ABSTRACT 

In this paper, we assess multidimensional QoE (Quality of Experience) of HTTP-based streaming services in seeking operation to evaluate the effect of two transmission schemes: adaptive bitrate streaming and progressive download. We perform a subjective experiment with two contents and various network load conditions. In the experiment, subjects find pre-specified scenes by means of seeking the video as they want to see the scenes right now. We also perform the principal component analysis for the assessment result of multidimensional QoE. We then find that the adaptive bitrate streaming is not necessarily effective for QoE enhancement; the effectiveness of the scheme depends on the usage of the system and network conditions.
