Speech Coders – a VoIP perspective Roar HagenCTO SIP/email: roar.hagen@ Agenda Speech Coders – a VoIP perspective Demo QA QoS – (endpoints) status”A lot of talk, ... but not much work” Year after year the same story More then 3000 papers since 1984 Limited ToS support at the end points QoS – statusIndustry’s perspective Background - Diverse Environment Packet Loss San Francisco – Hong Kong Jitter San Francisco – Hong Kong Homg Kong to China VoIP Call Wireless VoIP – The Big Unknown ? Approach We need holistic view/approach for both Horizontal (end-to-end) perspective Vertical (top-down) perspective Vertical (Top Down) Perspective VoIP Aspirations IP innovation rather than PSTN replication New features and services through voice and data convergence End-to-end IP Better than PSTN sound quality Current speech processing technology not designed for packet switched environments …congestion related VoIP QoS problems can be solved without over provisioning… Jitter Buffer/PLC Enhancements Delay gain with NetEQ?approx. 30-60ms compared to traditional jitter buffers The NextGen Speech Codec Ideal Need one concept that will work for a long time footprint importance Need to handle large diversity of transport network low rate high quality, high rate packet loss jitter low delay Manageable IPR situation Signal Robustness speech music Suitable for variety of applications, e.g. IP video-conferencing iLBC (internet Low Bitrate Codec) Speech sampled at 8 kHZ, using a block-independent linear-predictive coding (LPC) algorithm. Bandwidth 13.867 kbps (52 bytes per 30 ms) Frame size 30 ms (support for 20 ms in the next revision) Complexity and memory requirements are similar to ITU G.729A Basic Quality is equal to or better than G.729. Packet loss robustness is significantly better than G.729. Packet loss concealment - Integrated example solution MOS Results iLBC - IETF work IETF deliverables, submitted during February ‘02: iLBC codec specification draft - exper
