Abstract
This paper focuses on the experimental performance assessment of the Quality-Oriented Adaptation Scheme (QOAS) when used for streaming high quality multimedia-based services via local broadband IP networks. Results of objective tests using a QOAS simulation model show very efficient adaptation in terms of end-user perceived quality, loss rate, and bandwidth utilization, compared to existing adaptive streaming schemes such as LDA+ and TFRCP. Subjective tests confirm these results by showing high end-user perceived quality of the QOAS under various network conditions.
