An example of real time QoE IPTV service estimator
This paper will consider an estimator which includes mathematical modelling of physical channel parameters as information carrier and the weakest links in the telecommunication chain of information transfer. It will also identify necessary physical layer parameters which influence the quality of multimedia service delivery or QoE (Quality of Experience). With the modelling of the above mentioned parameters, the relation between degradations will be defined which appear in the channel between the user and the central telecommunication equipment with domination of one media used for information transfer with certain error probability. Degradations in a physical channel can be noticed by observing the change in values of channel transfer function or the appearance of increased noise. Estimation of QoE IPTV (Internet Protocol Television) service is especially necessary during delivery of real time service. In that case the mentioned degradations may appear in any moment and cause a packet loss.
