Abstract

This paper introduces a network access point (AP) control solution in the context of over-the-top (OTT) multimedia services. The solution is designed to provide network-level management mechanisms for packet traffic while using Quality of Experience (QoE) as a performance indicator. The results showed that with customer subscription scheme, traffic differentiation and QoE-driven management it is possible to both improve the perceived quality of multimedia traffic and increase the average revenue per user.
