Abstract:
This paper is essentially a treatment of the theoretical and practical aspects of the new IPTV service. The central part of the paper constitutes a detailed presentation of analysis scenarios and results, and addresses the following issues in particular: What influence does the encoding rate have of on QoE values? What effect does the most obtrusive impairment factor in a network, i.e. packet loss, have on QoE in IPTV? Is the MPEG-2 Transport Stream suitable for encapsulation and transport of MPEG-4/AVC content? Are there alternatives to the ISO/IEC 13818-1 Transport Stream? If so, how do they affect quality of service (QoE)?
