1 QoS Mapping of VoIP Communication using Self-Organizing Neural Network Masao MASUGI NTT Network Service System Laboratories, NTT Corporation -9- Midori-cho, Musashino-shi, Tokyo 80-88, Japan Abstract: This paper proposes a QoS mapping method of VoIP communications for real network environments. To totally take acount of the effects of several QoS-related parameters, we used a self-organizing neural network, which can map high-dimensional data into simple geometric relationships on a low-dimensional display. For training the self-organizing neural network, we measured sevaral QoS-related parameters such as PSQM+, end-to-end delay, and packet loss rate for three VoIP systems. Evaluation results confirmed that our method can effectively evaluate the total QoS level composed of several QoS-related factors. Keyword: VoIP, QoS mapping, PSQM, Self-organization I. Introduction Voice over IP (VoIP) enables voice data integration over IP networks, reducing the network transmission cost for IP protocol users. Due to the shared nature of current network structures, however, it is difficult to guarantee the quality level of voice speech. The quality of service (QoS) of VoIP depends on several factors such as network delay, packet loss rate, and the kinds of codec, so that it is naturally categorized as a best effort service. In order to perform appropriate evaluations of voice speech quality degradation, there have been various studies and proposals for packet-based voice communications []- []. For example, PSQM (Perceptual Speech Quality Measurement) and PSQM+, which can generate a perceptual distortion level for each voice frame, have been adopted as ITU-T Recommendation P.86 for assessing voice speech quality [],[6]. In addition, PESQ (Perceptual Evaluation of Speech Quality) has been also standardized as Recommendation P.86 in ITU-T [7], [8]. However, especially for interactive communications, the QoS level of packet-based voice network systems depends on many factors such as end-to-end delay, so estimating the speech quality level only is not enough for executing the end-to-end evaluations. To account for compound factors in estimating the QoS level of the end-to-end network system, the E-model, which can deal with several QoS-related factors including the voice speech quality and end-to-end delay, has also been proposed [9]. The E-model-based method is effective for evaluating the QoS level of VoIP communications, because it can deal with several QoS-related factors including the speech quality level and end-to-end delay. However, this method outputs only the calculated QoS value, and the position of each factor in the result and the correlation of results among other QoS levels cannot be efficiently displayed. Therefore, a QoS level mapping technique that can show multilateral aspects of the QoS evaluation is required. In addition, when some of the components for its calculation cannot be obtained, it does not necessarily provide appropriate outputs, meaning that its applicability is limited in evaluating the QoS level in real network environments. Incidentally, a self-organization-based mapping model [0], [] is an effective tool that can clarify the relative relationships in high-dimensional input data. Based on this method, nonlinear statistical relationships in highdimensional data can be converted into a two-dimensional space, while preserving the metric and topological relationships of the input data. As a result, this mapping model can be used to evaluate and categorize the relative relationships of high-dimensional input data. This paper describes a QoS mapping of VoIP communications for objective evaluations in real environments. To totally take into account the effects of several QoS-related factors, we used a self-organizing neural network, which can map high-dimensional data into simple geometric relationships on a low-dimensional display. Section two shows the basic flows of the QoS mapping and evaluations for VoIP communications. Section three presents case studies using several parameters such as PSQM+ and end-to-end delay for three VoIP systems. Section four summarizes the results of this paper and mentions on further studies for this subejects. II. QoS evaluation of VoIP communication using self-organizing mapping A. Flow of self-organization [0],[] The self-organizing algorithm can calculate multidimensional parameters so that they optimally denote the domain, in which the relationships of primary data are preserved topologically. In this paper, a two-dimensional map is employed to model the QoS level of VoIP communications. The basic training process of the self-organization model is defined as
2 m i (t+) = m i (t) + h c(x),i (x(t) m i (t)) () where m is the weight vector, x is the input vector, h c(x),i is the neighborhood function, i is the node number of an output layer, and t is the regression step index. The concept of this self-organizing map is shown in Fig., where the n-dimensional vector x is projected onto the output layer. In this process, the input vector x is compared with all m i, and the subscript c(x) is defined by the Euclidean condition x m c = min{ x m i }, () i where m c is the winner that best matches x. Here, the initial value of m i is set to random value, and the Gaussian type neighborhood function can be given by h c(x),i =α(t) exp{ r i r c / σ (t) }, () where 0 < α(t) < is the learning rate parameter, r i R and r c R are the vertical locations on the grid, and σ(t) corresponds to the width of the neighborhood function. Also, assuming that T is the total training number, α(t) and σ(t) can be defined as α(t) = α ( t / T) () σ(t) = σ(t) + {σ σ(t)}( t / T). () The procedure of this training process can be described as follows; (a) Initialize m i to a random value, (b) Input x(t), one at a time, (c) Calculate eq.(), and find m c, (d) Calculate eq.() using eqs.() - (), (e) Repeat from (b). Output layer neighborhood radius is set to a small value to fine-tune the map. B. Application to QoS mapping of VoIP communications The concept of QoS evaluation of VoIP network communications is shown in Fig., where the input data for training the self-organizing map can be given by the target VoIP communication condition. In this training, two categories of variables are input into the self-organizing map: one is the QoS-related parameters and the other is the system identifiers that indicate the basic system performance level and properties. As for the QoS-related parameters, we focus on two aspects for both the voice speech level and the delay impairment, and select PSQM+ and end-to-end delay as input variables to the self-organizing map. Incidentally, the packet loss is a major source of speech impairment in VoIP communications, and is a very important parameter that shows the degree of loss patterns on the voice speech quality. Therefore, to supplement QoS evaluations, the packet loss rate is also employed as an input variable to the self-organizing map. In this paper, in terms of the QoSrelated input parameters to the self-organization map, three parameters --- PSQM+, end-to-end delay, and packet loss rate --- were measured in a real environment, and they were used to evaluate the total QoS level among other conditions.

Self-organizing map Training Fig. Concept of QoS evaluation procedure for VoIP communication (GW: gateway). To raise the training efficiency, the algorithm is performed in two phases. In the first phase, a relatively large initial neighborhood radius is used to tune the map approximately. Then, in the second phase, the initial On the other hand, as for the system identifiers that correspond to the basic system specifications, we use the PSQM+ for no background load conditions between the originating and terminating VoIP gateways, which can be
3 regarded as the standard PSQM+ for each system. The QoS level of VoIP communications depends on network system factors such as the kind of codec, and inputting the standard PSQM+ helps to map target data when some of the input variables are lost. To obtain the standard PSQM+ as an input variable, we directly connect the originating and terminating gateways via a switch and measure it for no background data conditions. By inputting the measured QoS-related parameters and system identifiers to the self-organizing map, we can map the QoS level of VoIP communications on a twodimensional space. III. Case study A. Setup for training data The test-bed for measuring QoS-related parameters is shown in Fig., where both a LAN (00 Base-T) and the Internet are used as transmission networks. In this measurement setup, three types of VoIP gateways (GWs) were used, and we define the connection patterns as : GW- to-gw as System, GW-to-GW as System, and GW- to-gw (PC-to-PC using VoIP communication software) as System. As for the transmission network, the LAN was used for Systems and, both the LAN and Internet were used for System, and the bandwidth of access lines between the Internet and VoIP gateways was 8kbps. GW GW GW Source signal Originating side R SW Voice measuring device Packet loss generator LAN Internet GW GW GW When measuring QoS-related parameters of PSQM+ and the end-to-end delay for these systems, voice sample data [], based on ITU-T Recommendation P.800 [], was transmitted. After the voice sample data was sent from the originating gateway to the terminating one, the source and transmitted voice signals were compared, and then the values of PSQM+ were calculated by a voice measuring device. In this calculation, the time-averaged results of all PSQM+ for each frame of 6 ms were calculated across the voice sample files (five files in Japanese language, each s long). The end-to-end delays were also measured by SW Transmitted signal Terminating side Fig. Test-bed for measuring QoS related parameters (GW: gateway, SW: switch, R: router). R comparing the leading parts of transmitted and received voice signals. Here, the mesurement condition for three VoIP systems and the voice sample data used is shown in Table. Incidentally, for the measurements in the LAN, two conditions were employed: for one, there was no other background data in the network and for the other, there was. In the case when there was no other background load in the LAN, the packet loss based on the Poisson distribution was generated at the transmission network part by a packet loss generator. Furthermore, we also confirmed that the processing time caused by the switch was less than ms for these VoIP systems. Item System setup Voice file Table Measurement setup Condition (a) Voice packet sending period - System : 0 ms - System : 0 ms - System : 0 ms (b) Type of codec G.79, G.7 - Language : Japanese - Time length : s B. Training with measured data Examples of measured PSQM+ and end-to-end delay for no background load in the LAN are shown in Fig., where measured values of five voice files were averaged for each system. Here, the packet loss rates were set in the ranges of 0 to 9%, and both PSQM+ and end-to-end delay were measured for three systems. Fig.(a) shows that PSQM+ tended to increase with the packet loss rate for both G.7 and G.79, and the order of voice quality level was Systems,, and. Also, Fig.(b) shows that the end-to-end delays tended to increase in the order of Systems,, and, and the processing speed using G.7 was almost the same as that for G.79. Figure shows examples of measured PSQM+ and endto-end delay when there was background data in the transmission network (both the LAN and the Internet). The values of packet loss rates were not measured in these cases, meaning that the trainings were performed without this variable. From Fig., we confirmed that the QoS levels for both PSQM+ and end-to-end delay were degraded when there was other background data in the transmission network. Based on measured data in Figs. and, the training was performed to evaluate the QoS level of VoIP communications for three systems. In this process, a rectangle was used as the map topology type, and the map size was set to 8 8. Here, we set the total training number to 000.

In addition, for the neighborhood radius, initial value σ and final value σ(t) in the first phase were set to and, while the values in the second phase were and respectively.

C. Evaluation Figure 6 shows a visualization result projected onto twodimensional domain, in which the axes are set as x and y. The results for Fig. 6 are as follows; - The longer the distance from the left-bottom points became, the more PSQM+ tended to increase, meaning that the voice quality level tended to decrease with increases in x and y. - The left part corresponds to the domain where the end-toend delay level was relatively low, and the right upper part is equivalent to the domain where end-to-end delay was highest. - The packet loss rate tended to increase along the y-axis, so we estimate that the voice quality level tended to degrade along the y-axis. y (9) (9) (9) (9) (9) (9) () () x () () : System [G.7], : System [G.79] : System [G.7], : System [G.79] : System [G.7], : System [G.79] ( ) : Numerical value represents packet loss rate : via the LAN which has background load : via the Internet Fig. 6 Visualization result of the training data. As shown in Fig. 6, the shorter the distance from the left bottom became, the higher the total QoS level of VoIP communications tended to become. For lecture-type () ()
5 communications, in which interactive conversation scene is not necessary, however, the priority of the end-to-end delay factor can be sometimes low, so the mapping position may be allowed to shift to the right side in two-dimensional space. Our method can deal with multi-dimensional QoSrelated parameters and project the results onto a twodimensional space, so we can effectively evaluate the positioning of QoS level for each condition composed of several variables. IV. Conclusion This paper proposed a QoS mapping method of VoIP network communications for real network environments. To totally take account of the effects of several QoS-related factors, we used the self-organizing neural network, which can map high-dimensional data into simple geometric relationships on a low-dimensional display. By employing a self-organizing training scheme, we showed that our method can combine multi-dimensional QoS-related parameters and project the results onto a two-dimensional space, so that we can effectively evaluate the positioning of QoS level for each condition composed of several variables. In this training, two categories of variables were input into the self-organization map: the QoS-related parameters and the system identifiers that indicate the system performance level and properties. In terms of the QoSrelated input parameters to the self-organizing map, we measured three parameters --- PSQM+, end-to-end delay, and packet loss rate --- in the test-bed, and used them to evaluate the total QoS level. On the other hand, as system identifiers that correspond to the basic system specifications, we used the PSQM+ for no background load between the originating and terminating VoIP gateways, which can be regarded as a standard PSQM+ for each system. Evaluation results confirmed that our method effectively evaluates total the QoS level composed of several QoS-related factors. We also confirmed that this method can deal with input data that lacks one of its variables, and can help to estimate its unknown QoS level. Future study will include QoS evaluations of input data using other QoS-related variables, further evaluations of precision and applicability in real environments, and application to other multimedia communications.
