Improved Quality for Conversational VoIP Using Path Diversity
نویسندگان
چکیده
In Voice-over-IP, the quality of interactive conversation is important to users. Quality-based playout buffering seeks an optimum balance between delay and loss. However, such a scheme still suffers when packet losses are bursty. Path diversity can alleviate the effect of losses and improve perceived quality by providing redundancy. In this paper, a new scheme is proposed which evaluates the performance of both paths. We consider three different path diversity schemes. The playout scheduling algorithms are designed based on conversational quality including both calling quality and interactivity. The simulation results show the efficacy of our algorithms in correcting for losses (isolated and burst) and improving perceived conversational quality.

Playout Buffering for Conversational Voice over IP
In Voice over IP, the quality of interactive conversation is important to users. Major factors affecting perceived quality are delay, delay jitter, and missing packets. For conversational VoIP, a conversational delay also plays an important role for perceived quality. Large conversational delay can result in double talk, echo or even the termination of the conversation. In practice, a playout b...
متن کاملPerformance Optimization of VoIP using an Overlay Network
Voice traffic on the Internet (VoIP) is poised to grow rapidly but the Internet is not engineered for such delaysensitive applications. We show how the end-user quality of many VoIP calls can be improved by rerouting them in an intermediate overlay network and thought the use of various path-diversity and error-coding techniques. We present an overlay network (OverPhone) that is tuned to optimi...
متن کاملThe Design of VoIP Systems With High Perceptual Conversational Quality
This paper describes our work on real-time twoparty and multi-party VoIP (voice-over-IP) systems that can achieve high perceptual conversational quality. It focuses on the fundamental understanding of conversational quality and its trade-offs among the design of speech codecs and strategies for network control, playout scheduling, and loss concealments. We have studied three key aspects that ad...

متن کاملNew Methods for Voice Quality Evaluation for IP Networks
The need to evaluate voice quality in VoIP (Voice over IP) applications is an important requirement for technical and commercial reasons. This may involve subjective and/or objective voice quality measurements, but existing methods may not always be appropriate for VoIP applications. The aims of the study reported in the paper are to investigate new subjective and objective measurement methods ...
