Long Term Evolution (LTE) enables bandwidth consuming HTTP applications as video streaming. Mobile Network Operator (MNO) is committed to guarantee acceptable levels of Quality of Service (QoS) and Quality of Experience (QoE) perceived by the end user. A correlation between the transport informations with the application informations is an important approach to be adopted by the MNO. This correlation is more useful if a second entity, as the Over The Top (OTT), cooperates for the content delivery process. In the scientific literature different mathematical models are used in order to correlate QoE to the QoS. This paper aims at analyse them in case of of HTTP based Web services as HTTP web browsing and HTTP video streaming. Different scenarios are simulated using OPNET simulation software tool. They can differ if the service is fully managed by the MNO (MNO-managed class) or if OTT cooperates with own content (OTT-managed). This is the case of YouTube. Results are analysed through regression k- means clustering techniques.
