Although Quality of Experience (QoE) is perceived as a subjective measure of a user’s experience, it is the only measure that actually counts to a user of a service. It is essential to identify, quantify and ultimately improve the perception of QoE for a user. The PERIMETER project improves the user’s experience by identifying a more user-centric network selection, based on QoE calculations and user preferences. PERIMETER defines a generic QoE model which forms the basis for QoE signalling and QoE based content adaptation support. This paper provides an insight into how user centric seamless mobility is being achieved by PERIMETER, beginning with an explanation of QoE and the need for preferences. Next, more details of the complete system, including QoE management, user feedback and the final delivery, are provided. Finally, an outlook is given on PERIMETER’s future plans and its contributions to research in the Future Internet.
