6inACTION PRELIMINARY QOE TESTING

• QoE testing KPI set on static and mobile locations – SUT response time

– SUT service speed

– SUT service availability

• Drive test [100 kmph] – Up to 1000 times faster data rate performance: from 9 kbit/s (TETRA) to 7.1 Mbit/s (HSPA)

– Data service response time up to 20 time faster: 1s (TETRA) to 50 ms (HSPA)

6inACTION Road Map

• Phase 0 – Professional and commercial system convergence by principles of reasonable effort

– IoT-driven situation surveillance and intervention management services

• Phase 1 – QoS enabled mobile systems (HSPA/LTE) with preemption capabilities for emergency services

– Using dedicated QoS enabled bearers and preemption support on HSPA/LTE radio

• Phase 2 – Integrating compact LTE/EPC mobile system with ad-hoc setup capabilities

– Advanced IoT with user safety and life functions monitoring features integrating sensor networks (e.g., forest heat map)

Beyond 6inACTION

• Fixed communications (commercial and professional) have converged – Ethernet transport and IP as intelligent network layer

• Mobile system (commercial and professional) will converge – LTE transport and IP as intelligent network layer

• There is still space for different wireless technologies • WiFi, 6lowPAN, Bluetooth,...

…but there can be just on network layer
