Service Quality Monitoring

Argela Service Quality Monitoring provides insight into customers' perceptions of service quality provided by the CSPs. With high level performance indicators and drill down capabilities for fixed and mobile services, evaluation of service quality and rich KPI reporting for each service in the portfolio are made possible. Argela Service Analytics provides end-to-end service visibility across all domains, providing a comprehensive view of service performance – spanning through all mobile (2G/ 3G/ 4G/5G/VoLTE), IMS/ NGN, Fixed (PSTN/ ISDN) networks.

Network data is collected in real-time via the use of passive probes that intersect interfaces between the different entities in each generation of the network. The collected data is enriched and correlated with a set of network parameters and/or demographic information. Then the data is analyzed with proven algorithms to provide valuable insights about the service quality. End-to-end fail analysis is provided for each and every service quality analysis. This enhanced end-to-end fail analysis provides a programmatic way of analyzing the services and pinpointing the service related failures without the need of node-by-node or protocol by protocol investigation.

VoLTE & VoWI-FI Analytics

Although mobile data is gaining importance, voice is still essential. A mobile number is still considered an individual’s or a business’s identity. There is still a need for a stable and a reliable real time communications service. That means, voice has taken a different shape from the legacy SS7 voice and now it has a different skin, but still a major service and income source for mobile operators. To cultivate more voice revenue, around the world, mobile operators are currently working to make VoLTE (Voice over LTE) available to as many of their subscribers.

In order to ensure VoLTE service quality an end-to-end monitoring solution with cross-domain visibility capabilities is essential. With such solution, the health of network elements and performance of their interactions with the other entities should be monitored closely along with the voice quality, device compatibility and location specific performance issues which are crucial to guarantee and maximize the customer satisfaction.

Argela VoLTE & VoWI-FI Service Analyzer performs end-to-end, real-time correlation among 2G/3G interfaces, LTE Access, LTE Core and IMS applications, provides real-time multi-dimensional KPIs and generates correlated CDRs with first fail information classified for interfaces present.

Argela VoLTE & VoWI-FI Service Analyzer offers end-to-end and multidimensional analysis of VoLTE and VoWı-FI services by monitoring LTE Access Network, WI-FI Access, and IMS Core Network. Voice User Plane quality is also evaluated via RTP/RTCP monitoring. Device model and brand based quality analysis and ranking is also provided in this applications.

It offers analysis from various point of views including geographic location and network equipment for all possible interconnection types, namely, IMS-to-IMS, IMS-to-CS, IMS-to-Local-IMS, IMS-to-Other-IMS and IMS-to-Other-Network. It generates alarms and informs the operator of the performance degradations.

Argela VoLTE & VoWI-FI Service Analyzer provides detailed analysis for the VoLTE/VoWiI-FI access, Registrations, Calls and SRVCC (VoLTE only) along with fail analysis for the problematic calls, registration and SRVCC procedures.

Audio quality analysis in the VoLTE/VoWI-FI call is done by measuring the statistical and distribution information for Uplink and Downlink Mean opinion score (MOS), packet loss and jitter. 

Beyond simply looking into performance metrics for geo-locations and network equipment, operators can also benefit from insight that extends into device-level analysis. This way, issues that are isolated to particular operating systems, manufacturers, or models, can be quickly identified and addressed. Argela VoLTE & VoWI-FI Service Analyzer provides the means to analyze the VoLTE & VoWI-FI service for all device brand and models available in the market for any registration, call or other VoLTE & VoWI-FI related problems.

CS Fall Back (CSFB) Analytics

CS Fallback (CSFB) is considered as one of the main methods to deliver voice service to LTE subscribers. It requires minimal software update at network and device side. Due to these advantages, it is an ideal method for the mobile operators to deliver voice service to LTE subscribers in the short-term with low cost. CSFB basically provides voice services to LTE subscribers by switching to overlapping legacy 2G/3G networks. In CSFB method during outgoing and incoming voice call setup in, signaling is done between LTE Core (EPC) and CS Core (2G/3G) for radio switch-over. SGs interface is introduced to enable CSFB between MSC and MME. 

To evaluate the quality and performance of CSFB service from the customer point of view by monitoring only one signaling interface is not possible. To measure the KQIs, which reflect the closest insight into the service quality, all the interfaces included in the CSFB service delivery should be monitored separately by CSFB related protocol probes. Moreover, XDRs generated by these different protocol probes should be correlated with each other to form end-to-end, enhanced and subscriber-centric KPIs/KQIs.

Argela CSFB Analytics is developed to overcome these challenges. It evaluates and presents the CSFB service quality by multi-domain, multi-protocol monitoring and real-time multi-protocol correlation along with CSFB related device performance metrics.

Application and OTT Analytics

Applications, Social Media and video trigger huge increase in internet traffic. Related technologies such as Cloud Services, IoT and 5G transformation are fundamental for mobile and fix networks. CSPs should not only enhance their network infrastructure for greater speed but also for quality of service (QoS). The service degradations on popular applications, social media services or OTTs greatly affect the customer experience. Hence, not only the network but also applications and OTTs should be analyzed and monitored closely. 

Argela Application and OTT Analytics provides deep insights into applications and OTT traffic for the telecom operators with intelligence on Data Activity by Application, Application Category and Protocol. It identifies problems while accessing popular applications with detailed information on OTT traffic volume and TCP metrics along with detailed throughput analysis. 

Drill-down from application to application category, application category to application, and time drill down for application, application category and protocol options are provided for geographic locations up to cell level, network equipment, devices or APNs.

Streaming Analytics

The internet traffic is mainly driven by video streaming services. The quality of the video streaming service is crucial for CSPs. Streaming Analytics first identifies the streaming services, provides high level KPIs for the networks and then enables drilldown by application and service details. It allows further analyses for a location, network equipment or device, for various or all network types

Most of the streaming services use encrypted data. The quality analysis of the encrypted video requires AI&ML algorithms apart from domain specific algorithms. Identification of encrypted video related problems through AI & ML to provide better visibility to network even for encrypted data is outmost important. 

Various Streaming Service KPI/KQI details are provided with possibility of performing fail analysis and access to the relevant XDRs.
