Systems and methods of media servers for estimating the video quality of experience (QoE) of human viewers of video content or communications at video receivers. With these systems and methods, a media server can collect, within a plurality of predetermined time windows synchronized in time, operational parameters of ingress and egress networks over which such video content or communications can be transmitted, as well as coding parameters of a video decoder and a video encoder within the media server. Having collected the operational parameters of the ingress network and egress network and the coding parameters of the video decoder and video encoder, the media server can determine QoE scores associated with some or all the ingress network, the video decoder, the video encoder, and the egress network, and estimate a resulting video QoE for a human viewer at a video receiver as a predefined combination of the respective QoE scores.

Estimation of video quality of experience on media servers

Improved systems and methods of performing multimedia communications over multimedia communications networks, in which video data senders can maintain high video quality of experience (QoE) levels with increased reliability despite changes in available bandwidths of video data receivers. In the disclosed systems and methods, video encoding parameters employed by the video data senders, including at least the video frame size and/or the video frame rate, can be dynamically adapted to the available bandwidths of the video data receivers, taking into account possible effects of spatial scaling and/or temporal scaling of video frames on the resulting video QoE.
