Abstract [en]
Energy-efficient communication has become the center of attention from various interdisciplinary fields, such as industrial automation, healthcare, and transportation, among others. Besides, proliferation in the artificial intelligence (AI)-based sixth-generation (6G) technology for achieving the smart automation system has caught the attention of both academia and industry. Most of the intelligent automation systems are formed by IoT-based user terminal (UT) devices for multimedia (i.e., video, audio, image, and text) content delivery with high clarity and efficiency. Customer satisfaction/perception, i.e., Quality of Experience (QoE), is an essential factor to be analyzed because the Quality of Service (QoS) is not a suitable candidate to portray the feelings and expectations of users during multimedia transmission. Therefore, the energy-efficient, entropy-aware communication, and QoE analysis through IoT devices are the dire need. This article focuses on how the energy-efficient communication and users QoE level can be captured through the UT device during multimedia transmission. Thus first, QoS-based joint energy and entropy optimization (QJEEO) algorithm is proposed. Second, the 6G-driven multimedia data structure model and framework are developed for modeling and evaluation of QoE with acquisition time. Third, the relationship between subjective test score (i.e., surveyed data) and objective performance metrics with mobility/speed of IoT-based devices for multimedia service is established. Fourth, the correlation model is proposed for integrating QoS parameters with estimated QoE perceptions. The experimental results indicate that QoE is modeled and evaluated with acquisition time and correlated with QoS parameter, i.e., packet loss ratio (PLR), and average transfer delay during energy-efficient multimedia transmission in 6G-based networks to improve the satisfaction level of customers.
