UNOTest: An efficient traffic performance test platform in heterogeneous networks

Along with the rapid evolution of wireless communication standards, it poses great challenges on developing an efficient traffic performance test platform in heterogeneous network (HetNet) based on user-perceived experience. In this paper, we put forward a four-dimensional model theory and implemented the smart-phone based UNOTest platform for this purpose. We further carried on a large scale experiment within 2 months in 2 cities of China to study and analyzed the performance of HetNet including 3G, Wi-Fi and a trial TD-LTE network. Detailed case studies and analysis further reveal some insights in which operators or researchers would be interested.
