Abstract

The Gigabit Passive Optical Network (GPON) that provides a capacity boosts in both the total bandwidth and bandwidth efficiency is a promising technology for transport networks that can carry bandwidth-extensive 3D video stream-based applications. However, very little empirical results are known about the user perceived quality of these kinds of services in GPON-based networks. In this paper, we tackle the challenge by carrying out real GPON-based network measurements focusing Quality of Experience (QoE) of 3D streams and by engaging real users in our test for user perceived quality of service. Our results show that, in most of the investigated scenarios, the GPON is suitable for efficient transport of 3D multimedia contents and the QoE results of 3D video streams watching shows dependency on the network caused QoS.
