Abstract
This streaming design assistance method assists in the selection of an encoding condition for increasing the watching time in adaptive bitrate video streaming by causing a computer to execute: estimating a relationship between a watching time or an abandonment rate and an application quality index according to a mathematical model on the basis of an actual value of a watching time of each of a plurality of first sessions related to video streaming and an actual value of an application quality index of each of the sessions; estimating the application quality index of each of the sessions for each of a plurality of encoding conditions related to video streaming on the basis of the plurality of encoding conditions and an actual value of time-series throughput of each of a plurality of second sessions; and applying the application quality index estimated under each of the encoding conditions to the relationship to estimate an average watching time of the plurality of second sessions.
