures smartphone voice and data performance based on extensive drive-tests ? from major metropolitan areas to smaller cities, roads and railways. These are complemented by walk-tests in big cities with a special focus on busy areas, on public transport and in frequently visited buildings, like shopping malls, train stations etc.
Voice services are tested by assessing smartphone-to-smartphone calls, including background data traffic in parallel. This scenario is a typical example of modern customer-usage patterns and helps stretch network capability to its limits. The success of the call set-up and termination is evaluated as well as the voice quality over the bi-directional audio channel.
Data services are tested by browsing the most popular web pages, by transferring files, and by playing HD (1080p) YouTube videos (two videos on demand and one live stream), using YouTube?s adaptive bitrate feature to adapt the resolution to the available network conditions. File transfer performance is evaluated on access success rate, stability and the data-transfer rate. For the YouTube tests interruptions are also reported. Further, an OTT-application is used to assess the availability of social media downloading a personal Facebook feed and uploading a photo.
