Abstract
Technologies are generally described for Quality of Experience (QoE) computation in a wireless content transmission environment. Portions of audio and/or video content transmitted to user devices may be selected by a service provider/content provider/user device and transmitted back from the user device for real-time QoE computation. Transmission quality may be adjusted based on the real-time QoE computations. Alternatively, selected portions of the content may be stored for subsequent computation and improvement. Selected portions of the data may be frames marked as such and reference frames may be selected based on the marked frames.

59. A method for determining quality of experience (QoE) in a wireless system, the method comprising:
-
transmitting data to be played back at one or more user devices; if sufficient bandwidth is available to receive one or more selected portions of the transmitted data through an upload channel, receiving the one or more selected portions of the transmitted data that can be reliably received for real time QoE computation at one of a service provider or a content provider from a user device; and performing the QoE computation using the received portions of the transmitted data. - View Dependent Claims (60, 61, 62, 63, 64, 65, 66)

67. A method for enabling computation of quality of experience (QoE) in a wireless system, the method comprising:
-
receiving data to be played back; determining a portion of the received data to be transmitted to one of a service provider or content provider for QoE computation; capturing the portion of the data to be transmitted to one of the service provider or content provider; and if sufficient bandwidth is available to transmit the portion of the data through an upload channel, transmitting a largest possible the portion of the data to the service provider that can be reliably transmitted for real time QoE computation at one of the service provider or the content provider, wherein the data includes at least one of video data and/or audio data. - View Dependent Claims (68, 69, 70)

71. A server providing an audio/video transmission service with quality of experience (QoE) computation over a wireless network, the server comprising:
-
a communication module adapted to communicate wirelessly with one or more user devices; a memory adapted to store instructions; and a processor coupled to the communication module and the memory, the processor adapted to; transmit data to be played back at one or more user devices; if sufficient bandwidth is available to receive one or more selected portions of the transmitted data from a user device, receive largest amount of the one or more portions of the transmitted data that can be reliably received for real time QoE computation at one of a service provider or a content provider; and perform the QoE computation based on the received portions of the transmitted data, wherein the data includes at least one of video data and/or audio data. - View Dependent Claims (72, 73, 74, 75)

76. A computing device for receiving an audio/video transmission service with quality of experience (QoE) computation over a wireless network, the computing device comprising:
-
a communication module adapted to communicate wirelessly with a service provider; a memory adapted to store instructions; a processor coupled to the communication module and the memory, the processor adapted to; receive data to be played back; determine a portion of the received data to be transmitted to the service provider for QoE computation; capture the portion of the data to be transmitted to the service provider; and if sufficient bandwidth is available to transmit the portion of the data through an upload channel, transmit the a largest possible portion of the data to the service provider that can be reliably transmitted for the QoE computation at one of the service provider or a content provider, wherein the data includes at least one of video data and/or audio data. - View Dependent Claims (77, 78)
