Speech Quality Requirements over DSL Networks

چکیده

Quality of service (QoS) has been a feature of voice communication networks almost since their inception. The extension of traditional voice QoS methods to data communication networks and the Internet has been a longstanding research topic, although for many years it was not considered a critical issue due to the inherent differences between data and voice traffic and the relatively low cost of over provisioning bandwidth. In particular, over-provisioning of network bandwidth has been common practice since the earliest fiber-optic local-area networks (LANs) were deployed, and bandwidth on an optical network was found to be very economical. As VoIP moves from being an interesting and cheap application for enthusiasts to a public service for everybody, the speech quality requirements will be of increasing importance. There are a number of factors that contribute to the user perceived speech quality. Voice over a packet network may introduce new degradations such as packet loss, and increase other degradations such as delay. In this paper, we address Voice-over-IP (VoIP) as a trend of transferring voice over DSL access network and explaining the reasons of packet loss in speech signals and the solutions for preventing and recovering from packet loss. We concluded that retransmission of voice packets is not feasible for real-time applications like voice since they have very tight delay-bounds.

Achieving Quality IPTV over DSL

1 Executive Summary DSL has provided for the delivery of broadband services since the mid-1990s. By the fourth quarter of 2010, the world had over 350 million DSL lines in service, accounting for over 65% of the total broadband access market. In such a competitive access environment, differentiation is fundamental to business and driving revenue. To that end, IPTV has been considered a technolo...

Quality of service ranking and measurement methods for digital video broadcasting services delivered over broadband Internet protocol networks

This Recommendation specifies performance requirements and objective measuring methods of quality of service (QoS) for the delivery of digital video broadcasting services over broadband Internet protocol (IP) networks. The specified performance requirements are based on an IP QoS ranking at various levels, from “excellent” to “out-of-service”. They rely on the objective end-to-end measurement o...

Automatic Evaluation of Dysarthric Speech and Telemedical Use in the Therapy

After a stroke, the speech quality of the patients is often reduced. This is usually caused by a deficit of the motor abilities of the vocal tract. The result is slurred speech. In the various patients, however, very different forms can appear. In the course of therapy, evaluation of the speech quality is required to determine the success of the treatment. At the moment, this assessment is perf...

Greening the copper access network with dynamic spectrum management

This paper investigates the benefits of dynamic spectrum management (DSM) in terms of reducing the power consumption and improving the data rates and robustness in digital subscriber line (DSL) networks. Non-DSM solutions cause strong interference in a shared DSL binder and lead to instability in the network. However, DSM mitigates such interference, stabilises DSL service, and saves power cons...

A Unified Framework for Dynamic Spectrum Leasing (DSL) in Cognitive Radios

In this paper we develop a unified framework for dynamic spectrum leasing in a cognitive radio network. Dynamic Spectrum Leasing, or DSL for short, is a new paradigm for efficient spectrum sharing in cognitive radio networks that was proposed recently in [1]–[3]. DSL allows the primary users to actively encourage, or discourage, secondary access depending on their instantaneous Quality-of-Servi...
