Summary:Currently, Indonesia has just entered the 4G technology stage so that 5G technology will look very far away, although it cannot be denied that 5G technology will come whether Indonesia is ready or not, therefore this study was held to help describe the current condition of Indonesia's 4G network and is expected to provide input in determining steps and Indonesia's 5G roadmap going forward. This study aims to evaluate the quality of video streaming over the 4G LTE network based on the quality of experience parameters of RSRP, RSRQ and SNR of mobile operators. The walk-test measurement method was used for data collection (morning, evening, night). The performance evaluation results of 4G LTE mobile operators show that the weak value of the RSRP, RSRQ, and SNR values obtained at a point have experienced a decrease in signal strength, this is due to the propagation loss that occurs. The presence of buildings, trees, network density and weather cause propagation such as reflection, diffraction, and scattering. In addition, the distance from the transmitter to the receiver is also a factor that causes a decrease in the signal strength received from the user's device. Therefore, the results of the evaluation serve as a reference for further optimization actions to support the improvement of the 4G LTE network by service providers so that users experience satisfying 4G LTE network services.
