Abstract
This paper proposes a QoE-as-a-Service (QoEaaS) framework for multi-user OTT (Over-The-Top) streaming in 5G vehicular environments. The framework bridges radio telemetry data collected from the 5G network with perceptual video quality metrics at the application layer, enabling real-time QoE estimation without client-side instrumentation. The system correlates 5G radio measurements with DASH streaming QoE metrics, providing network operators with actionable quality indicators. The approach is validated in vehicular scenarios, demonstrating the feasibility of network-side QoE prediction for adaptive streaming services under mobile conditions.
