Abstract

Performance requirements of a system are usually closely related to the quality of service provided by the system. The call success rate of a mobile communication system is, for example, directly linked with the quality of call service. Therefore, meeting the performance requirements is one of the critical issues during the operation of services as well as in system development. In this paper, we present a testing method for evaluating the call success rate of a mobile communication system by using interval estimation. Also we analyze the criterion used in the evaluation of the quality of 3G mobile communication services which was recently performed by Korea Communications Commission and then discuss the problems.

시스템의 성능 요구 사항은 일반적으로 해당 시스템이 제공하는 서비스의 품질과 높은 연관성을 가진다. 예를 들어 이동통신 시스템에서 통화 성공률은 서비스 품질과 직결되는 사항으로 매우 높은 중요도를 가지며 체계적인 성능 시험 방법이 요구되고 있다. 본 논문에서는 구간 추정 기법을 이용하여 이동통신 시스템의 통화 성공률을 시험하는 방안을 제안한다. 또한 제안된 시험 방안을 기반으로 방송통신위원회에서 최근 시행한 3G 이동전화 서비스 품질 평가에서 사용된 판정 기준에 대해 고찰해 보고 문제점에 대해 살펴본다.
