Lessons learned from the death of videoconferencing – Bringing it back to life by user centric QoE guidelines expressed in QoS-parameters Presented by Bjørn Hestnes Telenor R&D
QoS? IMTC Forum – May 2005 – Eibsee, Germany
What is QoS? How it is defined: “the collective effect of service performance, which determines the degree of satisfaction of a user of the service” (E.800) How it is used: • Network oriented, packed switched for real-time applications • UDP IP (User Datagram Protocol) • Delay, Delay jitter, Packet loss, Burst packet loss++ • Bandwidth? IMTC Forum – May 2005 – Eibsee, Germany
QoS Is: • Technical oriented • Difficult to relate to • Packet loss of 4 % • Is this term really of help? IMTC Forum – May 2005 – Eibsee, Germany
How wrong can it go?Examples from the past IMTC Forum – May 2005 – Eibsee, Germany
The history is repeating itself Same problems in: • 1960 • 1970 • 1980 • 1990 • 2000 IMTC Forum – May 2005 – Eibsee, Germany
Another example from daily life IMTC Forum – May 2005 – Eibsee, Germany
Different time Same time Same place Different place Different groupware(ref R Johansen 92) Archive, library Conference room Surfing, e-mail, VoD Telephony, videoconferencing Which area is most time critical? IMTC Forum – May 2005 – Eibsee, Germany
Participants arrive at agreed time They have an agenda to og through If something goes wrong, they will not come through their agenda Very irritating! Timecritical applications 14 IMTC Forum – May 2005 – Eibsee, Germany
User-perceived QoSUser-based QoSFitness-for-PurposeQuality of Experience (QoE) User perceived reliablility includes: • Technical reliability • User errors If something brakes down, the users have a need for: • Instant support • Whatever the error is!!! IMTC Forum – May 2005 – Eibsee, Germany
Fixed Group Complex UI Poor(er) user perceived reliability Tradition of unreliability Everything i implemented Extreme quality (ie large screens) Mobile Individual Simple UI Better user perceived reliability Tradition of reliability Very simple implementation Poor quality (ie small screens) Differences in use IMTC Forum – May 2005 – Eibsee, Germany

Example of intermediate Guideline Videoconferencing with 650ms delay for sales negotiation can reduce results for the buyer (compared with videoconferencing with no delay) • IF negotiation • USING videoconferencing • WITH 650ms delay • THEN poorer result for the buyer (compared with no delay) IMTC Forum – May 2005 – Eibsee, Germany

Example Guideline Topic : Asynchrony 500ms asynchrony in remote inspection works well Justification: Remote inspection with 500 ms asynchrony for giving advice on a procedure does not affect task performance (compared with remote inspection with no delay) IMTC Forum – May 2005 – Eibsee, Germany
Example Guideline Topic : Screen resolution QCIF works as well as CIF on a small screen Justification: Videoconferencing with 3,5 inch screen and QCIF resolution for negotiation can result in no significant difference in task outcome (compared with videoconferencing with 3,5 inch screen and CIF resolution) IMTC Forum – May 2005 – Eibsee, Germany

Dissemination process IMTC Forum – May 2005 – Eibsee, Germany
Dissemination process • For whom? • End users (about)? • ”Administrators”: Impersonating result users • Real result users IMTC Forum – May 2005 – Eibsee, Germany
Identified result users • Network Providers • Strategic Network Planner • Sales Person • Market department • System integrators • Equipment Manufacturers • Development engineer • Support • Market, Sales • Service Providers IMTC Forum – May 2005 – Eibsee, Germany
Distinct Working Styles to Acquire Knowledge Lean-back & Think Lean-forward & Explore IMTC Forum – May 2005 – Eibsee, Germany
What can it be used for? IMTC Forum – May 2005 – Eibsee, Germany
What can it be used for? • Setting thresholds/levels in a test situation • How good is ”good enough” • Sales support: Help customers in investing in the right equipment for them • A reference to standard’s work IMTC Forum – May 2005 – Eibsee, Germany
Conclusion IMTC Forum – May 2005 – Eibsee, Germany
How can technical QoS parameters be expressed as a measure of QoE? • 500ms asynchrony in remote inspection works well • QCIF works as well as CIF on a small screen • End results: • ETSI Guidelines • Tutorial web system • ETSI report, requirements for future work • ETSI publications that can be refered to IMTC Forum – May 2005 – Eibsee, Germany
