Development of Web-QoE evaluation system for wireless LAN with combination of simulator and network emulator

This paper shows development of a system for assessment of Web-QoE over wireless LANs. By simulation, we can easily consist various types of experimental networks, such as a wireless network, but cannot perform Web-QoE (Quality of Experience of Web services) assessment. On the other hand, we can utilize a network emulator to assess Web-QoE instead of using actual networks. However, such a network emulator cannot imitate many kinds of networks flexibly. Thus, the authors have developed a new system by combining a simulator with a network emulator. This paper confirms that this system is effective in assessment of Web-QoE by experiment.
