Instructions

Reading digital theses in the closed network of the Aalto University Harald Herlin Learning Centre

In the closed network of Learning Centre you can read digital and digitized theses not available in the open network.

The Learning Centre contact details and opening hours: https://learningcentre.aalto.fi/en/harald-herlin-learning-centre/

You can read theses on the Learning Centre customer computers, which are available on all floors.

Logging on to the customer computers

  • Aalto University staff members log on to the customer computer using the Aalto username and password.
  • Other customers log on using a shared username and password.

Opening a thesis

  • On the desktop of the customer computers, you will find an icon titled:

    Aalto Thesis Database

  • Click on the icon to search for and open the thesis you are looking for from Aaltodoc database. You can find the thesis file by clicking the link on the OEV or OEVS field.

Reading the thesis

  • You can either print the thesis or read it on the customer computer screen.
  • You cannot save the thesis file on a flash drive or email it.
  • You cannot copy text or images from the file.
  • You cannot edit the file.

Printing the thesis

  • You can print the thesis for your personal study or research use.
  • Aalto University students and staff members may print black-and-white prints on the PrintingPoint devices when using the computer with personal Aalto username and password. Color printing is possible using the printer u90203-psc3, which is located near the customer service. Color printing is subject to a charge to Aalto University students and staff members.
  • Other customers can use the printer u90203-psc3. All printing is subject to a charge to non-University members.

Abstract (eng): The purpose of this study is to identify and verify the necessary Quality of Service metrics in public networks for an existing remote patient monitoring system called Mobile Viewers.
Therefore, any abnormalities can be detected beforehand and the application quality can be seen from the end user's point of view.
The name “Mobile Viewers” refeto three different client applications: Web Viewers, Pocket Viewers and Cellular Viewers.

The literature part of this thesis reviews the former research studies dedicated to network performance measurements in 3G, 2.5G and Wireless LAN networks.
Based on the review, the most suitable measurement methods, tools, metrics and environments are selected to be utilised during this study.

In the first part of the thesis work, passive live measurement tests are executed within UMTS, GPRS, LAN and Wireless LAN networks in order to find out the delay, jitter and packet loss metrics for the individual Mobile Viewers.
As a result, GPRS presents the highest delay, jitter and packet loss values leading to poor application quality.

The second part of the thesis study focuses on identifying the quality requirements for Mobile Viewers.
Initially, a network emulator tool is employed to emulate the necessary delay, jitter and packet loss metrics in order to test the application quality under different network conditions.
Additional subjective user defined tests are executed to assess the quality for each viewer client.
Finally, the limit delay, packet loss and jitter values, where the application quality starts to degrade, are presented.

Additional future work may be carried out by observing the Mobile Viewers' performances with higher technologies for instance, HSDPA.
Furthermore, the conclusions derived from the analysis of the measurements and the proposed requirements for Mobile Viewers should be validated by additional experiments with different client devices, measurement tools and longer measurement periods.
