Summary:
We present a quantitative evaluation of speech quality using the multiplexing scheme for the efficient transmission of voice signals in order to reduce the number of the IP packets carrying voice signals (called VoIP packets) transferred. The multiplexing scheme is applicable to a variety of media gateways controlling the bulk of voice streams over IP-based networks, based on VoIP technology. We speculated that the multiplexing scheme would reduce the degradation of speech quality due to packet loss since it also has a similar effect to interleaving the voice signal streams. However, the interleaving effect for maintaining speech quality in the scheme characterized by the feature of IP-based multiplication is not quantitatively clear. Through our end-to-end quality evaluation results of speech, as transmitted via the multiplexing scheme using dedicated hardware, we confirm the advantages of the multiplexing scheme from the perspective of achieving improved speech quality without increasing the processing delay when considering practical packet loss conditions within an IP-based network.
