Capturing perception QoE models: MOS = f(x, y, z, …) Combining in a non-linear way Codec: signaling Audiovisual quality (MOS) Non-linear dependency between perceived quality and IP and application layer measurements

QoE model Standardization • ITU-T Study Group 9 and 12 • Recently approved P.1201 and P.1202 recommendations for UDP based video • New work items for progressive download (YouTube) and adaptive streaming (DASH)

Panel discussion • Is the quality of media services (in Sweden, today) good enough? • What QoE measurements are done today and what is missing? • What accuracy of the QoE measurements is desirable? • What are the reasons to share QoE measurement with other actors? • Who does a user call when there are quality problems? • What are the end-users willing to pay for in terms of quality? • What new business models can emerge using novel QoE measurement technologies?
Summary • Human perception is utterly complex… • …but we can handle that with QoE models • A lot of QoE measurement data is available • …but no one has access to all the data • Potential for new business models
