Title
Network efficient resource management for mobile video streaming based on Quality of Experience
Abstract
This paper presents a novel experimental approach to quantify the performances of Quality of Experience (QoE)-aware resource management scheme in mobile network. The main goal of this paper is to improve network efficiency by exploiting knowledge of QoE information associated with online video streaming services. The investigations considered in the paper are performed using an innovative test-bed, developed to assess network efficiency for the provision of online video services of different qualities. The QoE model used in the proposed QoE-aware allocation scheme assumes a MOS-like grading function whose grades depend on both the duration of playtime interruption and the streaming video quality (resolution). The results show that the proposed resource management scheme can deliver more than 40 percent higher QoE to the users of the system as compared to current agnostic (not aware of QoE requirement and content characteristics) service models.
