  • Patent number: 10237767
    Abstract: A method and score management node for supporting service evaluation of a service delivered by means of a telecommunication network. The score management node receives network measurements (v) related to at least one service event when the service is delivered to the user, and calculates a quality score Q for each received network measurement by applying a predefined scoring algorithm Q(v) on the network measurement. After identifying, among the calculated quality scores, quality scores Q which are related to a specific service session experienced by the user, the score management node determines a total session-specific quality score for the specific service session based on the identified quality scores Q. The determined total session-specific quality score can then be used for evaluation of the delivered service.

  • Patent number: 10002338
    Abstract: A method and score management node for supporting service evaluation by obtaining a perception score P reflecting a user's experience of a service delivered by means of a telecommunication network. The score management node receives network measurements related to service events when the service is delivered to the user. For each received network measurement, the score management node determines a quality score Q reflecting the user's perception of quality of service delivery by applying a first function on the network measurement, and determines an associated significance S reflecting the user's perception of importance of service delivery by applying a second function on the network measurement. The first and second functions are dependent on network measurement type. The perception score P is then calculated based on the determined quality scores Q and associated significances S, wherein the calculated perception score P is made available for use in the service evaluation.

  • Publication number: 20160225038
    Abstract: A method and a score management node for supporting service evaluation by obtaining a perception score reflecting an individual user's experience of a service delivered by means of a telecommunication network. When receiving network measurements related to service events when the service is delivered to the user, the score management node determines, for each service event, a quality score reflecting the user's perception of quality of service delivery and an associated significance reflecting the user's perception of importance of the service delivery, based on the network measurements. The significance is reduced over time according to a Significance Reduction Rate, SRR, reflecting the user's fading memory of the service events, and the perception score is calculated as an average of the quality scores weighted by their associated significances, wherein the calculated perception score is made available for use in the service evaluation.

  • Publication number: 20160224986
    Abstract: A method and a score management node for supporting service evaluation by obtaining a perception score reflecting a user's experience of one or more services delivered by a telecommunication network. The score management node receives a network measurement related to a current service event of service delivery to the user within a predefined time length from a previous service event, and determines a correlation level reflecting the user's perception of the current service event as correlated with the previous service event. A quality score is determined for the current service event, reflecting the user's perception of quality of service delivery and an associated significance reflecting the user's perception of importance of service delivery, based on the network measurement and the correlation level. The perception score is then calculated for the current service event as the quality score weighted by the associated significance and is made available for the service evaluation.

  • Publication number: 20160224924
    Abstract: A score management node identifies characteristics of a user, defines a user profile for the user which user profile comprises at least one predefined user group that matches the identified user characteristics, and sets user-specific model parameters based on the defined user profile wherein the user-specific model parameters are valid for the at least one user group in the user profile. When receiving network measurements related to service events when the service is delivered to the user, the score management node determines a quality score reflecting the user's perception of quality of service delivery and an associated significance reflecting the user's perception of importance of each service delivery, by applying the user-specific model parameters on each network measurement. The score management node then calculates the perception score based on the quality scores and associated significances, wherein the calculated perception score is made available for the service evaluation.
