Abstract:
IP video traffic is the dominant traffic of all consumer Internet traffic today and will expand rapidly in the near future. Enhancing a customer’s experience, or Quality of Experience (QoE) is key to the success of delivering of IP video services, such as video call, video streaming and online video gaming over the Internet. This talk is about how to develop innovative control and management schemes to enhance QoE for video streaming services (e.g. YouTube and Netflix). It will start with an introduction on QoE, including what is QoE and how to manage QoE. Then it will go through some of Dr. Sun’s research projects on the QoE management for adaptive video streaming services over the Internet, utilising the Software Defined Networking (SDN). At the end, Dr Sun will share her thoughts on the challenges and future directions on QoE related research, and the research beyond QoE.
