Abstract

The ever-increasing network traffic and user expectations at reduced cost make the delivery of high Quality of Experience (QoE) for multimedia services more vital than ever in the eyes of Internet Service Providers (ISPs). Real-time quality monitoring, with a focus on the user, has become essential as the first step in cost-effective provisioning of high quality services. With the recent changes in the perception of user privacy, the rising level of application-layer encryption and the introduction and deployment of virtualized networks, QoE monitoring solutions need to be adapted to the fast changing Internet landscape. In this contribution, we provide an overview of state-of-the-art quality monitoring models and probing technologies, and highlight the major challenges ISPs have to face when they want to ensure high service quality for their customers.

  • In [36] authors developed a predictive model for quality evaluation in IoT based solely on data gathered from a survey performed on the users of the application.

    “In [36] authors developed a predictive model for quality evaluation in IoT.The model is based on user experience from the IoT application.This model is solely based on data gathered from the survey performed on the users of the application.”

    From QoE in IoT: a vision, survey and future directions (2021) · cites this paper as [36]

    Section 3.4, “Virtual objects” (page unavailable), describes creating quality models for virtualized IoT services as a challenge, not a model the authors developed. The Conclusion (page unavailable) likewise says the major challenge lies in developing appropriate models. Neither passage describes a model built solely from a user survey. (LLM, conf=0.84)

    Checked by a reasoning model — may be wrong.

  • One recently evolving method for measuring the quality of multimedia content involves both subjective and objective evaluation to obtain the best of two methods.

    “One of the recently evolving methods for measuring the quality of multimedia content involves both subjective and objective evaluation to obtain the best of two methods [36].”

    From QoE in IoT: a vision, survey and future directions (2021) · cites this paper as [36]

    Section 2.2 (page unavailable) describes automated multimedia-quality models that estimate a value akin to a human observer’s rating, and §2.1 describes a shift toward predicting user-perceived quality. Neither passage says that a method combines subjective and objective evaluations to obtain the benefits of both. (LLM, conf=0.78)

    Experimental — accuracy not yet measured
  • Collected network-level Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) and user-level Key Quality Indicators (KQIs) provide inputs for QoE estimation models.

    “The collected network-level Key Performance Indicators (KPIs), e.g., throughput, packet loss, delay or user-level service/application specific Key Quality Indicators (KQIs), e.g., frame rate, video resolution, service usability, and reliability, provide inputs for QoE estimation models [48], [61].”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
