A QoE-aware mobile web middleware for multimedia service

Currently, the satisfaction of user is becoming one of the most important topics. With the development of wireless networks and mobile computing, more advanced multimedia applications with QoE-awareness are needed. In this paper, web middleware architecture for the development of QoE-aware multimedia applications on a mobile device is presented. A QoS/QoE correlation model for multimedia service is proposed, and the QoE evaluation method using QoS parameter in wireless network environment is studied. Using the proposed QoS/QoE correlation model, applications based on our web middleware can predict the objective QoE value of multimedia service in offered network environment and adjust application parameters to improve QoE.
