Mechanisms for QoE optimisation of Video Traffic: A review paper
Main Article Content
Keywords
QoE, Video, Quality optimisation
Abstract
Transmission of video traffic over the Internet has grown exponentially in the past few years with no sign of waning. This increasing demand for video services has changed user expectation of quality. Various mechanisms have been proposed to optimise Quality of Experience (QoE) of end user's video. Studying these approaches are necessary for new methods to be proposed or combination of existing ones to be tailored. We discuss challenges facing the optimisation of QoE for video traffic in this paper. It surveys and classifies these mechanisms based on their functions. The limitation of each of them is identified and future directions are highlighted.
