Palabras clave: emulación, LTE, modelado, QoS, QoE, tráfico, video

Resumen

Este artículo presenta una revisión de los métodos utilizados actualmente para medir la Calidad de la Experiencia - QoE y Calidad de Servicio – QoS para servicio de vídeo usando técnicas de videostreaming a través de un proveedor de servicio de internet, se enuncian las principales diferencias entre las métricas objetivas y subjetivas, escenarios de uso y los inconvenientes presentados en un ambiente inalámbrico. Además, se presenta la tecnología de acceso de radio – RAN Long Term Evolution - LTE como la tecnología inalámbrica con mayor probabilidad de utilización en los próximos años, para lo cual se comparan las herramientas de desarrollo para el manejo de plataformas de emulación para sistemas LTE. Adicionalmente el artículo describe los retos y brechas de investigación en la evaluación y medición de la calidad de la experiencia para servicios de video soportados por tecnologías inalámbricas.
