White Paper on Crowdsourced Network and QoE Measurements -- Definitions, Use Cases and Challenges

This white paper is the outcome of the W\"urzburg seminar on "Crowdsourced Network and QoE Measurements" which took place from 25-26 September 2019 in W\"urzburg, Germany. International experts were invited from industry and academia. They are well known in their communities, having different backgrounds in crowdsourcing, mobile networks, network measurements, network performance, Quality of Service (QoS), and Quality of Experience (QoE). The discussions in the seminar focused on how crowdsourcing will support vendors, operators, and regulators to determine the Quality of Experience in new 5G networks that enable various new applications and network architectures. As a result of the discussions, the need for a white paper manifested, with the goal of providing a scientific discussion of the terms "crowdsourced network measurements" and "crowdsourced QoE measurements", describing relevant use cases for such crowdsourced data, and its underlying challenges. During the seminar, those main topics were identified, intensively discussed in break-out groups, and brought back into the plenum several times. The outcome of the seminar is this white paper at hand which is - to our knowledge - the first one covering the topic of crowdsourced network and QoE measurements.
