Description

一种网络能力指标和用户体验指标的映射方法及装置 技术领域
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。
背景技术
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
本本申请实施例提供一种网络能力指标和用户体验指标的映射方法及装置,用于更加准确确定出用户体验指标。
第一方面,本申请实施例提供一种网络能力指标和用户体验指标的映射方法,包括:获取网络能力指标,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。
本申请实施例提供另一种网络能力指标和用户体验指标的映射方法,包括:获取目标用户体验指标,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。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。
可选地,所述预设的映射模型包括:初始缓冲时延模型和/或卡顿模型。可选地,当所述预设的映射模型包括初始缓冲时延模型,所述网络能力指标包括:初始缓冲峰值速率、端到端往返时延和视频的属性信息,所述用户体验指标包括初始缓冲时延;当所述预设的映射模型包括卡顿模型时,所述网络能力指标包括:感知速率和所述视频的属性信息,所述用户体验指标包括卡顿信息。
也就是说,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。

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。

网络能力指标包括多个,在此处用到网络能力指标中的初始缓冲峰值速率和端到端往返时延(Round-Trip Time,RTT)。端到端往返时延在计算机网络中是一个重要的性能指标,可表示从发送端发送数据开始,到发送端收到来自接收端的确认为止的时延。
初始缓冲峰值速率和端到端往返时延可通过对网络侧(例如,基站)的相关数据进行分析、计算获得。本申请实施例中,确定出网络能力指标中的初始缓冲峰值速率和端到端往返时延;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。由于网络能力指标中的初始缓冲峰值速率和端到端往返时延,以及视频的属性信息均无需从终端侧获取,以初始缓冲峰值速率、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。
可选地,本申请实施例适用于多种协议的视频,比如基于传输控制协议(Transfer Control Protocol,TCP)协议的OTT视频,通常使用的几种协议为:Http+RANGE、HLS和DASH等。本申请实施例中提供一种视频的初始缓冲时延模型,基于TCP相关理论。图3示例性示出了本申请实施例中提供的一种视频吞吐率和时间的关系模型示意图,如图3所示,横轴表示时间,纵轴表示视频的吞吐率。如图3所示,当用户点击视频时,视频经过初始缓冲阶段并缓冲一定的数据之后可进入播放阶段,初始缓冲阶段按时间顺序依次包括准备阶段、建立链接阶段、慢启动阶段和稳态下载阶段。准备阶段所经过的时延称为 准备时延,建立链接阶段所经过的时延称为建立链接时延,慢启动阶段所经过的时延称为慢启动时延,稳态下载阶段所经过的时延称为稳态下载时延。下面提供几个用于计算各个阶段的时延的示例。

基于上述内容,本申请实施例还提供一种从用户体验指标映射至网络能力指标的方案。该方案中,用户体验指标可为目标初始缓冲时延,即最终希望达到的初始缓冲时延,网络能力指标可为与目标初始缓冲时延匹配的网络能力指标,比如初始缓冲峰值速率和端到端往返时延。具体来说,当用户输入一个目标初始缓冲时延时,经过本申请实施例提供的方案,可以为用户输出一个与目标初始缓冲时延时匹配的网络能力指标。下面对从用户体验指标映射至网络能力指标的方案进行详细论述。
图4示例性示出了本申请实施例提供的一种用户体验指标向网络能力指标映射的方法流程示意图,如图4所示,该方法包括:

图5示例性示出了本申请实施例提供的一种用户体验指标向网络能力指标映射的方法流程示意图,如图5所示,该方法包括:
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,包括:
针对K个周期中的第i个周期,执行以下内容,其中,K为大于等于1的整数,i为大于等于1且小于等于K的整数:
步骤401,确定i为1;

可选地,确定出第i个周期的端到端往返时延,包括:若i等于1,则将第i个计算周期的端到端往返时延设置为预设的最小端到端往返时延;若i大于1,且第i-1个计算周期的初始缓冲时延小于目标初始缓冲时延,则将第i-1个计算周期的端到端往返时延提高一档,得到第i个计算周期的端到端往返时延。可选地,端到端往返时延可预设多个档。
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。
图6示例性示出了本申请实施例提供的另一种网络能力指标和用户体验指标的映射方法的流程示意图,如图6所示,该方法包括:
步骤501,获取网络能力指标中的感知速率;
步骤502,根据预设的卡顿模型,将获取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。
可选地,本申请实施例中,根据网络能力指标中包括的感知速率,可以输出的用户体验指标为卡顿指标,卡顿指标比如可包括发生卡顿的时长,卡顿时长占比等卡顿相关的信息。可选地,卡顿指标也可包括发生卡顿的时间和卡顿结束的时间等等一些用于指示出卡顿的时长的信息。相比于现有技术中通过监控视频具体实际的播放情况确定出视频的卡顿信息来说,本申请实施例中通过感知速率预估出卡顿指标,感知速率无需依赖于终端侧视频播放情况,也无需依赖于终端性能,因此本申请实施例中可以更准确的评估出卡顿指标,即更准确的实现从网络能力指标到用户体验指标的映射。
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。
图8示例性示出了本申请实施例提供的另一种网络能力指标和用户体验指标的映射方法的流程示意图,如图8所示,该方法包括:
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,包括:

步骤F,根据第j-1个周期的当前缓冲量、感知速率、进入重缓冲阶段的时刻Tc、第j个周期的截止时刻tj,计算第j个周期的当前缓冲量;执行步骤G;
步骤G,若确定步骤F中计算得到的第j个周期的当前缓冲量不小于预设的重缓冲数据量,则确定当前发生的卡顿结束,获取卡顿结束的时间。
可选地,步骤G中,还包括:若确定步骤F中计算得到的第j个周期的当前缓冲量不 小于预设的重缓冲数据量,则将第j个周期的截止时刻tj标记为进入当前播放阶段的时刻Tb;且在确定j不大于Q-1时,j++,且执行步骤D;若确定步骤F中计算得到的第j个周期的当前缓冲量小于重缓冲数据量,则在确定j不大于Q-1时,j++,且执行步骤F。
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。
基于上述内容,本申请实施例还提供一种从用户体验指标映射至网络能力指标的方案。该方案中,用户体验指标可为目标卡顿指标,即期望的卡顿指标,网络能力指标可为与目标卡顿指标匹配的网络能力指标,比如感知速率。具体来说,当用户输入一个目标卡顿指标时,经过本申请实施例提供的方案,可以为用户输出一个与目标卡顿指标时匹配的网络能力指标。下面对从用户体验指标映射至网络能力指标的方案进行详细论述。

步骤801,获取用户体验指标中的目标卡顿指标;

表1本申请实施例中的参数
Figure PCTCN2017074619-appb-000006
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。
