Abstract

The arrival of the 5G network in Croatia encourages the increasing use of mobile networks in all areas of human life, including sports. To see the possibility of using mobile networks for recreation purposes, measurements of air interfaces of 4G and 5G mobile networks on 3 routes for recreation in the city of Zagreb were carried out. A detailed analysis of important radio parameters that are essential for high-quality data transmission between the base station and the user was made, as well as an analysis of the quality of the user experience (QoE) through two main parameters that are observed: the speed of user data transmission in the downlink (downlink bit rate) and the delay (latency, response) of the network. The measurement results for 4G and 5G mobile networks are compared. The possible ways of using mobile networks on the measured routes are listed considering the measurement results.
