USER QUALITY OF EXPERIENCE ASSESSMENT IN RADIO ACCESS NETWORKS

User quality of experience assessment in radio access networks is provided herein. A method can include measuring an average packet size of incoming data packets received via a radio access network, the incoming data packets respectively comprising data directed to respective network equipment served via the radio access network; determining service metrics for outgoing data packets transmitted via the radio access network to the respective network equipment in response to the incoming data packets being received via the radio access network, wherein the service metrics comprise an average transmission delay for the outgoing data packets and a packet loss rate for the outgoing data packets; and determining a quality of experience value associated with a performance of the radio access network based on a function of the average packet size of the incoming data packets and the service metrics for the outgoing data packets.
