A QoE-aware Quality Selection Controller for HTTP Adaptive Streaming

In this paper, we propose a quality of experience (QoE)-aware quality selection controller for HTTP adaptive streaming. The proposed method improves QoE by using two types of control: insertion of intermediate quality and suppression of quality switching. We implement the proposed method on dynamic adaptive streaming over HTTP (DASH) system and evaluate QoE. We show that the proposed method improves QoE by subjective evaluation using the scale of absolute category rating (ACR) method.
