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): Mobile data usage is growing globally year after year and predictions suggest a continuous increase in the near future.
Smartphones, devices which offer a set of popular services involving data connectivity, are one of the main motivators of that growth.
In this context, Mobile Network Operators (MNO) visualize the demand of data services by smartphone users as a market opportunity and are interested to deliver optimal Quality of Service (QoS) to their customers.
Measuring the performance of the network allows the MNOs to evaluate the offered QoS and compare it with their competitors.

The aim of this thesis was to study a measurement methodology that assessed rigorously the QoS of smartphone data services.
A crucial part of the methodology was to develop a set of Key Performance Indicators (KPls) for the most relevant smartphone data services, namely video streaming, web browsing, VoIP and file sharing.
These services were selected after an exhaustive study on smartphone usage trends.
The target was to use these KPls to measure quantitatively the QoS perceived by end-users for benchmarking purposes.
In addition, a guideline that contained the most important practical matters in order to plan a measurement campaign was suggested.
As a consequence, a case study was developed and executed with the intention of testing the validity of the KPls proposed.
In the case study, the network performance of two operators was measured using field testing and analysed.

The results of the measurements showed that the defined KPls give a comprehensive and appropriate view of service performance and quality.
Thus, the proposed KPls and measurement methods depict accurately the QoS of the network, which makes possible the identification of performance differences between MNOs.
