Abstract
A communication connectivity QoE testing device within a vehicle includes a network interface to communicate through a cabin network, a display device to display video to a passenger of the vehicle, a processor, and a memory storing code executed by the processor to perform operations. The operations include to send content requests to and receive content from a content server that is offboard the vehicle using the network interface, the cabin network, and a wireless communication modem communicatively connected to the content server through a ground-based network. The operations generate a QoE metric based on measurements of end-to-end communications of the content requests sent and the content received between the QoE testing device and the content server. The operations send a report based on the QoE metric through the network interface, the cabin network, and the wireless communication modem to a network node of an operations center for analysis.
