A Novel QoE-Aware SDN-enabled, NFV-based Management Architecture for Future Multimedia Applications on 5G Systems
This addresses the challenge of delivering personalized multimedia services with better QoE for users on 5G networks, though it appears incremental as it builds on existing SDN and NFV technologies.
The paper tackles the problem of improving Quality of Experience (QoE) for multimedia applications on 5G systems by proposing a novel SDN-enabled, NFV-based management architecture, aiming to overcome limitations like increased network management complexity and lack of dynamic adaptation in current 4G systems.
This paper proposes a novel QoE-aware SDN enabled NFV architecture for controlling and managing Future Multimedia Applications on 5G systems. The aim is to improve the QoE of the delivered multimedia services through the fulfilment of personalized QoE application requirements. This novel approach provides some new features, functionalities, concepts and opportunities for overcoming the key QoE provisioning limitations in current 4G systems such as increased network management complexity and inability to adapt dynamically to changing application, network transmission or traffic or end-users demand.
