Towards QoE-aware adaptive video streaming

This paper describes a novel QoE-aware adaptive video streaming method that enhances the viewing experience on mobile devices and reduces cellular network bandwidth consumed by Dynamic Adaptive Streaming over HTTP (DASH) by considering perceptual video quality and data rate channel conditions in the bitrate adaptation process. By streaming an optimized video for the particular video quality and channel conditions to a mobile device, we can improve the worst video qualities caused by DASH streaming and reduce quality variations using fewer number of bits.
