QoE Models for Online Video Streaming

Abstract

With the rising popularity of video streaming services, Quality of Experience (QoE) acts as the crucial role in improving user’s experience. Distinguished from Quality of Service (QoS), which mainly weigh the video streaming quality with network transmission performance, QoE focuses on the subjective and user-oriented assessment when users views the videos online. It is a vital issue for online streaming to ensure a user-satisfied transmission under dynamic network. This highlights the need for an accurate and feasible QoE model to balance the user experience and available transmission bandwidth. This paper summaries and analyzes existing explorations on QoE models for online video streaming, especially with the advancement on emerged learning-based models, to promote the development of this research field.
