Abstract
Recently internet protocol television (IPTV) service is becoming a typical emerging service enabled on broadband networks. Through the Internet which cannot support quality of service (QoS) beyond best-effort (BE) policy, how to manage and maintain its service quality is an important and essential issue for successful deployment and settlement of IPTV service. In particular, the current measurement scheme that mostly depends on specific equipments should be replaced with one that supports realtime and constant measurement achieved on a user's own will. Therefore, this paper proposes a scheme so-called 'user centric realtime measurement' of IPTV service. The developed software, which is installed in a set-top box (STB) at a user's premise, measures and reports the quality of IPTV service in realtime. In order to verify the performance and accuracy of the developed software, a number of tests are performed comparing to the measurement values from two major measurement equipments. The result of the tests shows that the measurement by the implemented software is significantly reliable.
