Monitoring Speech Quality in Telephone Networks: An Overview
نویسنده
چکیده
Monitoring speech quality in telephone networks is a two-step procedure. First, all data which are relevant for speech quality have to be measured during network operation. Then, models can be defined which calculate quality indices on the basis of the measurements. This talk will give an overview of monitoring approaches related to speech communication quality, which is one component of the quality of a service (QoS). Intrusively or non-intrusively measured data forms an input to different types of quality prediction models. Such models are based on the perceptively based comparison between input and output signals of the transmission line (signal-based models, e.g. PESQ, TOSQA, etc.), or on empirically determined relations between network planning parameters and user quality judgements (network planning models, e.g. the E-model or SUBMOD). They produce an estimate for certain quality dimensions which depend on the type of input parameters taken into account by the measurements. Various combinations between input parameters and prediction models are discussed, and limitations of the available methods are pointed out.

The use of telephone speech recordings for assessment and monitoring of cognitive function in elderly people
Cognitive assessment in clinic represents time consuming and expensive task. Speech may be employed as a means of monitoring cognitive function in elderly people. Extraction of speech characteristics from speech recorded remotely over a telephone was investigated and compared to speech characteristics extracted from recordings made in controlled environment. Results demonstrate that speech char...
متن کاملConversational quality estimation model for wideband IP-telephony services
As broadband and high-speed IP networks spread, IP-telephony services have become a popular speech communication application over IP networks. Recently, the speech quality of IP-telephony services has become close to that of conventional PSTN services. To provide better speech quality to users, speech communication with wider bandwidth (e.g., 7 kHz) is one of the most promising applications. To...
متن کاملAn artificial Neural Network approach to monitor and diagnose multi-attribute quality control processes
One of the existing problems of multi-attribute process monitoring is the occurrence of high number of false alarms (Type I error). Another problem is an increase in the probability of not detecting defects when the process is monitored by a set of independent uni-attribute control charts. In this paper, we address both of these problems and consider monitoring correlated multi-attributes proce...
متن کاملVoice over IP 15 . Voice over IP : Speech Transmission over Packet NetworksJ
The emergence of packet networks for both data and voice traffic has introduced new challenges for speech transmission designs that differ significantly from those encountered and handled in traditional circuit-switched telephone networks, such as the public switched telephone network (PSTN). In this chapter, we present the many aspects that affect speech quality in a voice over IP (VoIP) conve...
