Summary :

In this paper, we propose a quality-level control method based on quality of experience (QoE) characteristics for HTTP adaptive streaming (HAS). The proposed method works as an adaptive bitrate controller on the HAS client. The proposed method consists of two operations: buffer-aware control and QoE-aware control. We implement the proposed method on an actual dynamic adaptive streaming over HTTP (DASH) program and evaluate the QoE performance of the proposed method via both objective and subjective evaluations. The results show that the proposed method effectively improves both objective and subjective QoE performances by preventing stalling events and quality-level switchings that have a negative influence on subjective QoE performance.
