IEEE Targets Network-Adaptive QoE Standard -- P1907.1

The IEEE Standards Association (IEEE-SA) Standards Board has approved work to begin on IEEE P1907.1 – Standard for Network-Adaptive Quality of Experience (QoE) Management Scheme for Real-Time Mobile Video Communications.


The proposed standard would address the quality of mobile video communications. It would help network operators, application developers, service/content providers and end users to develop, deploy and utilize real-time collaborative services.


“The goal of IEEE P1907.1 is to help raise the bar for real-time mobile video communications, ultimately resulting in a richer and more satisfying end-user experience,�? said John Ralston, chair of the IEEE P1907.1 Working Group. “By tackling real-time video capture, transmission and monitoring of received video quality, IEEE P1907.1 is intended to facilitate a high-quality real-time mobile video user experience within the constraints of mobile devices and networks."


The first meeting of the IEEE P1907.1 Working Group is scheduled for March 2012 in Piscataway, N.J.http://standards.ieee.org/develop/project/1907.1.html
