Abstract

This paper introduces an experimental testbed developed at the University of Malaga to analyze the behavior of mobile applications and services over LTE (Long Term Evolution) networks. The novelty of the testbed is the ability to correlate the impact of radio propagation issues on LTE configurations and applications protocols and cross tuning LTE parameters and IP protocols from the point of view of the quality perceived by end users. In this work we focus on the evaluation of VoIP services over LTE networks.
