Development of wireless LAN base station with Web-QoE based QoS control

In this paper, the authors develop a novel wireless LAN base station with Web-QoE based QoS control and evaluate its performance by experiment. By adapting a statistical characteristic of Web service traffic to QoS control, the base station can keep high QoE without worsening of congestion over wireless LAN; it is implemented by adopting two technologies: OpenFlow and WMM. In the experiment, the authors treat three actual Web services and assess QoE for them. From the experimental results, the authors show the effectiveness of the developed base station.
