Abstract :
A mobile service consists of an application in a user terminal, wireless access networks and servers that provide chargeable content to the users. This paper proposes a novel method of estimating the latency times contributed by a mobile terminal, wireless network and content server to the total end-to-end mobile service response time experienced by end users. A mobile phone-based method of measurement is useful for service users, service developers, service providers and network operators in measuring the performance of mobile services using real telecommunication networks and terminals.
