Toward QoS Management of VoIP: Experimental Investigation of the Relations between IP Network Performances and VoIP Speech Quality
Summary :
This paper investigates the relations between IP network performances and the speech quality of the Voice over IP (VoIP) service through extensive experiments on a test bed network. The aim is to establish an effective and practical methodology for telecommunications operators to manage the quality of VoIP service via the management of IP network performances under their control. As IP network performances, utilization of the bottleneck link in the test bed and the following statistical factors of VoIP packets are examined: the standard deviation of delay variations (jitters), the standard deviation of packet interarrival times, and the packet loss ratio. On the other hand, VoIP speech quality is monitored as the Perceptual Evaluation of Speech Quality (PESQ). To investigate the relations under various network conditions, the experiments are performed by varying the following network related parameters of the test bed: the bandwidth of the bottleneck link, the size of the bottleneck buffer, the propagation delay, and the average of the data sizes transmitted as background data traffic. Statistical analyses of the experimental results suggest that managing the standard deviation of jitters in a network serves as a promising methodology, because its close relation to VoIP speech quality possesses robustness to changes in the network conditions. The robustness makes it practically useful since telecommunications operators can apply it to their networks, which are subject to change. The findings in this paper have opened up new visions for telecommunications operators to manage the Quality of Service (QoS) of VoIP service.
