Quality perception when streaming video on tablet devices

•Subjective quality assessments for video streaming over tablet devices.•Parametric quality model useful for system control and optimization.•Comparison of with alternative subjective assessment results and models.

The proposed work aims at analyzing the quality perceived by the user when streaming video on tablet devices. The contributions of this paper are: (i) to analyze the results of subjective quality assessments to determine which Quality of Service (QoS) parameters mainly affect the users’ Quality of Experience (QoE) in video streaming over tablet devices; (ii) to define a parametric quality model useful in system control and optimization for the considered scenarios; (iii) to compare the performance of the proposed model with subjective quality results obtained in alternative state-of-the-art studies and investigate whether other models could be applied to our case and vice versa.
