1. A method for determining quality of service for a communication network, the method comprising:

  • determining at least two metrics reflective of network parameters in at least two different protocol layers of the communication network, wherein one of the at least two metrics is based on a signal received by a receiver, and wherein the at least two metrics include metrics respectively representing an application layer and a path quality monitoring of a communication path from a terminal to a termination;

    using a processor for comparing the at least two metrics with respective threshold values, wherein one of the respective threshold values is based on a data rate of an access point of the network and a sensitivity of the receiver; and

    determining quality of service for the network based on the comparison of the at least two metrics with the respective threshold values.
