Design, implementation and testing of QoE-optimization mechanisms for HTTP-based video flows

In this work, we propose the use of a Resource Management proxy that leverages the system model defined by the MPEG-DASH standard to transparently allocate a portion of the available channel resources to video users. The proxy also guarantees a minimum QoE level for each user, depending on the QoE class the user belongs to. Experimental results show that the use of Resource Management proxy is able to greatly improve the quality perceived by the user and provides high efficiency in channel use.
