Procedure to measure of the data transmission speed in LTE mobile networks

The methodology specifies a procedure for measuring of data transmission speed for the assessment of compliance with the conditions proscribed for holders of licenses for usage frequencies in the 800, 1800 and 2600 MHz bands, for the operation of mobile systems according to the LTE standard. The achievement of specified data transmission speed is a key parameter for evaluating the coverage of the Czech Republic mobile signal for the LTE standard systems. The methodology allows to the Czech telecommunication regulatory body (Czech Telecommunication Office - CTO), telecommunications operators and end users unambiguous determination of values of speed of data transmission in mobile networks in accordance with standard LTE. The methodology treats the issue comprehensively and specifies in initial conditions of measurement, measurement procedures (both for stationary measurement and in motion measurement) and related calculations. The team of authors from the Czech Technical University in Prague created a substantial part of the described methodology.
