Welcome to the movement project code repository.

This repository hosts the outcomes of project MOVEMENT, a project developing open source extensions and experiments for the EU H2020 MONROE Platform, as part of Open Call 1. MOVEMENT is carried out by Feron Technologies P.C. and COSMOTE/OTE Group. The repository contains a set of sub-projects/experiments for measuring the quality of live or experimental mobile data networks (3G/4G/4G+) including support for WiFi technologies. These experiments may be executed either at remote MONROE nodes or locally at any linux-based host equipped with mobile broadband devices (e.g. Wi-Fi/4G USB dongle, Mi-Fi, etc.).

List of software extensions

• Mobile network benchmarking based on widely-used data testing applications:
  • Ping
  • iperf3 (direct, reverse)
  • Speedtest by Ookla
  • HTTP file transfer (upload/download)
  • Video streaming on demand using the open-source VLC player (Youtube or private video files)
• VoIP testing and quality evaluation using open-source tools:
  • Asterisk VoIP Server
  • Linphone VoIP Client
• WiFi/Offloading experiments:
  • Test WiFi quality
  • 4G Offloading through Wi-Fi

Except for the primary software tools shown above we also provide two additional extensions helping MONROE experimenters to:

• Control experiments using a Smartphone application and an MQTT-based messaging framework;
• Perform automated mobile-to-mobile VoLTE test call and analysis using VoLTE-enabled smartphones.

Repository Structure

• benchmarking : software extensions for data and video testing
  • bench-node : the client applications (loaded in MONROE nodes)
  • bench-server : the server-side applications needed to perform the client tests (dockerized for easy deployment)
• voip : software extensions for voice-over-IP testing
  • voip-node : the client application loaded in MONROE nodes
  • voip-server : the server-side applications needed to perform the client tests (dockerized for easy deployment)
• wifi-offloading : software extensions related to wifi testing
  • monroeap : Preparation of a docker image for enabling MONROE node to operate as WiFi Access Point and 4G/WiFi router
  • zte : 4G/WiFi offloading tests using the ZTE MF-910 MiFi devices of MONROE hardware v1.
• tools: other extensions not belonging to the above categories
  • android-experiment-manager: MQTT-based framework to easily control MONROE experimentation process (configure, initiate, monitor, store results) using a smartphone app.
  • volte-testing: scripts for automatically performing mobile-to-mobile VoLTE test calls in VoLTE-enabled smartphones and analyze recorded audio samples.
