Abstract

This paper conducts multidimensional QoE assessment of Web-based audio and video transmission in seeking operation to evaluate the effect of two transmission schemes: adaptive bitrate streaming and progressive download. In the subjective experiment, we employ two contents and create various network conditions with load traffic. In the experiment, subjects find pre-specified scenes by means of seeking the video as they want to see the scenes right now. As a result, we find that the adaptive bitrate streaming is not necessarily effective for QoE enhancement; the effectiveness of the scheme depends on the usage of the system and network conditions.
