Impact of the video slice size on the visual quality for H.264 over 3G UMTS services

Jose Oscar Fajardo, Fidel Liberal, Nagore Bilbao
6th International Conference on Broadband Communications, Networks, and System (BROADNETS 2009)
Madrid, Spain
September 14-17, 2009
ABSTRACT
The provision of video streaming services over mobile data accesses is emerging as a promising service for the current and future Internet. This paper focuses on the study of H.264- based video contents over a typical 3G UMTS connectivity. The performance of the service is finally determined by the combined effects of the encoding features and the radio access characteristics. Therefore, based on the UMTS channel modeling, this paper tries to find out the optimal encoding configuration that provides the best service performance, in terms of Quality of Experience. In addition to other well-known encoding parameters, such as the source target bitrate, frame rate or resolution, this paper studies the impact of the maximum video slice size as a critical parameter for the performance of the considered service.

Study of the impact of UMTS Best Effort parameters on QoE of VoIP services

Jose Oscar Fajardo, Fidel Liberal, Nagore Bilbao
5th International Conference on Autonomic and Autonomous Systems (ICAS 2009)
Valencia, Spain
April 20-25, 2009
ABSTRACT
This paper evaluates the performance of VoIP services over mobile accesses, with special focus on currently deployed Best Effort UMTS networks. There are different configuration parameters that have a great impact on end users' perception of quality. This paper tries to help understanding the impact of those parameters, and how they can be tuned for a better VoIP experience.

PQoS-driven VoIP Service Adaptation in UMTS Networks

Nagore Bilbao, Jose Oscar Fajardo, Fidel Liberal
2nd International Workshop on the Evaluation of Quality of Service through Simulation in the Future Internet (QoSIM 2009)
Rome, Italy
March 6-8, 2009
ABSTRACT
This paper shows the relevance of implementing a dynamic and real-time Voice over IP (VoIP) service adaptation mechanism in order to avoid Perceived Quality of Service (PQoS) degradations. We have studied the most relevant parameters affecting the PQoS experienced by end users in VoIP services over mobile accesses. We will describe the enhancements carried out in the implementation of the simulation model in order to assess VoIP PQoS based on ITU-T E-model and introduce a real-time service adaptation method. This adaptation method involves codec and packetization changes through SIP signalling, jointly to dejittering buffer management, and would be launched upon detection of PQoS degradation, in order to enhance end users' experience.
