In this paper we analyse the previous (Quality of Services) and QoE(Quality of Experience) methods, and propose a high reliable network system framework and its service forwarding method that is able to provide seamless N-Screen services for proliferating disaster informations. The service satisfaction measurement, i.e., QoE, of contents consumers in N-screens services is going to be important the factor in disaster information proliferation because N-Screen services in the previous methods based on multi devices only focused on information transmission. The proposed system around these services is composed of a disaster information process framework for accepting user's service requirement, push service modules for minimizing the number of packets to be caused when carrying out the push service, and a push service controller for maximizing QoE measures. In order to provide a seamless N-Screen service on diverse screens, such as smartphone, PC, and big screen, we also have Open API(Application Programming Interface) functions. Through these results, we expect to evaluate QoS and QoE quality in the seamless N-Screen service.

In future, since the user experience plays a more and more important role in the development of today's communication systems, quality of experience (QoE) becomes a widely used metric, which reflects the subjective experience of end users for wireless service. In addition, the energy efficiency is an increasingly important problem with the explosive growth in the amount of wireless terminals and nodes. Hence, a QoE-aware energy efficiency maximization based joint user access selection and power allocation approach is proposed to solve the problem. We transform the joint allocation process to an optimization of energy efficiency by establishing an energy efficiency model, and then the optimization problem is solved by chaotic clone immune algorithm (CCIA). Numerical simulation results indicate that the proposed algorithm can efficiently and reliably improve the QoE and ensure high energy efficiency of networks.

본 논문에서는 주관적 3D quality of experience (QoE) 평가에 적합한 IACQE (Interactive Assistance Continuous Quality Evaluation) 방법을 제안한다. 이 방법은 크게 3D 평가 영상이 재생되는 디스플레이와 평가 도구사이의 device interaction, 평가 도구와 평가 참여자사이의 human interaction process로 구성된다. Device interaction process는 무선 네트워크 프로토콜 (WLAN and WiFi)을 통해 3D 디스플레를 동작시키는 서버와 평가 도구 사이의 정확한 동기화 및 평가결과 기록 등의 작업을 수행하며, human interaction process는 평가 도구로 사용하는 tablet-pc의 촉각, 시각, 청각적인 자극을 통해 기존의 주관적 3D QoE 평가에서 나타날 수 있는 문제점들을 최소화 한다.

In this paper we propose a resource management method which enables to guarantee the quality of experience (QoE) for handover in the overlaid macro-femtocell networks. How to cope with the resource demand of handover calls is necessary to efficiently support the movement of mobile terminals, the QoE degradation or the load control. We attempt to satisfy the QoE requirements of users and maximize the capacity of the system at the same time. In order to achieve this goal, this scheme divides the shared resources into two part for the movement of MT and QoE degradation, and allocates those resources with the competition between four types of handovers. Simulation results show that our scheme provides better performances than the conventional one with respect to the outage probability, data transmission throughput.

In this paper, we introduce a quality of experience (QoE)-provisioning mobility management scheme. The emphasis is on a mobility-aware QoE solution enabling network components to recognize the mobility pattern of an end-user and to prepare a handover in advance. We further focus on an energy-adaptive QoE solution based on the energy profile providing the preferred pattern of energy consumption and an energy preference check engine determining whether the provision of the service that the end-user requested is suitable to QoE or not. Lastly, we concentrate on a network-based intelligent mobility management scheme adopting the calm service and the balance. Consequently, we conclude that the proposed schemes improve the handover latency, QoE metrics, and energy efficiency simultaneously.

This paper addresses quality of experience(QoE) and how to measure and evaluate QoE including its subjective aspects. Adopting the real measurements on the field, a various quality metric have been measured for VoIP(voice over IP) service provided through a wireless interface of WiBro(Wireless Broadband). By analyzing the measured values and correlation between the metrics, we attempt to find a method to evaluate QoE of the VoIP service in a objective way. As a result, it has been shown that QoE of the VoIP service through WiBro network has close relation to the packet-level end-to-end delay, and the delay has close relation to received signal strength indicator(RSSI).

This paper proposes a novel resource allocation scheme which enables to guarantee the quality of experience (QoE) for handovers from femtocell to macrocell and vice versa, and between femtocells in the overlaid macro-femto networks. The proposed scheme guarantees QoE to a certain extent during handover by utilizing a fixed amount of radio resource reserved in advance for the dedicated use to support QoE. We take both the type of the handover and the temporal sensitiveness characteristics of user services into consideration in order to support QoE. Performance of our scheme is analyzed by simulation with respect to the outage probability and total throughput.

Recently, due to the prevalence of various mobile devices and broadband wireless networks, a significant interests and demands for multimedia streaming services over the Internet have been increasing. However, it is difficult to transmit continuous multimedia stream when mobile terminals are moving. Therefore, in order to deploy mobile IPTV service in the broadband wireless network, efficient wireless resource utilization and seamless QoE (Quality of Experience) offers to the users are an important issue. In this paper, we propose a network based adaptive streaming scheme, called MARC (Mobile Adaptive Rate Control), which controls the quality of the video and rate of the video based on the status of the wireless channel. The proposed scheme uses awareness information of the wireless channel status and controls transmitting streaming video which is suitable for the wireless channel status and mobile station location, in order to provide a seamless video playback for mobile environment in addition to improving the quality of a streaming service. The proposed MARC scheme alleviates the discontinuity of video playback and allocates suitable client buffer in broadband wireless network. Simulation results demonstrate the effectiveness of our proposed scheme.

Explosive deployment of smart mobile devices such as smart phones, and tablets along with expansion of wireless internet bandwidth have enabled the deployment of mobile video streaming such that video traffic becomes the most important service in wireless networks. Recently, for more efficient video streaming services, the ISO MPEG group standardized a protocol called DASH (Dynamic Adaptive Streaming over HTTP) and the standard has been quickly adopted by many service providers such as YouTube and Netflix. Despite of the convenience of mobile streaming services, users also suffer from low QoE(Quality of Experience) due to dynamic channel fluctuations and unnecessary downloading due to high churning rates. This paper proposes a noble efficient video rate selection algorithm considering user buffer level, channel condition and churning rate. Computer simulation based performance study showed that the proposed algorithm improved the QoE significantly compared to a method that determines the video rate based on current channel conditions. Especially, the proposed method reduced the rebuffering rate, one of the most important performance factors of the QoE, to a nonnegligible level.

This paper proposes a novel traffic and resource management scheme based on Service Level Agreement (SLA) which allows to guarantee the quality of experience (QoE) for various high-quality mobile multimedia service users to a certain level. For this purpose, QoE-SLA coupling structure is considered and a novel scheme is suggested to suppress the processing delay of the mobile terminal and to decrease the transfer delay in the transmission network. According to simulation results, our proposed scheme can increase the total throughput and decrease the average delay by adjusting SLA.
