Analysis of Quality of Experience (QoE) in Video Streaming Over Wi-Fi in Real Time

Abstract

Over the years, in wireless and mobile networks, video traffic is becoming more dominant. In order to assess the users’ satisfaction of the services, a measure has to be considered which depicts the delight or annoyance of the users’ experience with the services. Quality of Experience is one such measure which focuses on the experience of the users with the services delivered, unlike quality of service (QoS) which focuses on the media or network itself. In addition to video transmission, Quality of Experience introduces a user experience-driven strategy that focuses on the contextual and human factors. This is helpful because it expresses user experience both objectively and subjectively. Hence, in order enhance viewers’ experience, measuring the Quality of Experience of the services along with network and a system factor proves to be beneficial. We aim to analyze the Quality of Experience of users in the university. The data gives insight about the various parameters that affect transmission of video or any data in that regard. The quality of the transferred videos is assessed by the end users by rating their experience. We aim to provide objective and subjective measure of Quality of Experience by analyzing the factors affecting Quality of Experience and the users’ experience, respectively.
