11 Variable delays and de-jitter buffer Size of de-jitter buffer at VoIP receiver is critical! s y Many adaptive playout algorithms: should achieve the best possible trade-off between loss delay should maximize user satisfaction

12 Variable delays and de-jitter buffer Size of de-jitter buffer at VoIP receiver is critical! Too small -> decreases e2e delay but increases late packet loss Too large -> decreases late packet loss but increases e2e delay Many adaptive playout algorithms: should achieve the best possible trade-off between loss delay should maximize user satisfaction

14 Variable delays and de-jitter buffer Size of de-jitter buffer at VoIP receiver is critical! Too small -> decreases e2e delay but increases late packet loss Too large -> decreases late packet loss but increases e2e delay Many adaptive playout algorithms! should achieve the best possible trade-off WE NEED A METHOD to evaluate them! should maximize user satisfaction

15 Playout delay adjustment (when?) 1. fixed throughout the whole session; 2. adjusted during silence periods (per talkspurt) [Ramjee 94, Moon 98, ]; 3. adjusted within talkspurts (per packet) using packet scaling (TSM technique) [Yi Liang 3].

16 Playout delay adjustment (how?) Reactive algorithm [Ramjee 94] INPUT : delay : network delay of a current packet i d _ est = α d _ est + (1 α) delay i i 1 i v _ est = α v _ est + (1 α) d _ est delay OUTPUT i i 1 i i : p = d _ est + βv _ est : playout delay of a current talkspurt i i i Histogram-based algorithm [Moon 98] d a : Playout delay Past 1 1 delays are stored in a circular array, both the array and the histogram get updated once a new packet is received. Loss rate specified by user. Playout time chosen from the histogram according to the desired loss rate.

17 Problem to solve management of the playout buffer is not specified by any standard and is vendor specific many fixed and adaptive playout schemes exist, each with a different parameter set information on the implementation of the playout buffer in commercial applications is practically nonexistent (it has a strategic value from vendor perspective) WE NEED A METHOD TO EVALUATE THEM FROM AN END USER PERSPECTIVE

18 How? Listening-only tests do not take into account delay impairments PESQ do not take into account end-to-end one-way delay in its rating -> NOT RECOMMENDED to asses the effect of CONVERSATIONAL delay E-model relies on static transmission parameters and do not take into account dynamics of changing transmission impairments (delay,loss) PESQ+E-model hybrid solution requires a reference speech signal and does not work in real time old statistical methods focus on late packet loss vs. buffering delay trade-off only and do not provide a direct link to conversational speech quality Assessing the quality of VoIP transmission affected by playout buffer scheme and encoding scheme

55 Summary We need a method to evaluate both playout buffer algorithms and encoding scheme in end-to-end VoIP system statistical loss/delay metrics (average delay/average loss) give little information on user satisfaction listening-only tests and PESQ don t take into account interactivity E-model relies on static transmission impairments that do not correspond to dynamics of de-jitter buffering We proposed extended version of the E-model (short-time version) It provides direct link to speech transmission quality by estimating user satisfaction. User satisfaction is estimated from varying transmission impairments (playout delay, resulting packet loss) and takes into account encoding scheme Pictorial representation of playout delays and packet loss gives more detailed view on the performance of a given playout algorithm The proposed method can work in real time and off-line on delay traces

56 Conclusions We compared the performance of three audio codecs (ITU-T G.711, G.723.1, and G.729A) and various buffering schemes in a WLAN environment under varying load conditions using the extended version of the ITU-T E-model methodology. Results show that the use of the G.711 audio codec in conjunction with dynamic alpha adaptive playout scheme gives the highest user satisfaction of the Voice over WLAN schemes considered.

57 Thank you.
