Abstract—This paper describes a novel QoE-aware adaptive video streaming method that enhances the viewing experience on mobile devices and reduces cellular network bandwidth consumed by Dynamic Adaptive Streaming over HTTP (DASH) by consid-ering perceptual video quality and data rate channel conditions in the bitrate adaptation process. By streaming an optimized video for the particular video quality and channel conditions to a mobile device, we can improve the worst video qualities caused by DASH streaming and reduce quality variations using fewer number of bits. Keywords—QoE, Adaptive video streaming, DASH I.
