Abstract: The invention relates to a method for determining a quality of service (QoS). A received signal strength indicator (RSSI) value associated with a downlink signal, a gain of a downlink power amplifier, and an increase in the RSSI value received by the mobile device associated with the downlink signal are determined. The QoS based on at least one of the RSSI value, the gain, and the increase in RSSI value received by the mobile device is determined and displayed to the user.
