Through subjective QoE experiments, we have obtained several interesting findings and useful insights. The results clearly reveal the tradeoffs between streaming bit-rate (B) and discontinuity (D) on the MOS under certain network condition. It is also showed that B-D tradeoff pattern is video content dependant. Based on these observations, a heuristic model is proposed to derive a group of MOS contours. This type of contours have practical usage and can help selecting suitable video streaming bit-rate (layer) for playback so as to maximize the perceptual QoE of the end users.enconference proceedings10.1109/VCIP.2011.6115961
