Multiple Framework QoE Model based Energy Efficient Transmission Strategy in LTE Networks

Wireless technology is continuously evolving, and the development of new versions of adaptive protocols and mechanisms are at their peak to achieve high performance in network-based applications and services. LTE networks offer broadband wireless access to users who can benefit from high data rate applications such as video streaming. However, the high energy consumption of these applications has not been considered. The end user quality of experience (QoE) of video delivery over a radio network is mainly influenced by the radio parameters in the radio access network. This paper will present a multiple framework QoE model for video delivery over LTE, denoted as MQoE that measures the overall perceived quality of mobile video delivery from subjective user experience and objective system performance. We propose a QoE-based energy efficient mechanism to reduce smartphones’ power consumption. We have done a series of experiments to verify the efficiency of this model. Experiment results show that MQoE has significant improvement at energy efficiency
