Assessment and Prediction of Speech Quality in Telecommunications

The book delves into the multifaceted nature of telecommunication voice service quality, emphasizing the intersection of perceived and expected characteristics. It presents a classification of factors influencing service quality, including conversational and user-related aspects. A real-time simulation model is developed to manipulate key transmission parameters, aiding planners in predicting mouth-to-ear quality before network implementation. Additionally, the text examines two established models, SUBMOD and E-model, focusing on their psychoacoustic and psychophysical foundations.
