A method to enhance a subjective quality of experience for an application may include receiving network performance data, the data representing at least one observable application characteristic, and the subjective quality of experience (QoE) survey data. The method may further include generating at least one perception model which relates the data representing at least one observable application characteristic and the network performance data, and determining a QoE model which relates the subjective QoE survey data and the data representing at least one observable application characteristic. The method may further include inverting the at least one perception model and the QoE model to obtain a relationship between network performance parameters and the at least one observable application characteristic, and adjusting network parameters based on the at least one inverted perception model and inverted QoE model.
