Description
本申请涉及流媒体技术领域,尤其涉及一种网络能力指标和用户体验指标的映射方法及装置。
随着移动视频的快速发展,用户的视频体验越来越重要,以视频体验来指导建网成为趋势。
通常获取用户体验指标的方案为,在用户观看视频的终端侧获取一些视频的播放参数,之后根据获取的终端侧的播放参数确定出用户体验指标。上述方案中,用户体验指标的结果会受到用户观看行为、终端等其他因素的影响,并不能真正反映网络承载视频的能力。
在现有技术中,网络侧要想获取用户的视频体验指标非常困难,除非用户的终端软件将播放视频时的参数上传,否则,网络侧非常困难获取用户的体验指标。
另一方面,在网络规划中,通常基于预设的目标带宽和目标E2E RTT来进行规划,而不是基于用户体验进行规划的,因此传统的网络规划并不能真正满足用户的体验需求。
发明内容

本申请实施例中可选地,若网络能力指标包括:感知速率;则根据预设的映射模型,将获取的网络能力指标作为输入参数,从映射模型中输出用户体验指标,包括:根据预设的卡顿模型,将确定的感知速率和视频的属性信息作为卡顿模型的输入,从卡顿模型中输出用户体验指标中的卡顿指标。

在具体实施中,视频播放过程中,播放器一方面会消耗缓冲区的已缓冲的数据,另一方面会将OTT下载的数据缓存到缓冲区中,图7示例性示出了本申请实施例提供的一种缓
冲区的存储量示意图,如图7所示,用户点击视频后,视频进入初始缓冲阶段,在该阶段下载数据到缓冲区,缓冲区内的缓冲量等于或大于初始缓冲数据量时,开始视频播放,即进入播放阶段,在播放阶段会消耗缓冲区已缓冲的数据,另一方面也会继续将下载的数据缓冲至缓冲区,一旦缓冲区内的缓冲量小于卡顿门限,则出现卡顿,即进入重缓冲阶段,在重缓冲阶段,视频不播放,即缓冲区的数据不会消耗,只会继续存储,直至缓冲区的缓冲量大于或等于重缓冲数据量时,视频重缓冲结束,开始播放。视频卡顿主要受视频码率、下载速率以及缓冲区剩余数据量三者的影响。
本申请实施例中视频的卡顿模型采用‘微积分’的思想,即根据视频感知速率,计算出视频在每个统计周期内的来水量(感知速率*统计周期)、视频播放消耗量(码率*统计周期)、播放器缓冲区剩余缓冲量(总的来水量-总的播放消耗量),然后根据缓冲区的剩余缓冲量(即当前缓冲量)是否小于卡顿门限值判断是否出现卡顿。可选地,本申请实施例中统计周期可以是秒级或者毫秒级。每次卡顿的时延是出现卡顿到重缓冲结束的整个区间。卡顿门限和重缓冲数据量的取值直接影响卡顿模型的卡顿次数和卡顿的时长占比的准确性,可根据经验以及实际情况进行设定。

可选地,在上述流程中,若j大于Q-1,则结束流程。
可选地,获取网络能力指标中的感知速率,包括多种方案,一种可能的实现方案为获取网络能力指标中的视频的预设的感知速率,也就是说,在此种情况下仅提供一个感知速率,该一个感知速率可作为Q个周期中每个周期的感知速率。提供另一种可选地的方案,获取网络能力指标中的视频的感知速率序列,其中,感知速率序列中包括Q个周期中的每个周期对应的感知速率。任两个周期对应的感知速率可以相同也可不同。
本申请实施例中,通过预设的卡顿模型,将视频的相关网络能力指标,比如视频的感知速率作为输入参数,之后从卡顿模型中输出用户体验指标,比如卡顿指标。由于网络能力指标中的感知速率,以及视频的属性信息均无需从终端侧获取,以感知速率和视频的属性信息作为评估用户体验指标的标准时不受到终端性能的影响,因此可更加准确确定出用户体验指标。通过上述实施例可以看出,本申请实施例中提供了一种较为准确的从网络能力指标映射至用户体验指标的映射方案。

表1本申请实施例中的参数
下面对上述参数的获取进行一些介绍,本申请实施例下述内容仅仅提供一些可能获取到上述参数的方案,并不限定本申请的参数一定是通过以下方案获取的。
本申请实施例提供的方案一方面可以从网络侧获取相关的输入参数,另一方面也可从终端侧获取此方案中的输入参数,本申请实施例中终端侧可通过专业的测试软件获取视频初始缓冲阶段的初始缓冲峰值速率、感知速率和端到端往返时延。网络侧可通过产品的统计指标获取相应的用户调度速率、用户感知速率作为NE Model的初始缓冲峰值速率、感知速率参数的输入。
本申请实施例中用户调度速率,以LTE网络为例,可表示视频的传输数据总量与媒体访问控制(Medium Access Control,MAC)层调度时长的比值,不包含调度过程中的等待时长。
本申请实施例中用户感知速率,以LTE网络为例,可表示包括视频的传输数据总量与在分组数据汇聚协议(Packet Data Convergence Protocol,PDCP)层发送时长的比值,包含调度过程中的等待时长。视频源/播放协议,目前,该参数支持自定义输入,目前支持优酷、YouTube两种片源,也可从产品统计指标中获取。
视频分辨率/码率,目前,NE Model提供两种参数获取:第一,使用设定的基准视频编码和码率来进行估算;第二可在加密场景下根据播放过程中的全程感知速率代替,在未加密场景下,可以通过报文解析,获取视频的码率信息。
初始缓冲量阈值,在同样的网络条件和片源情况下,不同的客户端播放缓冲区大小设置,会导致初始缓冲时间的差异。我们建议采用当前主流视频客户端初始缓冲量经验值:例如,当前是4秒视频播放数据量。
卡顿门限,指播放器播放视频过程中,当播放器缓冲区的数据量小于卡顿门限时出现卡顿,卡顿门限可调整.
重缓冲数据量,指视频出现卡顿后,重新进入缓冲阶段,当视频播放器的缓冲区数据量大于重缓冲数据量时,视频重新开始播放。目前重缓冲数据量定义为0.63*缓冲区大小,可调整。
丢包率、初始窗口大小,目前,视频初始窗口大小大部分为10,丢包率可以自行设定,例如P=0.00001。
本申请实施例中,基于对TCP协议和视频业务的深入分析以及对大量现网数据的洞察,构建网络能力和视频体验之间的映射关系模型(Network to Experience Model,NE Model),主要可包括初始缓冲模型和卡顿模型,该模型可根据网络能力指标估算用户体验指标,不受用户行为、终端性能等因素的影响;同时,在网络规划或者优化时,该模型还可根据目标用户体验指标,估算网络能力指标,进而辅助计算网络规划中的覆盖、容量需求,推导出的数据也可作为网络规划和优化的数据参考。

一方面,由于当前网络侧可获取网络能力指标,进而根据网络能力指标和预设的映射模型,可得到用户体验指标,即根据网络能力指标即可评估用户体验,简化了获取用户体验的流程。另一方面,本申请实施例提供的映射模型可以根据目标用户体验指标输出与目标用户体验指标匹配的网络能力指标,从而为建网提供更准确的依据,所建成的网络也更加准确的满足用户的体验需求。
基于相同构思,本申请提供一种网络能力指标和用户体验指标的映射装置1100,用于执行上述方法流程。图11为本申请提供的一种网络能力指标和用户体验指标的映射装置的结构示意图。该网络能力指标和用户体验指标的映射装置1100包括处理单元1101和获取单元1102。
获取单元1102,用于获取网络能力指标和/或获取目标用户体验指标;
处理单元1101,用于在获取网络能力指标的情况下,根据预设的映射模型,将获取的
网络能力指标作为输入参数,从映射模型中输出用户体验指标;在获取目标用户体验指标的情况下,根据预设的映射模型,将获取的目标用户体验指标作为输入参数,从映射模型中输出与目标用户体验指标匹配的网络能力指标。

也就是说,可选地,若网络能力指标包括:初始缓冲峰值速率和端到端往返时延;则处理单元1101,用于:根据预设的初始缓冲模型,将确定的初始缓冲峰值速率、端到端往返时延和视频的属性信息作为初始缓冲模型的输入参数,从初始缓冲模型输出用户体验指标中的初始缓冲时延。

若网络能力指标包括:感知速率;则处理单元1101,用于:根据预设的卡顿模型,将确定的感知速率和视频的属性信息作为卡顿模型的输入,从卡顿模型中输出用户体验指标中的卡顿指标。
