algorithm

A non-intrusive method for measuring the video

quality of IP networks

Based on IP parametric analysis of live traffic

January 21, 2013

Available parameters:
Video codec
Video frame rate
Video protocol
Video quality degradation due to
compression
Video quality MOS
Video quality MOS
degradatation
Video quality jitter
Video quality packet error rate
Video quality degradation due to
packet errors
Video quality type
Video preview can be seen
during the measurement

UE SCANNING AND MISSING NEIGHBOR DETECTION

Pilot and frequency scanning can be performed on Nokia terminals. Hence, there is no
need to use a separate fast frequency scanner to perform scanning and missing neighbor
detection on both GSM and WCDMA bands simultaneously, which adds to costeffectiveness and increases user convenience.

Missing neighbor detection using a

Nokia terminal no need for a
separate scanner to be used
simultaneously
Missing Neighbor Detection requires
that terminal & scanner be used
simultaneously. Both
GSM/WCDMA missing neighbors
can be detected simultaneously.

January 21, 2013

APPLICATION TESTING
Nemo Outdoor enables network operators to test their network using the same application
protocols as their customers and, therefore, provides results that correspond with the end-user
experience. The information provided by Nemo Outdoor assists in the verification and
troubleshooting of new services reducing the time-to-market.
