TrueVoice, Voice Quality Assurance


Voice Quality

As the telecommunication industry changes and new technologies and services are added – maintaining basic quality of voice services becomes increasingly complex. Voice quality is now an important differentiating factor for network operators. Measuring voice quality in a relatively inexpensive, reliable, and objective way becomes very important. NetScan offers such a solution.

N

Real-time 24/7, continues network monitoring, processing and data analysis.

N

VoTA and VoQA modules provides real-time and historic metrics for voice communication over various interfaces in mobile and VoIP networks.

N

VoTA module estimates voice quality based on RTP protocol analysis.

N

VoQA module measure voice quality based on decoded voice advanced waveform analysis.


Voice Quality Analysis

N

Voice quality analysis requires parallel processing of CP and UP.

N

Voice quality can be analysed based on transport layer analysis or directly on decoded voice processing.

N

Voice quality metrics are correlated with call-record and aggregated per node, group of nodes, destination etc.


VoQA Voice Waveform Processing

N

Quality scoring based directly on decoded voice analysis.

N

Estimates true quality of voice communication as per ITU-T recommendation P.563.

N

Embeded unique quality estimation algorithm PVQA provided by SEVANA.

N

All major voice codecs are supported G.711, G.722, G.723.1, G.726, G.729, GSM FR, GSM HR, AMR NB, AMR WB, iLBC , Speex.


VoTA Transport Layer Analysis

N

Voice quality analysis based on assumption that transport network is the primary source for voice quality distortions.

N

Quality estimated based on transport protocol (RTP) analysis.

N

Method specified in ITU-T G.107 and later with G.107-1 (for wideband codecs).


System Architecture

N

nScan monitors relevant control protocol (BSSMAP, RANAP, SIP, etc.) and detects new audio stream is opened. It retrieves information how it will be transported and which codec will be used.

N

Detected audio streams are now buffered and sampled based on configured sampling policy.

N

Audio samples are decoded and processed to detect impairments and estimate quality.

N

Results are correlated with relevant network elements (cells, media gateways) and sessions to store in Data Base.
