The main objective of the book is to present state-of-the-art
research results and experience reports in the area of quality
monitoring for customer experience management, addressing topics
which are currently important, such as service-aware future
Internet architecture for Quality of Experience (QoE) management on
multimedia applications. In recent years, multimedia applications
and services have experienced a sudden growth. Today, video display
is not limited to the traditional areas of movies and television on
TV sets, but these applications are accessed in different
environments, with different devices and under different
conditions. In addition, the continuous emergence of new services,
along with increasing competition, is forcing network operators and
service providers to focus all their efforts on customer
satisfaction, although determining the QoE is not a trivial task.
This book addresses the QoE for improving customer perception when
using added value services offered by service providers, from
evaluation to monitoring and other management processes.

The analysis of QoE is not an easy task, especially for multimedia
services, because all the factors (technical and non-technical)
that directly or indirectly influence the user-perceived quality
have to be considered. This book describes different methods to
investigate users' QoE from the viewpoint of technical and
non-technical parameters using multimedia services. It discusses
the subjective methods for both controlled and uncontrolled
environments. Collected datasets are used to analyze users'
profiles, which sheds light on key factors to help network service
providers understand end-users' behavior and expectations.
Important adaptive video streaming technologies are discussed that
run on unmanaged networks to achieve certain QoS features. The
authors present a scheduling method to allocate resources to the
end-user based on users' QoE and optimizes the power efficiency of
users' device for LTE-A. Lastly, two key aspects of 5G networks are
presented: QoE using multimedia services (VoIP and video), and
power-saving model for mobile device and virtual base station.
Wireless Sensor Networks: Theory and Practice for Deployment
addresses WSNs deployment, a mandatory and critical step in the
process of developing WSNs solutions for real-life applications.
The authors address simple approaches to deploy static WSNs, then
exploring more sophisticated approaches to deploy mobile WSNs.
Featuring detailed investigations of deployment-related issues such
as deployment cost, coverage, connectivity, sensors reliability,
and harsh deployment environments, this book will equip you with
the basics and an advanced view of both the theoretical and
practical aspects, along with knowledge of the guidelines for WSNs
deployment.
A modern communication networkA can be described asA a large,
complex, distributed system composed by higher interoperating,
smaller sub-systems. Today, the proliferation and convergence of
different types of wired, wireless, and mobile networks are crucial
for the success of the next generation networking.A However, these
networks can hardly meet the requirements of future
integrated-service networks, and are expected to carry multimedia
traffic with various Quality of Experience (QoE) and Quality of
Service (QoS) requirements. Providing all relevant QoS/QoE issues
in these heterogeneous networks is then an important challenge for
telecommunication operators, manufacturers, and companies. The
impressive emergence and the important demand of the rising
generation of real-time Multi-service (such as Data, Voice VoD,
Video-Conference, etc.) over communication heterogeneous networks,
require scalability while considering a continuous QoS.A This book
presents and explains all the techniques in new generation networks
which integrate efficient global control mechanisms in two
directions: (1) maintain QoS requirements in order to maximize
network resources utilization, and minimize operational costs on
all the types of wired-wireless-mobile networks used to transport
traffic, and (2) mix the QoS associated with home, access, and core
networks in order to provide Quality of Service/Quality of
Experience expected by users of new services.
Based on a convergence of network technologies, the Next Generation
Network (NGN) is being deployed to carry high quality video and
voice data. In fact, the convergence of network technologies has
been driven by the converging needs of end-users. The perceived
end-to-end quality is one of the main goals required by users that
must be guaranteed by the network operators and the Internet
Service Providers, through manufacturer equipment. This is referred
to as the notion of Quality of Experience (QoE) and is becoming
commonly used to represent user perception. The QoE is not a
technical metric, but rather a concept consisting of all elements
of a user's perception of the network services. The authors of this
book focus on the idea of how to integrate the QoE into a
control-command chain in order to construct an adaptive network
system. More precisely, in the context of Content-Oriented Networks
used to redesign the current Internet architecture to accommodate
content-oriented applications and services, they aim to describe an
end-to-end QoE model applied to a Content Distribution Network
architecture. About the Authors Abdelhamid Mellouk is Full
