This ETR replaces ETR 003 (1990) (Edition 1): “General aspects of quality of service and network performance in digital networks, including ISDN“, which shall be withdrawn by ETSI. ETRs are informative

12、 documents resulting from ETSI studies which are not appropriate for European Telecommunication Standard (ETS) or Interim European Telecommunication Standard (LETS) status. . An ETR may be used to publish material which is either of an informative nature, relating to the use or the application of ET

13、Ss or I-ETSs, or which is immature and not yet suitable for formal adoption as an ETS or an LETS. Introduction The Quality of Service (aos) is defined in a generic sense and definitions of four viewpoints are added. These viewpoints are the customers (or users) 00s requirements, 00s offered by the s

14、ervice or Network Provider (NP), QoS achieved by the service or NP and QoS perceived by the user or customer. Addition of these four viewpoints helps to deal with the QoS in a clearer manner. The relationships between the four viewpoints are shown. A methodology shows how the associated activities o

15、f the four viewpoints fit together. The progression of activities associated with the four 00s viewpoints (starting with the users/customers QoS) is termed the QoS cycle. Capture of users/customers QoS requirements is the starting point. An example framework to facilitate this capture is described i

16、n the annex. This framework may be used to ascertain the users/customers QoS requirements for any telecommunications service. This exercise is to allow service providers to plan future service offerings more in accordance with users/customers requirements. A brief description is given on the handlin

17、g of the principal activities associated with the 00s cycle. The ultimate aim is to facilitate the provision of a level of service as agreed between the user/customer and the service provider. m 3404583 0336654 349 m Page 7 ETR 003: October 1994 I Scope This second edition ETSI Technical Report (ETR

18、I: a) states the general aspects pertinent to Quality of Service (00s) and Network Performance (NP); b) states the relationship between the QoS and NP; and c) identifies the salient aspects of the principal stages in the management of 00s related to NP. The content of this ETR reflects the need to p

19、rovide a level of quality to be agreed by the user/customer and the service provider. 2 References This ETR incorporates by dated and undated reference, provisions from other publications.

24、1994 4 Quality of Service (aos) 4.1 Generic definition of QoS QoS defined in CCITT Recommendation E.800 i11 may be considered as the generic definition. It is reproduced below: “The collective effect of service performance which determine the degree of satisfaction of a user of the service“. 4.2 Par

25、ticular definitions of QoS In addition to the generic definition it is useful to define the various viewpoints of QoS. The purpose of recommendations relating to 00s and NP can then be more easily be focused if the different 00s viewpoints are defined. 4.2.1 QoS requirements of the user/cuatomer QoS

26、 requirements by the user/customer is the statement of the level of quality of a particular service required or preferred by the user/customer. The level of quality may be expressed by the ucer/customer in technical or non-technical language. A typical user/customer is not concerned with how a parti

27、cular service is provided, or with any of the aspects of the networks internal design, but only with the resulting end-to-end service quality. From the users/customers point of view, 00s is expressed by parameters that: - focus on user/customer-perceivable effects, rather than their causes within th

28、e network; - do not depend in their definition on assumptions about the internal design of the network; - take into account all aspects of the service from the users/customers point of view; - may be assured to a user/customer by the service providersl; - are described in network independent terms a

29、nd create a common language understandable by both the user/customer and the service provider. EXAMPLE: A user may state that the acceptable number of occasions when moderate difficulty in call clarity could be tolerated is once in one hundred calls. The service provider translates this requirement

30、into NP parameters and assign target values in the performance of the network elements to achieve the target of not more than 1 call in 100 experiencing moderate difficulty. 4.2.2 00s offered by service provider 00s offered by the service provider is a statement of the level of quality expected to b

31、e offered to the user/customer by the service provider. The level of quality is expressed by values assigned to 00s parameters. These parameters are usually designed to be understandable to the user/customer. Each service would have its own set of 00s parameters. EXAMPLE: A service provider may stat

32、e that the availability of basic telephony service is 99,9 % in a year with not more than a 15 minute break on any one occasion. = 3404583 O136656 111 = v 4 QoS Requirements A, Page 9 ETR 003: October 1994 -; 1 e- Criteria ?

33、 4.2.3 00s achieved by service provider QoS Perceived 00s achieved by the service provider is a statement of the level of quality achieved by the service provider. This is expressed by values assigned to parameters, which are, as far as possible, same as those for the QoS offered. These performance

34、figures are summarised for specified periods of time, e.g. for the previous 3 months. : Network i Performance : Measured QoS 4 7 Achieved EXAMPLE: The service provider may state that the achieved availability for a given duration (eng. one year) was 99,95 % or unavailable for 262,8 minutes . over a

35、365 day year. 4.2.4 QoS perceived by the userlcustomer QoS perceived by the user/customer is a statement expressing the level of quality experienced by them. The 00s perceived is expressed, usually in terms of degrees of satisfaction and not in technical terms. Technical terms may be expressed where

36、 the user/customer is able to understand and use these. QoS perceived is assessed by customer surveys and from users/customers own comments on levels of service. EXAMPLE: A user/customer may state that on unacceptable was difficulty in getting through the network to rating of 2 may be given on a 4 p

37、oint scale. 4.3 General comments number of occasions there make a call; a satisfaction Figure 1 shows how the various 00s viewpoints inter-relate with each other.

Relationship between QoS and NP I QoS criteria I Non network related Network related QoS criteria Network performance Target

39、- range parameters I or limit Parameter 1 Parameter 2 Parameter N Figure 2: Relationship between 00s and NP In figure 2, QoS is the starting point for the development of NP parameters and targets. NP parameters specified are chosen for the most effective operation of the network. An example of mappi

40、ng of 00s into NP is shown below: - QoS requirement for telephony: not more than x % of connections made to experience difficulty on the clarity of conversation; - . the NP requirements upon mapping may be stated as; parameters identified as contributing to call clarity: transmission loss, noise (im

41、pulsive and non impulsive), echo, delay, crosstalk, voice clipping, (and possibly others); - end-to-end target values for each parameter may be specified. The sum effect should result in not more than x % of calls experiencing difficulty in call clarity. Empirical relationships between values for th

42、e above parameters and the percentage of users/customers experiencing call clarity difficulty should be made available. From these relationships meaningful allocation of target values for individual parameters can be made so that not more than a specified percentage of users/customers are likely to

43、experience difficulty for call clarity. The parameter target values are then broken down to element performance. 8 Methodology for handling aspects of NP related to QoS 8.1 The basics of the methodology A methodology illustrated in figure 3 shows the key elements in the derivation of network perform

44、ance parameters from the 00s requirements of the userlcustomer and the subsequent management of NP. The principal activities on the part of the user/customer, service provider and the NP are separated by a dotted line. The users 00s requirements is the starting point. This is mapped to 00s offered p

45、arameters by the service provider. These are mapped to network and non-network related performance parameters. The network related parameters are mapped into NP parameters and target values are assigned. Planning documentation are derived from these. A set of monitoring systems keeps track of the de

46、sired performance. The achieved end-to-end QoS performance is derived from the measurements and combined with the non network related QoS. This is compared with the users/customers 00s perceived obtained, usually customer surveys. Corrective action is taken where necessary. - W 3404583 013bb59 920 W

48、s QoS requirements for any telecommunications service involves two steps. An example of a generic method is shown in annex A. In the first step a service-specific framework is derived by identifying the service specific criteria for the particular service under consideration. Capture and defining of

49、 userclcustomers 00s requirements In the second step the QoS requirements of the users/customers are ascertained. This is done by administering the service specific framework by an agency familiar with obtaining such information from the user/customer. The service specific framework is used as a template for the capture of the 00s requirements of the user/customer. It is important that the derivation of the service specific framework and the questionnaire is not too narrowly defined restricting users/customers expression
