Enabling content aware QoE network bandwidth allocation

In recent years, online video has become more popular on the Internet with mobile terminal video traffic contributing 82% of cellular traffic. Users' sense of satisfaction with the network video business is usually measured by the indicator called “quality of experience”. Now HTTP adaptive streaming has become major method to deliver video traffic. However, TCP which is underlay protocol of HTTP is not particularly designed to deliver video streaming and it does not take video's QoE into consideration. In this paper, we build two optimal models to realize video rate allocation mechanism based on content aware QoE. The numerical results show that the models can be used to achieve MOS fair share or improve total MOS value compared with HTTP streaming.
