Abstract

A computer-implemented system is disclosed for determining mobile data quality over a network. The system includes one or more processors configured to execute computer program steps, the computer program steps comprising: collecting data from a mobile device; and determining an optimal an available WIFI network or cellular network for data transmission.

Claims

1. A system for determining mobile data quality over a network, the system comprising:

at least one memory for storing computer-executable instructions; and

at least processor in communication with the at least one memory, wherein the processor is configured to execute the computer-executable instructions to;

collect data from a mobile device; and

determine an optimal WIFI or cellular network available to the mobile device for data transmission.

2. The system of claim 1 wherein the at least one processor is further configured to execute the computer-executable instructions to:

calculate instantaneous speed of data transmitted by the mobile device over a network.

3. The system of claim 1 wherein the at least one processor is further configured to execute the computer-executable instructions to:

calculate interference (SINR) values for WIFI networks available to the mobile device.

4. The system of claim 3 wherein the at least one processor is further configured to execute the computer-executable instructions to:

calculate a delay for each of the WIFI and/or cellular networks available to the mobile device.

5. The system of claim 4 wherein determining the optimal WIFI or cellular network comprises:

calculating an interference (SINR) threshold value;

removing a network available to the mobile device that has an interference (SINR) value that falls below the threshold value.

6. The system of claim 5 wherein determining the optimal WIFI or cellular network further comprises:

removing a network that is available to the mobile device that is unable to carry data required by the mobile device; and

7. The system of claim 5 wherein determining optimal network further comprises:

selecting networks with smallest delay.

8. The system of claim 2 wherein instantaneous speed is calculated using the following formula:

Instantaneous speed=(DataVolume2−

DataVolume1)/Interval1 whereby, DataVolume1 and DataVolume2 are volumes of data at the beginning and ending of an interval.

9. The system of claim 3 wherein the interference (SINR) is calculated using the following formula:

SINR=Signal Level (at connected WIFI)−

Signal Level of Total Interference.

10. The system of claim 1 wherein the cellular network is LTE, UMTS, CDMA, or GMTS.

11. The system of claim 1 wherein the at least one processor is further configured to execute the computer-executable instructions to:

receive data from a central server collected from a plurality of mobile devices.

12. The system of claim 1 wherein the at least one processor is further configured to execute the computer-executable instructions to:

transmit the collected data to a central server.

19. The system of claim 2 wherein the instantaneous speed is calculated for one or more applications.

13. A system for determining mobile data quality over a network, the system comprising:

at least one memory for storing computer-executable instructions; and

at least one processor in communication with the at least one memory, wherein the processor is configured to execute the computer-executable instructions to;

receive data collected from a mobile device; and

calculate the average speed of data transmitted over a network.

14. The system of claim 13 wherein the at least one processor is further configured to execute the computer-executable instructions to:

calculate interference (SINR) of a plurality of WIFI signals.

16. The system of claim 15 wherein the at least one processor is further configured to execute the computer-executable instructions to:

transmit data to the mobile device, the data including interference and/or load data associated with a plurality of mobile devices.

17. The system of claim 13 wherein the average speed of data is calculated using the following formula:

Average Speed=Σ

((DataVolume/Time)*DataVolumeφ

))/(Σ

DataVolume).

18. The system of claim 14 wherein the interference (SINR) is calculated using the following formula:

SINR=Signal Level (at connected WIFI)−

Signal Level of Total Interference.

20. A method for determining mobile data quality over a network, the method comprising:
