Abstract
This IPTV Test, Measurement & Monitoring (TM&M) Report helps simplify the
pursuit of Video Quality (VQ), Quality of Service(QoS) and Quality of
Experience(QoE) related to the design and operation of an IPrv system. Created
primarily for Service Provider Management, Technical Specialists and TM&M
vendors, this report goes far beyond what has been traditionally covered in
Quality Control, Quality Assurance and Quality of Experience analyses for
Video based services. This report reviews the requirements associated with
video quality, QoS and QoE, provides a taxonomy of the TM&M solutions,
recommends best practices and identifies the suppliers, products and emerging
standards associated with this important area.
Unique Findings of Report:
- QoS and QoE measurements roughly match the OSI Layers, making it more
deliberate to measure aspects of the video stream through those layers.
- By keeping your pre-deployment testing lab operational after early
deployments, the IPTV Operator can save and learn significantly about new
conditions before deploying new services, resulting in saved truck-rolls and
improved customer satisfaction and take-rate of the new service.
