Abstract
In this article we investigate the effect of playout buffering control in haptic media, sound, and video transmission via QoE (Quality of Experience) assessment. We assess the operability of the haptic interface device, sound output quality, video output quality, inter-stream synchronization quality, and comprehensive quality. We also evaluate the application-level QoS (Quality of Service), and demonstrate that, with high accuracy, it is possible to estimate QoE parameters from QoS parameters.

QoE assessment in tele-operation with 3D video and haptic media
ICME '11: Proceedings of the 2011 IEEE International Conference on Multimedia and ExpoIn this paper, we investigate the influence of network delay on the quality of experience (QoE) for a tele-operation system with 3D (i.e., stereoscopic) video and haptic media. We assess the video output quality, operability of the haptic interface ...
QoE assessment model for multimedia streaming services using QoS parameters
This paper proposes a video QoE (Quality of Experience) assessment model which can assess video quality of experience with only QoS (Quality of Service) parameters and their relative importance at network layer. Since network or service providers can ...
A study on a QoS/QoE correlation model for QoE evaluation on IPTV service
ICACT'10: Proceedings of the 12th international conference on Advanced communication technologyWe develop a QoS/QoE correlation model for IPTV QoE evaluation. With the growth of QoE interest, IPTV providers need a method to control QoE when QoE is not satisfied by subscribers. Network providers can evaluate subscriber's QoE using QoS parameters ...
