Abstract

User-subjective experience and personalized preference play a very important role in QoE. In this chapter, we intend to develop personalized QoE management by considering the user preference. The proposed personalized QoE model integrates objective QoS parameters and subjective user preference to evaluate user QoE and thus a more reasonable QoE assessment is achieved. Then, the personalized QoE model is applied to the sequential resource allocation and a more specialized and refined management scheme can be attained. For both conventional and personalized resource allocation schemes, numerical simulations are conducted to present the effectiveness of the proposed algorithms.
