Abstract:
Quality of multimedia streaming service depends on network parameters such as bandwidth, delay, jitter and packet loss rate. In order to effectively improve the Quality of Service (QoS), it is needed to know which parameter is dominant in deterioration of the service quality at the moment. In the paper, we investigate the interdependency among network parameters in terms of finding out which parameter is dominant in the quality deterioration. We also studied the sensitivity of parameters on the change of quality in an emulated com-munication network. For these purposes, we performed exper-imental tests on streaming video with 16 testers, and we used transformed 5-level values for each network parameter to imi-tate a Likert style evaluation for each variable. It is found that bandwidth and delay affect more on service quality than jitter or loss rate.
