Abstract

The concept of PQoS, although in general it deals with the user satisfaction with a specific delivered/ requested service, is in practice significantly differentiated by the nature of each delivered service. This chapter reviews various existing PQoS assessment methods for video, VoIP, online games, and Web services that have been published in the literature. It then moves beyond the current PQoS assessment methods and presents novel techniques for predicting the PQoS of a multimedia service.
