Abstract
Quality of Experience is the most preferred parameter
for all the end users, in mobile environment, and it
matters more than Quality of service, because it is the
individuals own experience. Users perception of QoS is
an important consideration for service providers,
network operators, and equipment manufacturers and
also to the research community, to ensure customer
satisfaction and business growth. In this paper we
propose an agent based Q0S provisioning mechanism for
next generation mobile networks, especially the Long
Term Evolution (LTE) network, to assess end user
perceived experience. In our model the user interface
agent present in the terminal device, monitors QoS
parameters, periodically and assesses the user experience
and forwards these inputs to the On Demand Service
Decision maker (OSDM), which in turn provides an
optimal solution. Mobility of users at different velocities
(5kph, 30kph, 60kph and 120kph has been simulated
through NS2, with JADE platform. Performance analysis
of NGMN in terms of QoS parameters such as packet
loss, delay, jitter and throughput has been carried out
with and with out the QoS monitoring agents and the
results demonstrate better performance with the
application of agents.
Keywords: Quality of Experience, Quality of Service, Long
Term Evolution, Next Generation Mobile Networks, On
Demand Service Decision Maker, QoS Monitoring and
JADE Platform.
I.INTRODUCTION
Next generation Mobile Networks evolution is driven by not
only new hardware and software development but also the
hectic day to day human activities even on the move,
resulting in a total mobile community. They use smart phones
for all personal communication needs and to maintain
ubiquitous connections to corporate/enterprise networks at

task. The class of QoS and Guaranteed Bit Rate (GBR) are
significantly dependent on the level of latency, jitter, and
dropped packets experienced by the users. Without QoS
implementation, subscribers will experience choppy videos,
and echoes and also delays, resulting in poor quality. The
class of QoS and Guaranteed Bit Rate (GBR) are
significantly dependent on the level of latency (delays in
packet transmission), jitter (variation in latency), and dropped
packets experienced. Without QoS implementation,
subscribers will experience choppy videos, and echoes and
also delays, resulting in poor quality. As discussed earlier, the
eNodeB, MAC Scheduler is responsible for providing Radio
Bearer QoS over the LTE air interface. A QoS-aware MAC
Scheduler should support GBR and Non-GBR bearers, in
both the downlink and uplink transmissions. Due to the non
standardization of scheduling algorithms in LTE Networks,
implementation decision is left to the vendors to balance
QoS, fairness and technical complexity. Latency, jitter and
Packet loss are the critical parameters that play an important
part in ensuring quality of services; we explain them in detail
for clear understanding, in the succeeding paragraphs.

B. EarliestDeadlineFirst
This class is used in QoS for creating and using the
deadline. This class mainly contains the following methods
EarliesDeadlineFirst ( ), reprioritize ( ), pthread_serschedprio
( ).etc.
C. QoSQueue:
This class contains all the QoS parameters and main
methods in this class are QoSQueue ( ), scheduleTask ( ) and
run ( ).
D. QoS Packet Queue:
This class contains all the QoS Packet data in the
QoSPacketQueue. This class contains the methods like
QoSPacketQueue ( ), putMessage ( ), getMessage ( ).etc.
X. ONE WAY DELAY MEASUREMENT
To ensure the QoS of real-time applications such as
VoIP, telepresence and transactional services, one way delay
and delay variation (jitter) measurements are important as
SLAs specify these parameters. Typical SLA specifications
call for unidirectional jitter less than 1-5ms and latency in the
3-10 ms range, in both wire line and wireless networks for
4G (WiMAX / LTE). Service providers are opting for oneway measurements to assure their SLAs and monitor the
services, since round trip delay metrics often fail to identify
QoS issues in asymmetrical access networks .Since a roundtrip delay measurement aggregates send and receive path
delays, unidirectional issues can escape detection difficulties
