QoS for wireless broadband access services in Malaysia In 2010 Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission considered mandatory standards on QoS for both fixed and wireless broadband services to promote user-confidence. Commission provided recommendations on mandatory standards for: !! Billing performance !! Complaint handling, and !! Network performance It also provided recommendations on requirements for better user experience: !! Requirement for service providers to improve network infrastructure to maintain QoS level as required, and !! Modify packages offered to subscribers with pricing commensurate to attainable QoS Following slide shows standards and measurements based on MCMCs recommendations.
Complaint handling
(Number of complaints received over one year period x 1,000) / Customer base at end of reporting period !Network latency: Roundtrip delay for traffic from user to MyIX based on minimum standard packet size of 32 bytes. !Throughput: Data successfully moved to and from MyIX. !Packet loss: Packets lost between user and MyIX.

Enforcement Service providers are required to: ! ! Maintain complete and accurate records of any billing complaints they receive which are to be reported to the commission every half year. Maintain reports on compliance with the above regulations. The Authority (SKMM) may conduct audits on these reports to confirm their accuracy as well as conduct testing of performance characteristics to ensure they are being met. Authority also required to undertake its own testing of networks in order to check for compliance, with results published every half year by region.

Enforcement ! Operators failing to comply with telecommunications QoS standards liable to pay financial penalty ranging from S$5,000 (US$4,000) to maximum of S$50,000 (US$40,000) for each instance of non-compliance. Authority (IDA) required to consider all relevant factors such as extent of impact of non-compliance, cause of non-compliance, efforts taken by service provider to meet QoS standards, and/or any challenges faced by service provider in meeting standards. Higher penalties may be imposed for serious failures and/or continuing or repeated breaches.

India
Enforcement It is possible for higher standards than those listed to be part of license requirements, in which case they supersede the listed standards. Service providers are required to: ! ! ! ! Measure service coverage through drive tests of cellular mobile telephone network at periodic intervals. Take remedial action to address problems related to coverage including interference, call dropping and voice quality revealed during these tests. Maintain records of tests and action taken in relation to any problems found in the tests. Provide these records to the Authority (TRAI) or its agents or representatives on demand.
27
India
Enforcement (cont.) TRAI has power to conduct drive tests of its own volition to determine whether service providers are complying with regulations. In cases where breaches are found, service providers are required to provide compliance report demonstrating how they intend to rectify the issues and expected timeframe. TRAI may conduct surveys of customers in order to determine level of compliance with certain forms of customer satisfaction, e.g. provision of services, billing performance, network reliability and availability. TRAI has power to impose financial penalties for the breach of network quality regulations of up to INR50,000 (US$900) for first offences and INR100,000 (US $1800) for second offences, and up to INR50,000 per breach of customer service quality regulations. Failure to provide compliance report can result in fine of up to INR5,000 (US$90) per day.

Bangladesh
Required standards for service Bangladesh utilises an alternative system to the other exemplar nations. QoS requirements are included in individual licenses rather than a blanket series of standards being applied nationwide. These requirements will normally include: !! !! !! !! !! !! Call set-up Success Rate, Call Drop Rate, Call Setup Time (in seconds), Channel Gain, Static Signal to Noise Ratio, and Mean Customer Opinion Score.
Authority (BTRC) can set the minimum standards which must be achieved and any other benchmarks or targets which it deems should be part of a specific license.
30
Bangladesh
Enforcement BTRC is empowered to issue enforcement orders to ensure compliance with provisions of the Telecommunications Act and, in appropriate cases, to impose administrative fines in relation to QoS under article 31(n) of the Act. BTRC requires operators to maintain records of their compliance with QoS standards and to submit reports for auditing. BTRC also conducts its own testing to monitor compliance with benchmarks and standards for QoS.

Conclusion
Different jurisdictions have different ways of measuring and enforcing QoS parameters. However, each market will commonly cover five key areas. Different standards and measures will apply for each area. Customer service !! Billing !! Complaints !! Customer resolution Quality of service !! Signal to noise !! Quality of voice Coverage !! Indoor coverage !! Outdoor coverage !! Roads, tunnels, etc. Connection !! Call connection !! Call completion !! Call set-up time !! Success rate Availability !! Network availability !! Service availability !! Network congestion !! Network downtime
