Video Consumption in Context: Influence of Data Plan Consumption on QoE

Abstract

User expectations are one of the main factors on providing satisfactory QoE for streaming service providers. Measuring acceptability and annoyance of video content, therefore, provide a valuable insight when measured under a given context. In this ongoing work, we measure video QoE in terms of acceptability and annoyance for the remaining data in a mobile data plan context.. We show that simple logos can be used during the experiment to prompt the context to subjects and the different context levels may impact the user expectations and consequently their satisfactions. Finally, we show that objective metrics can be used to determine the acceptability and annoyance thresholds for a given context.
