This paper examines the impact of three representative QoSrelated parameters on user QoE in the particular context of location-based multiplayer games played on mobile devices. The choice for this research context is motivated by the rapidly expanding popularity of this application domain. Analysis of the quantitative and qualitative results from an empirical study involving 32 participants confirms that modifications in the performance of the investigated technical parameters does indeed hold implications for the quality of the users’ experiences; at the same time, the results clarify the magnitude of these implications. Our findings are valuable as they provide practical insight in the QoS/QoE relationship and can hence aid software developers in delivering high-quality usage experiences to their customers. | Keywords: | QoS; QoE; quantitative and qualitative user study; location-based mobile gaming; multiplayer; user experience | Document URI: | http://hdl.handle.net/1942/13067 | ISBN: | 978-3-642-24499-5 | ISI #: | 000306728900011 | Category: | C1 | Type: | Proceedings Paper | Validations: | ecoom 2013 |
