By drawing on 30 years of experience, William C. Hardy explains how to examine specific tools and techniques that he has developed for the measurement and evaluation of QoS and understand the underlying analysis perspectives and methodologies.Details the basic concepts of QoS, together with the methodologies for organizing, structuring, and carrying out analyses of QoS from scratch.Describes the atttributes of the telecommunications service that determine user perception of quality in non-technical terms.Discusses specific measures, measurement techniques and evaluation criteria for all of the factors that affect user perception of QoS.Addresses user concerns including:* Will I be able to get to the service when I want to use it?* How long does it take before I know a connection is being set up?* How good will voice sound over a connection?* Includes valuable tips for QoS analysis and the perspectives vital for describing QoS in ways that are useful and operationally meaningful.Whether you have a limited technical background or are a telecommunications professional this simple and straightforward approach will be an essential tool to understanding QoS. 606 $aTelecommunication$xQuality control 606 $aTelecommunication$xCustomer services 606 $aTelecommunication systems$xEvaluation 606 $aTelecommunication$xQuality control 606 $aTelecommunication$xCustomer services 606 $aTelecommunication systems$xEvaluation 606 $aElectrical & Computer Engineering$2HILCC 606 $aEngineering & Applied Sciences$2HILCC 606 $aTelecommunications$2HILCC 608 $aElectronic books.$2lcsh 615 0$aTelecommunication$xQuality control. 615 0$aTelecommunication$xCustomer services. 615 0$aTelecommunication systems$xEvaluation. 615 0$aTelecommunication$xQuality control 615 0$aTelecommunication$xCustomer services 615 0$aTelecommunication systems$xEvaluation 615 7$aElectrical & Computer Engineering 615 7$aEngineering & Applied Sciences 615 7$aTelecommunications 676 $a384.043 700 $aHardy$b William C$0184396 712 02$aBooks24x7, Inc. 801 0$bCtWfDGI 801 1$bCtWfDGI 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910146963303321 996 $aQoS$91573117 997 $aUNINA
