Qoe Performance Evaluation Of Youtube Video Streaming In Mobile Broadband Networks

In this paper, a performance evaluation of the Quality-of-Experience (QoE) of YouTube video streaming in mobile broadband networks with active measurements is described. The measurements were collected from a field experiment campaign using the MONROE platform which provides probes in four European countries and enables the benchmarking of three mobile broadband operators. Firstly, we present a framework for the automated collection and processing of the measurements, and then, we analyze the results to identify the cache allocation policy per operator. Additionally, we examine whether the selected cache server has an effect on the delivered video quality and present the results using standardised objective methods for the estimation of the perceived quality.
