6、mmendation ITU-T G.1071 Opinion model for network planning of video and audio streaming applications Summary Recommendation ITU-T G.1071 provides algorithmic models for network planning of IP-based video services. This Recommendation addresses two application areas: the higher resolution (HR) applic
7、ation area, including services such as IPTV; the lower resolution (LR) application area, including services such as mobile TV. The algorithmic model addressing the HR application area is described in Annex A. The algorithmic model addressing the LR application area is described in Annex B. A further
8、 algorithmic model extends the HR application area to include ITU-T H.265 high efficiency video coding (HEVC), and is described in Annex C. The application of the models is limited to quality of experience (QoE/ quality of service QoS planning. Other applications such as quality benchmarking and mon
9、itoring are outside the scope of this Recommendation. As input, the models take network planning assumptions, for example, the video resolution, the audio and video codec types and profiles, the audio and video bitrates, the packet-loss-rate and the packet-loss distribution. As output, the model alg
10、orithms provide individual estimates of audio, video and audiovisual quality in terms of the five-point absolute category rating (ACR) mean opinion score (MOS) scale. Further diagnostic information on causes of quality degradations can also be made available. History Edition Recommendation Approval

ITU-T G.1071 (11/2016) FOREWORD The International Telecommunication Union (ITU) is the United Nations specialized agency in the field of telecommun
13、ications, information and communication technologies (ICTs). The ITU Telecommunication Standardization Sector (ITU-T) is a permanent organ of ITU. ITU-T is responsible for studying technical, operating and tariff questions and issuing Recommendations on them with a view to standardizing telecommunic
14、ations on a worldwide basis. The World Telecommunication Standardization Assembly (WTSA), which meets every four years, establishes the topics for study by the ITU-T study groups which, in turn, produce Recommendations on these topics. The approval of ITU-T Recommendations is covered by the procedur
15、e laid down in WTSA Resolution 1. In some areas of information technology which fall within ITU-Ts purview, the necessary standards are prepared on a collaborative basis with ISO and IEC. NOTE In this Recommendation, the expression “Administration“ is used for conciseness to indicate both a telecomm
16、unication administration and a recognized operating agency. Compliance with this Recommendation is voluntary. However, the Recommendation may contain certain mandatory provisions (to ensure, e.g., interoperability or applicability) and compliance with the Recommendation is achieved when all of these
17、 mandatory provisions are met. The words “shall“ or some other obligatory language such as “must“ and the negative equivalents are used to express requirements. The use of such words does not suggest that compliance with the Recommendation is required of any party. INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTSITU dr
18、aws attention to the possibility that the practice or implementation of this Recommendation may involve the use of a claimed Intellectual Property Right. ITU takes no position concerning the evidence, validity or applicability of claimed Intellectual Property Rights, whether asserted by ITU members
19、or others outside of the Recommendation development process. As of the date of approval of this Recommendation, ITU had received notice of intellectual property, protected by patents, which may be required to implement this Recommendation.

24、on model for network planning of video and audio streaming applications 1 Scope This Recommendation provides models which deliver estimates of the impact of typical IP network impairments on the quality experienced by the end user in multimedia mobile streaming and Internet protocol television (IPTV
25、) applications over transport formats such as: real-time transport protocol (RTP) (over user datagram protocol (UDP), motion picture experts group-2 transport stream (MPEG2-TS) (over UDP or RTP/UDP), 3rd generation partnership project packet-switched steaming service (3GPP-PSS) (over RTP). The model
26、s are network planning tools. They are of help in selecting IP-network transmission settings such as the audio and video format, the audio and video codecs and the audio and video bitrates, under the assumption that the network is prone to packet loss. This Recommendation targets the same services a
27、s ITU-T P.1201 and ITU-T P.1202. In particular, this Recommendation covers the same coding technologies and unreliable network mechanisms such as UDP. Moreover, this Recommendation extends the higher resolution (HR) application area to include ITU-T H.265 high efficiency video coding (HEVC). However
28、, this Recommendation is limited to quality of experience (QoE)/ quality of service (QoS) planning, while ITU-T P.1201 and ITU-T P.1202 are dedicated to service monitoring and benchmarking. The following Recommendations have also been developed for QoE/QoS planning, but for different applications: I
