Abstract
There are provided mechanisms for predicting a multimedia session MOS. The multimedia session comprises a video session and an audio session, wherein video quality is represented by a vector of per-time-unit scores of video quality and wherein audio quality is represented by is a vector of per-time-unit scores of audio quality. The multimedia session is represented by a vector of rebuffering start times of each rebuffering event, a vector of rebuffering durations of each rebuffering event, and an initial buffering duration being the time between an initiation of the multimedia session and a start time of the multimedia session. The method comprises generating audiovisual quality features from the vector of per-time-unit scores of video quality and the vector of per-time-unit scores of audio quality. The audiovisual quality features comprise: a vector of per-time-unit scores of audiovisual quality, calculated as a polynomial function of the vector of per-time-unit scores of video quality and the vector of per-time-unit scores of audio quality; a weighted combination of the per-time-unit scores of audiovisual quality, wherein the weights are exponential functions of a time since the …
