In this work, we explore a prediction method, based on the Kalman filter, for multimedia content delivery purposes. In summary, we predict the multimedia content based on their respective multimedia content identifier, such as by means unique identifiers in the network layer (using the DSCP field in an IP network, for example) or in the application layer (using application content tags, for example). A computational environment, simulating four multimedia services, is used to obtain experimental results. The obtained results show that the proposed method can be used to perform the multimedia content prediction based on their multimedia content identifiers. This approach is important to improve the multimedia content delivery and to increase the user-perceived Quality of Experience (QoE).
