Abstract
A mobile communication device is configured to evaluate the performance of a mobile wireless communication network. The device is configured for communication across the mobile wireless communication network, and executes a network evaluation application operative to measure a quality of communication services provided by the mobile wireless communication network. The network evaluation application retrieves communication parameters relating to communications of the mobile communication device across the mobile wireless communication network, and measures a throughput of communication packets transmitted or received by the network evaluation application across the mobile wireless communication network. In turn, the network evaluation application displays, on a display screen of the mobile communication device, the communication parameters retrieved from the debugging utility of the operating system and the measured throughput of communication packets across the mobile wireless communication network.
