QoE-driven distributed media services in D2D communications underlaying cellular networks

摘要

Device-to-device (D2D) communication has been widely studied to improve network performance and been considered as a potential technological component for the next generation communication. As Quality of Experience (QoE) is the major determining factor for the media service, we aim at promoting user's QoE Mean of Score (MOS) value for dynamic cellular networks. In this paper, we focus on the problem of heterogeneous media service distribution in D2D communications underlaying cellular networks. Firstly, we propose an innovative distributed media service scheme based on QoE models that jointly solve the massive media content dissemination issue for cellular networks. Moreover, our work maximizes users' QoE satisfaction by jointly considering media-aware, popularity function and priority function. Then, we propose a novel resource allocation algorithm based on the popularity function to optimize the total users' QoE satisfaction and avoid the influence of D2D interference. Numerical simulation results demonstrate the effectiveness of our proposed schemes.
