Abstract

Due to the difficulties on approximating the human perception with algorithms, increasing the user’s Quality of Experience (QoE) in modern video services is a challenging task. But more than that, prior to estimating QoE, it is important to know how different types of network impairments actually affect the video quality. This paper takes a closer look at the relation between the network quality of service (QoS) and the video QoE degradation. Using a sophisticated network emulation environment, we benchmark a range of video types and video quality levels under controlled network conditions. Our analysis shows that, along with a number of expected situations come also some counterintuitive QoS-to-QoE conditions. We discuss ways in which a better understanding of the mutual influence between networks and video streams could lead to more efficient utilization of the Internet.
