Assessing QoE in Edge-Delivered Holographic Streaming with a Programmable Hardware Testbed

Year: 2025

Type: conference-paper

Abstract: Holographic-type communication demands multi-Gbps throughput and ultra-low latency, posing significant challenges to current 5G networks. This demo work presents a programmable testbed built on the P7 network emulator, which overcomes the throughput constraints of conventional platforms. Our demonstration deploys three edge computing slices—one at a far edge and two at near edges—to support volumetric media streaming directly to VR head-mounted display. By facilitating precise adjustment of network metrics such as latency and packet loss across the P7-enabled slices, the testbed allows users to visually observe the resulting effects on holographic content in VR. Although automated measurement of Quality of Experience (QoE) parameters are not incorporated, the testbed provides a valuable experimental environment where researchers can subjectively evaluate the relationship between network conditions and perceived quality, thereby gaining insights into optimizing network performance for enhanced Quality of Service (QoS).
