ITU-T agrees recommendations for IPTV Quality of Experience
June 11, 2008 - The International Telecommunications Union Standardisation Sector (ITU-T) has approved two key new standards for IPTV services concerning Quality of Experience (QoE) at a recent meeting.
The first new recommendation (ITU-T Rec. G.1080) defines QoE requirements from an end-user perspective, agnostic to network deployment architectures and transport protocols, with QoE requirements for video, audio, text, graphics, control functions and metadata provided. The second recommendation (ITU-T Rec. G.1081) defines performance monitoring for IPTV, with the aim of providing higher Quality of Service/Quality of Experience to customers by identifying, localising and quantifying service and network issues, using software solutions, hardware or both.
The ITU-T recommendations are intended to boost next-generation IPTV services, and more recommendations are expected to be consented at the next IPTV Global Standards Initiative (IPTV-GSI) meeting to be held on June 23-27 in Geneva.
