Data collected during field work


a) MOS (Mean Opinion Score) - Audio quality index for an end-to-end call. Average values were obtained for each call and at each terminal involved.

b) Routed Calls - Telephone calls successfully established by the network and between the two terminals in question (?the call reached the called terminal?).

c) Non-routed Calls - Telephone calls not established by the network between the two terminals in question (?the call did not reach the called terminal?).

d) Calls Abandoned During Conversation - Telephone calls successfully set up by the network but abandoned during the conversation phase.

e) Calls with Normal Release - Telephone calls successfully set up by the network and which ended as expected.

f) Reasons Why Calls Were Abandoned - Situations leading to call abandonment: no service, congestion, radio link failure, other.

g) Level of RSSI (Received Signal Strength Indication, in dBm) Signal - Indication of the signal strength received by the mobile terminal.

h) Geographic Co-ordinates - Correspond to the places where measurements were made.
