Estimating Speech Quality
The mean opinion score (MOS) is a commonly used method to determine the quality of speech. Every codec has a certain speech quality characteristics. With MOS, the quality of a speech is rated on a scale of 1 (bad) to 5 (excellent).
Recently. the speech quality estimates are based on the ITU G.107 E Model. These models considered the entire Ear-Mouth path and all relevant conditions such as end-to-end level, echo, side tone, and frequency characteristics of the various path segments.
The E Model uses a computational method that includes factors such as noise, signal level, loudness ratings, impairments, delay, codec type, and even network type to derive a quality score. This transmission quality rating is called as the ‘R’ factor. Over time and based on experience with subjective and objective measurements, the E Model's R-Factor score was mapped to an equivalent Mean Opinion Score (Excellent to Bad) to predict the quality of the “mouth to ear” (M2E) speech path. Scoring includes consideration for the type of subjective test used for scoring. Passive/listening or active/conversational tests produce slightly different scores.
For IP networks, the score assumes ideal conditions outside the IP cloud and bases the scores on the relevant IP impairments such as packet loss, latency, jitter, and even when these impairments occur over the duration of the call.
