1 Throughput Throughput measures the number of bits transferred over the communication link over a definite amount of time. In the case of cellular network the data throughput may not be same at each interface; also it is a well known fact that the radio interface is the bottleneck. To get a more accurate value of the user experience in terms of throughput‚ it is highly desired to measure the value from the UE. But practically this may not be feasible as it requires sophisticated applications in
