Abstract: The invention comprises a system made up of at least 2 modules, shown in FIG. 3. The first module is located in the operating system layer of the mobile device (SMNS service module), and the other module is rolled out in a server belonging to the architecture of the mobile network operator (SMNS platform module). The main purpose of the invention is to generate a standard service shared by all the mobile devices. Integrating the SMNS service module reduces the standardization problems that manufacturers of this technology have encountered thus far. The fact that the same module with the same API is implemented in any operating system will make it much easier for social clients to migrate from one terminal to another. This standardization also affects the communication of social clients using the SMNS service since social clients (SC) can now exchange information even if they have been developed by different mobile software companies.

For this purpose, data from the monitoring of user services is used, along with questionnaires previously completed by a representative sample of users for subsequent combination by means of correlation algorithms, and after they have been put through automatic learning algorithms, obtaining a value for the quality of the experience, which implies an estimate of the quality of service perceived by the user of said service. Lastly, the network parameters that most affect the QoE as a function of the relevance thereof for predictions of quality are automatically identified in order to provide the values needed to attain a certain quality of experience as defined by the user.
