An individual-indicator QoE model with test samples and methods for mobile streaming services on smaller size handheld devices

Abstract

Benefiting from their real-time performance, the QoE of streaming services on mobile Internet are commonly paid close attention to. In this paper, we proposed a novel QoE model with test samples and methods for video streaming service on mobile internet. This model consists of two key points: one is a whole QoE structure composing of some individual video streaming QoE indicators and their parameter ranges adapted to the mobile Internet environment and smaller-size handheld terminals, the other one is the procedure of test samples generation and the subjective assessments based on the proposed QoE model. Experimental results from the subjective assessment using our test samples and assessment methods show that unique user perception results in the situation of small and moving terminals and good mapping between QoE and QoS indicators can be obtained, providing useful reference to service providers such as China Mobile.
