Theestimator of the speech loss probability, Pie, is the ratio of accumulated transmission interruption duration to the totalobservation

11、istics of transmission interruptions. Those parameters should be easy to observe from the practical point ofview. Actually it seems very difficult to measure very short duration of transmission interruptions in analogue networksand to separate interruptions from burst errors in digital networks.3 Ov

The distribution curve is well approximate

18、speech loss probability and its estimationThe following relationship exists between the speech loss probability (Pi) and its estimator (Pie):lim lim =TPTTDTPie kkKi =1if such limit exists and where T is the observation period of time and TDkis the duration of the k th transmissioninterruption of K t

19、ransmission interruptions over TIt should be noted that there is also the following relationship:PMIDMTBIiiiiL=+=11where, MIDi is the mean time duration of transmission interruption caused by the i th component of a telephoneconnection and MTBIi is the mean time between interruptions caused by the i

20、 th component of the connection, underthe assumption that the transmission interruption duration and the time between transmission interruptions areexponentially distributed (see also Figure B-1/E.855).ANNEX C(to Recommendation E.855)Quality of speech impaired by short interruptionsC.1 MeasureThe su

21、bjective opinion is used as a measure to assess or evaluate speech quality impaired by short interruptionswith durations shorter than 1 s.C.2 Measuring methodRecommendation P.77 was applied for this subjective evaluation with five grade opinion scores (Excellent = 4,Good = 3, Satisfactory = 2, Poor

22、= 1 and Unacceptable = 0). The test procedure was comprised of a 40-second text taperecorded in Japanese spoken by a female, which was listened to by 20 test subjects through indoor test circuits with atransmission interruption generator.6 Fascicle II.3 - Rec. E.855C.3 Test resultsThe relationship b

23、etween frequency and duration of transmission interruptions for a given Mean Opinion Score(MOS) is depicted in Figure C-1/E.855.The dotted line in this figure shows the locus of “frequency duration = 0.5%” which is considered as apermissible limit of the freeze out rate or the percentage of speech loss for designing Digital Speech Interpolation (DSI)and Time Assignment Speech Interpolation (TASI) equipment.Note The product of frequency and duration of the short interruption is identical to P = MID /(MTBI +MID) in Annex B.
