A video quality assessment mechanism for next-generation (5G) mobile networks is proposed by the authors of “An NFV-Based Video Quality Assessment Method over 5G Small Cell Networks,” which appears in the October-December 2017 issue of IEEE MultiMedia. (Login may be required for full text.)

It uses the small cell deployment architecture to implement a virtual network function to enable in-service monitoring of delivered video quality.
