Multimedia Streaming in SDN/NFV and 5G Networks: Machine Learning for Managing Big Data Streaming (IEEE Press)

A comprehensive overview of Quality of Experience control and management of multimedia services in future networks

In QoE Management of Multimedia Streaming Services in Future Networks, renowned researchers deliver a high-level exploration of Quality of Experience (QoE) control and management solutions for multimedia services in future softwarized and virtualized 5G networks. The book offers coverage of network softwarization and virtualization technologies, including SDN, NFV, MEC, and Fog/Cloud Computing, as critical elements for the management of multimedia services in future networks, like 5G and 6G networks and beyond.

Providing a fulsome examination of end-to-end QoE control and management solutions in softwarized and virtualized networks, the book concludes with discussions of probable future challenges and research directions in emerging multimedia services and applications, 5G network management and orchestration, network slicing and collaborative service management of multimedia services in softwarized networks, and QoE-oriented business models. The distinguished authors also explore:

• Thorough introductions to 5G networks, including definitions and requirements, as well as Quality of Experience management of multimedia streaming services
• Comprehensive explorations of multimedia streaming services over the internet and network softwarization and virtualization in future networks
• Practical discussions of QoE management using SDN and NFV in future networks, as well as QoE management of multimedia services in emerging architectures, including MEC, ICN, and Fog/Cloud Computing
• In-depth examinations of QoE in emerging applications, 5G network slicing architectures and implementations, and 5G network slicing orchestration and resource management

Perfect for researchers and engineers in multimedia services and telecoms, QoE Management of Multimedia Streaming Services in Future Networks will also earn a place in the libraries of graduate and senior undergraduate students with interests in computer science, communication engineering, and telecommunication systems.

在未來網路中，對多媒體服務的品質體驗控制和管理的全面概述

在《未來網路中多媒體串流服務的品質體驗管理》一書中，知名研究人員提供了對未來軟體化和虛擬化5G網路中多媒體服務的品質體驗（QoE）控制和管理解決方案的高層次探索。本書涵蓋了網路軟體化和虛擬化技術，包括SDN、NFV、MEC和Fog/Cloud Computing，作為未來網路（如5G和6G網路等）中多媒體服務管理的關鍵要素。

本書全面探討了軟體化和虛擬化網路中端到端的QoE控制和管理解決方案，並以對新興多媒體服務和應用、5G網路管理和編排、網路切片和軟體化網路中多媒體服務的協同服務管理以及以QoE為導向的商業模式的可能未來挑戰和研究方向的討論作為結尾。傑出的作者還探討了以下內容：

- 對5G網路的全面介紹，包括定義和需求，以及多媒體串流服務的品質體驗管理
- 在未來網路中對互聯網和網路軟體化和虛擬化的多媒體串流服務的全面探索
- 在未來網路中使用SDN和NFV進行QoE管理的實際討論，以及在新興架構（包括MEC、ICN和Fog/Cloud Computing）中的多媒體服務的QoE管理
- 對新興應用、5G網路切片架構和實現以及5G網路切片編排和資源管理的QoE進行深入研究

這本書非常適合從事多媒體服務和電信領域的研究人員和工程師，同時也適合計算機科學、通信工程和電信系統等領域的研究生和高年級本科生閱讀。
