Abstract
For each connection in a mobile radio network, at least one quality parameter is determined. A server (6) in a mobile radio network (7) calculates at least one statistical quality indicator (pi.) from quality parameters of multiple connections of a user, as well as at least one quality criterion (G, Gi), which depends on a plurality of connections with different mobile devices (1).Based on the determined quality indicators, the server (6) decides which mobile devices (1) do not fulfil the quality criteria (G, Gi) and must be rated as critical. The user of a mobile device, which does not fulfil one or more established quality criteria, is informed by means of an indication in his telephone bill.The quality parameters are determined in the base stations (2) of the mobile radio network (7) and collected in said server (6).The method may also be applied to the determination of the quality of components of the infrastructure, for example base stations (2).
