A Parametric QoE Video Quality Estimator for Wireless Networks

Authors

Abstract

As Wireless Mesh Networks (WMNs) have been increasingly deployed, the need of new quality measurement schemes became essential since operators want to control and optimize their network resources, while keeping users of multimedia applications with a good quality level. However, currently WMN an in-service assessment scheme fails in capturing subjective aspects of multimedia content related to the user perception. Therefore, this paper proposes an on-the-fly parametric video quality estimator approach (called HyQoE) for real-time video streaming applications. Moreover, performance evaluation results present the benefits and accuracy of HyQoE in predicting the user perception compared to well know subjective, objective and hybrid methods in a WMNs scenario.
