25 tedious, and poses several challenges. The present disclosure simplifies the
network planning process by automating and integrating all the necessary components. With the present disclosure, radio engineers are provided with all the inputs required for planning in less time and obtain an optimal list of sites/cells.
14

[0053] The present disclosure serves the purpose of evaluating health of a
cellular site (also referred as a network site or a cell site) using a mobile application
(application interface). The system and method is configured to detect Network
Cell Information (NCI) /Cell ID/ physical cell ID (PCI) corresponding to a cell site
5 in telecom network. Generally, in telecom when a user (network operator) wants
to perform any speed/Video/Web performance/Trace route test on any particular
site/cell, the present disclosure provides a facility to the user to initiate the
accessing performance test when the NCI/Cell ID/PCI connected with user device
is matched with the NCI/Cell ID/PCI corresponding to the cell site in the network.
10 The user can measure all required parameters like uplink, download link, latency
corresponding to the network site (detected using NCI/Cell ID/PCI), thereby enabling the user to perform extended test (like Video and Web performance test) on given cell site.
[0054] The various embodiments throughout the disclosure will be
15 explained in more detail with reference to FIG. 1- FIG. 5.
[0055] FIG. 1 illustrates an exemplary architecture 100 of a system (102)
for assessing performance of cellular sites, in accordance with embodiments of the present disclosure. In an example, the system is configured to evaluate health of a cell site using a mobile application or an interface application.
20 [0056] Referring to FIG. 1 the network architecture 100 is implemented for
enabling speed test of internet connection using the interface application (mobile application). In an embodiment, the system (102) is connected to a network 104, which is further connected to at least one computing devices 108-1, 108-2, … 108-N (collectively referred as computing device 108, herein) associated with one or
25 more users 110-1, 110-2, … 110-N (collectively referred as user (110), herein).
The computing device 108 may be personal computers, laptops, tablets, wristwatch, or any custom-built computing device integrated within a modern diagnostic machine that can connect to a network as an IoT (Internet of Things) device. In an embodiment, the computing device 108 may also be referred to as
15

User Equipment (UE) or user device. Accordingly, the terms “computing device”
and “User Equipment” may be used interchangeably throughout the disclosure. In
an aspect, the user (110) is a network operator or a field engineer. Further, the
network 104 can be configured with a centralized server 106 that stores compiled
5 data.
[0057] In an embodiment, the system (102) may receive at least one input
data from the user (110) via the at least one computing devices 108. In an aspect, the user (110) may be configured to initiate a test sequence for executing a plurality of performance tests on a cellular site, through an application interface of a mobile
10 application installed in the computing devices 108. The mobile application may be
configured to communicate with the network analysis server. In some examples, the mobile application may be a software or a mobile application from an application distribution platform. Examples of application distribution platforms include the App Store for iOS provided by Apple, Inc., Play Store for Android OS
15 provided by Google Inc., and such application distribution platforms.In an
embodiment, the computing device 108 may transmit the at least one captured data packet over a point-to-point or point-to-multipoint communication channel or network 104 to the system (102).
[0058] In an embodiment, the computing device 108 may involve
20 collection, analysis, and sharing of data received from the system (102) via the
network 104.
[0059] In an exemplary embodiment, the network 104 may include, but not
be limited to, at least a portion of one or more networks having one or more nodes
that transmit, receive, forward, generate, buffer, store, route, switch, process, or a
25 combination thereof, etc. one or more messages, packets, signals, waves, voltage
or current levels, some combination thereof, or so forth. In an exemplary embodiment, the network 104 may include, but not be limited to, a wireless network, a wired network, an internet, an intranet, a public network, a private network, a packet-switched network, a circuit-switched network, an ad hoc
16

network, an infrastructure network, a Public-Switched Telephone Network (PSTN), a cable network, a cellular network, a satellite network, a fiber optic network, or some combination thereof.
[0060] A layout of the output end of the system (102) is described, as it may
5 be implemented. The system (102) can be configured to enable common solution
for mobile and web, download speed, upload speed, ping test, server selection, and data sharing.
[0061] In an embodiment, the system (102) is configured to retrieve a
location of the user (110) and based on the retrieve location, system (102) is
10 configured to detect at least one parameter associated with the cellular site. In an
aspect, the at least one parameter Network Cell Information (NCI) /Cell ID/ physical cell ID (PCI). Generally, in telecom when the user (110) wants to perform any speed/Video/Web performance/Trace route test on any particular site/cell. On detecting at least one parameter associated with the cellular site, the
15 system is further configured to initiate the assessment of the network
automatically, thereby providing a facility to the user (110) to initiate a test when the desired NCI/Cell ID/PCI connected with user device. The user (110) can measure all required parameters like uplink, download link, and latency on that NCI/Cell ID/PCI; by using this feature, the user (110) can perform extended tests
20 on a given site like (Video and Web performance tests).
[0062] The interface application is installed on the computing device.
Further, the interface application is helpful in site commissioning process, where
the user (110) (site engineer) needs to perform speed test, Video and Web and
Traceroute test on any particular network cell having a particular NCI /Cell ID
25 /PCI value.
[0063] In an embodiment, the system (102) checks the performance of sites
with different tests (like Speed test, video test, web performance test and traceroute) using the interface application. Further, the system (102) enhances the capability of the user (110) to connect on dedicated sites for real time observation.
17

The system provides Ad -Hoc and work order-based test on sites. In the Ad-hoc
test, the user (110) is able to select the desired value of site parameters, and when
this value matches the site’s parameter, the interface application provides a facility
to perform a test on the selected Cell ID/NCI ID/PCI. In the Work Order with
5 automation (work order-based test), an admin can configure site details on which
the user (110) needs to perform the test. When a site engineer visits the network
site and a predefined configure value matches the site's parameters, the interface
application provides the facility to perform the test. In Automation process, the
admin can define/set the range of any KPI. If after executed test, result matched
10 with the define KPI, then the interface application considers executed test is Passed
and if value did not match with the predefined KPI values, then the interface application shows the executed test is failed. For example, Table 1 depicts an approximate range of the Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) and its status.

KPI Range Status
Latency 0 to 25 ms Pass
Latency > 25 ms Fail
Download Speed >50 Mbps Pass
Download Speed <50 Mbps Fail
Upload Speed > 25 Mbps Pass
Upload Speed <25 Mbps Fail
Table 1
15 [0064] Further, the system (102) provides accuracy of field engineer for
correct site commissioned. The system (102) provides an automatic process of detecting Cell ID /NCI/PCI and verifying it from a backend database, which is an automatic solution with predefined criteria of deciding whether network site
18

considered to be pass or fail. The system (102) helps the field engineer to take perform speed test on desire site test after deploying site installation on the field.
[0065] In an embodiment, the system (102) provides accuracy by matching
exact values of PCI/NCI/Cell ID in the interface application with PCI/NCI/Cell ID
5 values predefined in backend for that site. Hence, the system (102) avoids manual
intervention of the field engineer. If the automatic detection of the network site is failed, in such scenario, a manual latching/locking to the network site is provided where the user (110) can latch to required Cell ID /NCI /PCI based on the user’s location.
10 [0066] When an output is received after the execution of the test, the user
(110) can understand speed of the network predicated by the system (102), as well as take steps to prevent further degradation of speed of the network based on suggested recommendations.
[0067] In an embodiment, the network 104 is further configured with a
15 centralized server 106 including a database, where all output (executed tests) is
stored. The results can be retrieved whenever there is a need to generate a trend
representing changes in the KPIs in future. By generating the trends(s), the user
can identify one or more trends and one or more performance improvement KPIs
over time. This analysis helps in better understanding the overall performance of
20 the network being tested and also helps in identifying areas that need improvement.
The historical data serves as a baseline for comparison and helps in identifying any deviation from the expected performance. By monitoring these trends and KPIs over time, the user can identify patterns and make informed decisions to improve the system's overall performance.
25 [0068] Although FIG. 1 shows exemplary components of the network
architecture 100, in other embodiments, the network architecture 100 may include fewer components, different components, differently arranged components, or additional functional components than depicted in FIG. 1. Additionally, or alternatively, one or more components of the network architecture 100 may
19

perform functions described as being performed by one or more other components of the network architecture 100.
[0069] FIG. 2 illustrates an exemplary micro service-based architecture 200
of the system (102), in accordance with embodiments of the present disclosure.
5 [0070] FIG. 2 with reference to FIG. 1, illustrates an exemplary
representation of the system (102) for enabling speed test of internet connection using the mobile application, in accordance with an embodiment of the present disclosure.
[0071] The system (102) includes one or more processor(s) (202), a memory
10 (204), a processing engine (208), a database (218), and an interface(s) (206). In an
exemplary embodiment, the processing engine (208) may include one or more
engines selected from any of a data acquisition module 210, a verification module
212, a GPS module 214, and other modules 216 having functions that may include
but are not limited to testing, storage, and peripheral functions, such as wireless
15 communication unit for remote operation, audio unit for alerts and the like.
[0072] The one or more processor(s) (202) is configured to initiate a test
sequence through the application interface of the user device. In an embodiment, the application interface is configured to execute a plurality of performance tests on the cellular site.
20 [0073] The GPS module (214) is configured to provide a location of the user
device. In an example, the global positioning system (GPS) module is configured to generate coordinates with respect to the location of the user device. The one or more processor(s) 202 may be implemented as one or more microprocessors, microcomputers, microcontrollers, edge or fog microcontrollers, digital signal
25 processors, central processing units, logic circuitries, and/or any devices that
process data based on operational instructions. Among other capabilities, the one or more processor(s) 202 may be configured to fetch and execute computer-readable instructions stored in the memory 204 of the system (102). The memory
20

204 may be configured to store one or more computer-readable instructions or
routines in a non-transitory computer readable storage medium, which may be
fetched and executed to create or share data packets over a network service. The
memory 204 may comprise any non-transitory storage device including, for
5 example, volatile memory such as Random Access Memory (RAM), or non-
volatile memory such as Erasable Programmable Read-Only Memory (EPROM), flash memory, and the like.
[0074] The interface(s) (206) is included within the system (102) to serve
as a medium for data exchange, configured to facilitates user interaction with the
10 mobile application and the execution of performance tests. The interface(s) (206)
may be composed of interfaces for data input and output devices, storage devices, and the like, providing a communication pathway for the various components of the system (102).
[0075] The interface(s) 206 may comprise a variety of interfaces, for
15 example, interfaces for data input and output devices, referred to as I/O devices,
storage devices, and the like. The interface(s) 206 may facilitate communication
to/from the system (102). The interface(s) 206 may also provide a communication
pathway for one or more components of the system (102). Examples of such
components include but are not limited to, the processing unit/engine(s) (208) and
20 the database 218.
[0076] The processing engine (208), encompassing the data acquisition
module 210, is the component that handles the matching of site location identifiers
with the device-measured identifiers. An example includes using the mobile
application to scan a QR code at the cellular site, which contains the NCI/Cell
25 ID/PCI information. The data acquisition module (210) is configured to select at
least one site location identifier associated with the user device based on the location of the user device and is further configured to determine whether the at least one selected site location identifier matches with a set of device-measured identifiers at a particular location. In an embodiment, the at least one selected site
21

location identifier is selected from a group consisting of an NCI ((NR Cell Identity), a Cell ID, and a PCI (Physical Cell ID).
[0077] The data acquisition module 210 then compares the scanned
information with the identifiers within the mobile device to confirm a match. The
5 processing engine (208) is configured to execute at least one performance test in
response to a match of site location identifiers and device-measured identifiers. In an embodiment, the at least one performance test is selected from the group consisting of a speed test, a video test, a web performance test, and a traceroute test. In an embodiment, the GPS module is further configured to verify whether
10 the user device is in proximity to the cellular site corresponding to the at least one
matched site location identifier. The GPS module (214) utilizes satellite-based positioning to ascertain the precise location of the mobile application relative to the cellular site. In an aspect, the data acquisition module is further configured to periodically fetch and update the site location identifiers from the database and
15 synchronize, in real-time, the site location identifiers with the device-measured
identifiers to facilitate immediate test execution upon matching.
[0078] In an embodiment, the processing unit/engine(s) (208) may be
implemented as a combination of hardware and programming (for example, programmable instructions) to implement one or more functionalities of the
20 processing engine(s) (208). In examples described herein, such combinations of
hardware and programming may be implemented in several different ways. For example, the programming for the processing engine(s) (208) may be processor-executable instructions stored on a non-transitory machine-readable storage medium and the hardware for the processing engine(s) (208) may comprise a
25 processing resource (for example, one or more processors), to execute such
instructions. In the present examples, the machine-readable storage medium may store instructions that, when executed by the processing resource, implement the processing engine(s) (208). In such examples, the system (102) may comprise the machine-readable storage medium storing the instructions and the processing
30 resource to execute the instructions, or the machine-readable storage medium may
22

be separate but accessible to the system (102) and the processing resource. In other examples, the processing engine(s) (208) may be implemented by electronic circuitry.
[0079] The processing engine (208), via the verification module (212), is
5 configured to compare test results obtained from the at least one executed
performance test against a predefined range of a plurality of Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) stored within a database (218). The plurality of KPIs includes latency, download speed, upload speed, reference signal received power (RSRP), and signal-to-interference-plus-noise ratio (SINR). The one or more processor(s)
10 (202) is further configured to determine, based on the comparison by the
verification module (212), whether the at least one executed performance test meets the predefined range of the plurality of KPIs. The processing engine is configured to determine the performance of the cellular site based on the executed at least one performance test by comparing test results obtained from the at least
15 one executed performance test against a predefined range of a plurality of Key
Performance Indicators (KPIs) stored within the database. In an example, the determined performance of the cellular site includes a pass status and a fail status. The pass status indicates that the test results obtained from the at least one executed performance test lie in the predefined range of the plurality of KPIs. The fail status
20 indicates that the test results obtained from at least one executed performance test
lie outside the predefined range of the plurality of KPIs. For example, for the latency test, the test result (for example, the latency KPI) obtained from the executed latency test is a value of 60 ms. In an aspect, the predefined range of the latency KPI is 0-50 ms. In an example, the predefined range may be a configurable
25 range. Other exemplary predefined ranges not disclosed are contemplated herein.
When the test result of the executed latency test is 60 ms, the determined performance result will fail, as it lies beyond the predefined range. For example, if the test result obtained from the executed latency test shows a value of 32 ms, then the test result obtained from the executed latency test lies within the predefined
30 range; therefore, the determined performance result will be passed.
23

[0080] The system (102) is configured to display an error message on the
application interface of the user device (110). The interface(s) (206) is configured
to reperform the at least one performance test if the test results of the at least one
executed performance test do not meet the predefined range of the plurality of KPIs
5 (the determined performance is the fail status). If the determined performance is
the pass status, the test results obtained from the at least one executed performance test is displayed on the application interface of the user device.
[0081] The one or more processor(s) (202) are further configured to refresh
the application interface at a predefined interval to ensure updated matching of the
10 site location identifiers with the device-measured identifiers.
[0082] In an embodiment, the processing engine is further configured to
automatically record the test results for each performance test executed in the
database. The processing engine is further configured to compare the automatically
recorded test results (new updated result) with historical data stored in the database
15 to determine at least one of one or more trends and one or more performance
improvement KPIs over time. In an aspect, based upon the determined trends, the network operator may be configured to calculate site and resource utilization and further plan the resources according to the determined trends in an efficient way.
[0083] In an embodiment, the database (218) is configured for serving as a
20 centralized repository for storing and retrieving various operational data, including
but not limited to the predefined KPIs, historical test results, and site location
identifiers. The database (218) is designed to interact seamlessly with other
components of the system (102), such as the data acquisition module (210) and the
verification module (212), to support the system's functionality effectively. The
25 database 218 may store data that may be either stored or generated as a result of
functionalities implemented by any of the components of the processor 202 or the processing engines (208). In an embodiment, the database 218 may be separate from the system (102).
24

[0084] In an embodiment, the one or more processor(s) (202) are further
configured to refresh the application interface at a predefined interval to ensure
updated matching of the site location identifiers with the device-measured
identifiers and trigger a test reperform option in the application interface if the test
5 results do not meet the predefined range of the plurality of KPIs.
[0085] In an embodiment, the interface(s) (206) is further configured to
display real-time updates of the test execution status and results and enable notifications for the field engineer regarding the status of the matching process and the availability of the test execution option.
10 [0086] The data acquisition module (210) is configured to periodically fetch
and update the site location identifiers from the database (218) to ensure that the test execution conditions are accurate and up-to-date.
[0087] The verification module (212) is integrated into the processing
engine (208) and is configured to compare the results obtained from the executed
15 performance tests against a range of predefined Key Performance Indicators
(KPIs) stored within a database (218). The verification module (212) is configured for automatically recording the test results for each performance test executed. The verification module (212) also compares these results with historical data stored in the database (218), enabling the system (102) to determine trends and performance
20 improvements over time. This comparative analysis is vital for continuous
improvement and quality assurance in cellular site performance. The KPIs encompass metrics such as latency, download speed, upload speed, reference signal received power (RSRP), and signal-to-interference-plus-noise ratio (SINR), critical for assessing the performance of the cellular site.
25 [0088] In one embodiment, the one or more processor(s) (202) are also
configured to refresh the mobile application interface at predefined intervals, ensuring that the site location identifiers are consistently updated to match with the device-measured identifiers. This mechanism is crucial for maintaining the
25

accuracy and reliability of the performance tests conducted by the mobile application.
[0089] In one aspect, the interface(s) (206) also includes a user interaction
element within the mobile application, which is configured to enable the reperform
5 the one or more performance tests if the initial test results do not align with the
predefined KPIs. This feature ensures that the system (102) can dynamically respond to test outcomes, allowing field engineers to take immediate corrective actions when necessary.
[0090] In one aspect, the interface(s) (206) further enhance the user
10 experience by providing the application interface that displays real-time updates
of the test execution status and results. Additionally, the interface(s) (206) enable the system (102) to provide notifications to the field engineer about the status of the matching process and the availability of the test execution options.
[0091] FIG. 3 illustrates an exemplary flow diagram of a method 300 for
15 assessing performance or evaluating health of the cellular site using the mobile
application (application interface), in accordance with embodiments of the present disclosure.
[0092] At step 302, the one or more processor(s) (202) is configured to
initiate a test sequence, through an application interface of the user device for
20 executing a plurality of performance tests on the cellular site. In an operative
aspect, when the field engineer visits a place for measuring a performance of the cellular site, then using the application interface installed in the user device (computing device), he starts the method for assessing performance or evaluating health of the cellular site.
25 [0093] At step 304, the one or more processor(s) (202) is configured to
determine whether location sharing is enabled by the user (110). If the location sharing is disabled on the user device, then the one or more processor(s) (202) is configured to disable a test for assessing performance or evaluating health of the
26

cellular site (step 306). In an aspect, the one or more processor(s) (202) is
configured to display a notification to the user (110) for enabling the location
sharing for performing the performance test. If location sharing is enabled, the
global positioning system (GPS) module is configured to provide a location of the
5 user device (step 308). In an example, the global positioning system (GPS) module
is configured to generate coordinates with respect to the location of the user device.
[0094] At step 310, the data acquisition module selects at least one site
location identifier associated with the user device based on the location of the user device. For example, after receiving the coordinates of the location of the user
10 device the data acquisition module is configured to search the cellular site
corresponding to the received coordinates. The data acquisition module is further configured to select the at least one site location identifier corresponding to the cellular site. In an example, the at least one selected site location identifier is selected from a group consisting of an NCI ((NR Cell Identity), a Cell ID, and a
15 PCI (Physical Cell ID).
[0095] At step 312, the data acquisition module is configured to determine
whether the at least one selected site location identifier matches with a set of device-measured identifiers at a particular location. In an example, the value of cell associated with the user device is 1 (having SMC (Small Modular Cell) id= 1)
20 and it is matched with a cell ID 112 (as shown in FIG. 4B). Then the application
interface asked the user to perform the test. If the network associated with the set of device-measured identifiers did not match with any at least one selected site location identifier, then the application interface may be configured to display a message on the screen saying that “network is not connected with the provided cell
25 ID, kindly move around” (as shown in FIG. 4A).
[0096] At step 314, the processing engine is configured to execute at least
one performance test in response to a match of site location identifiers and device-measured identifiers. For example, the at least one performance test is selected from the group consisting of a speed test, a video test, a web performance test, and
27

a traceroute test. In an example, the application interface is configured to display
a list of the performance test(s). During the speed test, the system (102) measures
the speed of an internet connection, providing insights into the download and
upload speeds as well as latency. The speed test is crucial for identifying potential
5 issues in the connection, helping users optimize their internet performance. During
the video test, the system (102) assesses the capability of an internet connection to smoothly stream video content. The results of the video test give the user (110) an indication of their connection's ability to handle streaming services, ensuring a seamless and enjoyable multimedia experience. During the web performance tests,
10 the system (102) evaluates the efficiency of a website's loading speed and overall
performance. The web performance tests analyze various factors, including server response time, render-blocking resources, and image optimization. During the traceroute test, the system (102) maps the route that data packets take from the source to a destination, revealing the latency and response times at each
15 intermediate point.
[0097] At step 316, the one or more processor(s) (202) is configured to
determine a performance of the cellular site based on the executed at least one performance test by comparing test results obtained from the at least one executed performance test against a predefined range of a plurality of Key Performance
20 Indicators (KPIs) stored within a database. The plurality of KPIs includes latency,
download speed, upload speed, reference signal received power (RSRP), and signal-to-interference-plus-noise ratio (SINR). The determined performance of the cellular site includes a pass status and a fail status. The pass status indicates that the test results obtained from the at least one executed performance test lies in the
25 predefined range of the plurality of KPIs. The fail status indicates that the test
results obtained from the at least one executed performance test lies outside the predefined range of the plurality of KPIs.
[0098] At step 318, the one or more processor(s) (202) is configured to
display an error message on the application interface of the user device and
28

reperforming the at least one performance test if the determined performance is the fail status.
[0099] At step 320, the one or more processor(s) (202) is configured to
display the test results obtained from the at least one executed performance test on
5 the application interface of the user device if the determined performance is the
pass status.
[00100] At step 322, the one or more processor(s) (202) is configured to
display automatically recording the test results for each performance test executed
and comparing the automatically recorded test results with historical data stored in
10 the database to determine at least one of one or more trends and one or more
performance improvement KPIs over time.
[00101] The method further includes a step of refreshing the application
interface at a predefined interval to ensure updated matching of the site location identifiers with the device-measured identifiers.
15 [00102] The method further includes a step of periodically fetching and
updating the site location identifiers from the database. The method includes synchronizing, in real-time, the site location identifiers with the device-measured identifiers to facilitate immediate test execution upon matching.
[00103] In an operative aspect, the field engineer visits the location, and it is
20 determined that whether the location is enabled or not on the user device. If the
location is enabled, the site commissioning process measures DL UL, latency, and
network parameters when NCI /Cell ID /PCI values of the site location and device
measured NCI /Cell ID /PCI value at a particular location are matched. Upon
matching, the test is performed. The test includes a speed test, a video test, a web
25 performance test, a traceroute test, and the like. To match with the site’s NCI/Cell
ID/PCI, screen will keep on refreshing itself after a pre-defined interval, for example, every 5 minutes. After click on perform icon test will be initiated and captured all KPI. After test successfully executed this result matched with expected
29

result. If result not matched user (110) will get “Re-performed” button. Test result
data is stored in a database. The data will be aggregated and method of evaluating
sites is performed. After the aggregation, the based on the evaluation result, the
system (102) determines whether the site “passed” or “failed” the test. The results
5 are then displayed on the application installed on the user’s equipment, initiating
the process cycle again.
[00104] If the value of NCI/ Cell ID/ PCI of the user device has not matched
with the identifiers of the cellular site, then also the test performing functionality is disabled.
10 [00105] FIGS. 4A-4D illustrate an exemplary user interface representing
health of a cell site using the mobile application, in accordance with embodiments of the present disclosure.
[00106] In an embodiment, FIGS. 4A-4D disclose a user interface
representing the speed test of the internet connection. FIG 4A is a representation
15 400 of a failure of the test, due to connection failure. FIG 4B is a representation
410 of connecting to the cell ID and checking the site health by the mobile application. FIG 4C is a representation 420 of an output of the successful speed test 1. FIG 4D is a representation 430 of an output of the successful speed test 2.
[00107] In an exemplary embodiment, the present disclosure discloses a user
20 equipment which is configured to assess performance of cellular sites. The user
equipment includes a processor, and a computer readable storage medium storing
programming instructions for execution by the processor. Under the programming
instructions, the processor is configured to initiate a test sequence through an
application interface of the user equipment (UE) for executing a plurality of
25 performance tests on a cellular site. The processor is configured to receive a
location of the user equipment (UE) from a global positioning system (GPS) module. The processor is configured to select at least one site location identifier associated with the user device based on the location of the user equipment and is further configured to determine whether the at least one selected site location
30

identifier matches with a set of equipment-measured identifiers at a particular
location. The processor is configured to execute at least one performance test in
response to a match of site location identifiers and equipment-measured identifiers.
The processor is configured to determine a performance of a cellular site based on
5 the executed at least one performance test by comparing test results obtained from
the at least one executed performance test against a predefined range of a plurality of Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) stored within a database. The plurality of KPIs includes latency, download speed, upload speed, reference signal received power (RSRP), and signal-to-interference-plus-noise ratio (SINR).
10 [00108] In an aspect, the determined performance of the cellular site includes
a pass status and a fail status. The pass status indicates that the test results obtained from the at least one executed performance test lies in the predefined range of the plurality of KPIs. The fail status indicates that the test results obtained from the at least one executed performance test lies outside the predefined range of the
15 plurality of KPIs.
[00109] In an aspect, the user equipment is configured to display an error
message on the application interface of the user device and reperform the at least one performance test if the determined performance is the fail status.
[00110] In an aspect, the user equipment is configured to display the test
20 results obtained from the at least one executed performance test on the application
interface of the user device if the determined performance is the pass status.
[00111] In an aspect, the processor is further configured to refresh the
application interface at a predefined interval to ensure updated matching of the site location identifiers with the device-measured identifiers.
