In this paper, we propose a new status-aware resource adaptation sche- me, i.e. a status-aware module is embedded into basic elements （Forwarding Node （FN） and Resource adaption Manager （RM））.

This paper proposes a service-aware scheduling algorithm, in which the Mean Opinion Score （MOS） is chosen as the unified metric of the Quality of Experience （QoE）. As the network needs to provide satisfactory services to all the users, the fairness of QoE should be considered. The Propor- tional Fair （PF） principle is adopted to achieve the trade-off between the network perfonmnce and us- er fairness. Then, an integer progranming problem is formed and the QoE-aware PF scheduling princi-ple is derived by solving the relaxed problem. Simu-lation results show that the proposed scheduling principle can perform better in terms of user fair-ness than the previous principle maximizing the sum of MOS.
