Abstract:

We witness an explosive growth in the volume, velocity, and variety of the data available on the Internet. Such “data explosion” is mostly caused by the mobile devices, sensors, actuators, and social networks. Despite significant technological advancements, the users quality of experience is barely met. The ever-increasing demands of users related to high storage, fast computation, and processing has led toward the innovation of 5G technology. In this article, we conducted a study to highlight the significance of 5G (compared to the existing standards) and its effect on the user perceived quality of experience attributes. We have constructed a comprehensive taxonomy of quality of experience attributes, discussed their importance and how they ultimately lead toward the good quality of service. Moreover, a small experiment is conducted to demonstrate the effect of 5G on certain quality of experience attributes. Results revealed positive impact of 5G on certain experimented quality of experience attributes.

A paradigm shift has occurred in the information and communication technology (ICT) sector. New technologies, such as edge computing, fog computing, and IoT, are emerging and evolving with time. In a very short span of time, the cyber development and advancements have completely changed the way of how we work, play, teach, and learn. Despite such tremendous growth, the quality of experience (QoE) of the users is barely met. Monitoring and evaluating the provisioned network services is an area that has currently received a growing interest by industry and academia. The reason for such development is the thriving contention among the stakeholders in ICT, media, the abundance of resource intensive services (online video and virtual reality video streaming and recommendations), and the ultimate risk of customer churn lost caused by inadequate service quality. In order to leverage users QoE, the vendors have to adopt new efficient technologies to outsmart the competitors and to provide specified quality-of-service (QoS) attributes.
