Abstract

Despite 5 revolutionary generations and 18 releases, automated measurement tools for cellular networks offer limited programmability and their integrated APIs remain difficult to reproduce. We demonstrate the challenges and solutions related to building web and mobile-based applications for continuous cellular networks data collection and analysis. This is shown in the form of an integrated suite of reliable, low-cost cloud-based data processing, querying and analysis software functions that domain experts and laypeople users can utilize to assess cellular networks' quality of service at street level.
