QoE for Mobile TV Services

Abstract

This chapter discusses the various issues that surround the development stage of mobile TV services. It highlights the importance of Quality of Experience (QoE), which is a shift in paradigm away from the widely studied Quality of Service (QoS). We discuss the factors affecting QoE and the types of assessment methods used to evaluate QoE. A QoE-layered model is presented with the aim of ensuring end-to-end user satisfaction. Using a case study, we develop a QoE management framework. We argue that gaining an understanding of users’ perceptions and their service quality expectations may assist in the development of QoE models that are user centric.
