9、ion ITU-T G.161.1 defines do-no-harm (DNH) tests for network-based and terminal-based voice quality enhancement (VQE) functions and non-VQE functions. Conventionally, performance specifications are written for telecommunication equipment to specify their performance characteristics in their intended

10、 application. Do-no-harm testing is a concept that has been introduced to specify tests which may be carried out to evaluate situations where the equipment, although meeting its performance specifications in its intended application, may cause some other unexpected performance degradation. Specific

11、DNH tests which relate to “fixed de-jitter buffer operation“ and “long-term media path delay stability“ are described in the annexes of this Recommendation. Where appropriate, these tests are backed up by case studies which are described in the appendices. It is anticipated that additional annexes c

12、overing other DNH scenarios will be added in the future.

14、e United Nations specialized agency in the field of telecommunications, information and communication technologies (ICTs). The ITU Telecommunication Standardization Sector (ITU-T) is a permanent organ of ITU. ITU-T is responsible for studying technical, operating and tariff questions and issuing Rec

15、ommendations on them with a view to standardizing telecommunications on a worldwide basis. The World Telecommunication Standardization Assembly (WTSA), which meets every four years, establishes the topics for study by the ITU-T study groups which, in turn, produce Recommendations on these topics. Th

16、e approval of ITU-T Recommendations is covered by the procedure laid down in WTSA Resolution 1. In some areas of information technology which fall within ITU-Ts purview, the necessary standards are prepared on a collaborative basis with ISO and IEC. NOTE In this Recommendation, the expression “Admin

17、istration“ is used for conciseness to indicate both a telecommunication administration and a recognized operating agency. Compliance with this Recommendation is voluntary. However, the Recommendation may contain certain mandatory provisions (to ensure, e.g., interoperability or applicability) and co

18、mpliance with the Recommendation is achieved when all of these mandatory provisions are met. The words “shall“ or some other obligatory language such as “must“ and the negative equivalents are used to express requirements. The use of such words does not suggest that compliance with the Recommendatio

19、n is required of any party. INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS ITU draws attention to the possibility that the practice or implementation of this Recommendation may involve the use of a claimed Intellectual Property Right. ITU takes no position concerning the evidence, validity or applicability of claimed

20、 Intellectual Property Rights, whether asserted by ITU members or others outside of the Recommendation development process. As of the date of approval of this Recommendation, ITU had not received notice of intellectual property, protected by patents, which may be required to implement this Recommend

21、ation. However, implementers are cautioned that this may not represent the latest information and are therefore strongly urged to consult the TSB patent database at http:/www.itu.int/ITU-T/ipr/.

26、nal-based voice quality enhancement (VQE) functions and non-VQE functions. These tests are applicable to functions used in both fixed and mobile networks and are independent of transport technology (e.g., TDM, ATM and IP). Where necessary, this Recommendation takes into account any similar tests tha

27、t already exist in other Recommendations (e.g., b-ITU-T G.160, b-ITU-T G.168 and b-ITU-T G.169) and is applicable to both stand-alone VQE and non-VQE functions and VQE and non-VQE functions connected in tandem. Where possible, the DNH tests defined in this Recommendation use standardized performance

28、 evaluation criteria (e.g., ITU-T P.862 and b-ITU-T P.863) and cover all possible in-band audio signals including speech, voiceband data and network signalling tones. Each test has a well-defined test configuration and a set of requirements that allow repeatability and consistency of results between

29、 different test laboratories. The following VQE and non-VQE functions are included in the scope for DNH: VQE functions: Echo cancellers including comfort noise injection Noise reduction/cancellation functions Automatic gain/level control Non-VQE functions: De-jitter buffers Codecs Voice activity det

30、ection Silence suppression Other functions which may be included are: Send or ingress (entering the network): Microphone array processing (MAP) High-frequency encoding (HFE) Equalization (EQ) Limiting (LM) Receive or egress (exiting the network): Bandwidth extension (BWE) Equalization (EQ) Noise com

31、pensation (NC; also referred to as ALE) Limiting (LM) This Recommendation provides guidance on how to conduct DNH testing, including case studies, as specific examples. 2 Rec.

NOTE 1 The answering tone is an uninterrupted 2100 15 Hz tone with a duration, except when truncate

38、d as described in clause 4.3 of ITU-T V.25, of 3.3 0.7 s. NOTE 2 Recommendation ITU-T V.8 specifies, for the purpose of starting sessions of data transmission, an amplitude modulated answering tone, ANSam. 3.1.2 de-jitter buffer b-ITU-T G.1020: A buffer designed to remove the delay variation (i.e.,

39、jitter) in packet arrival times. Data is put into the de-jitter buffer at a variable rate (i.e., whenever they are received from the network) and taken out at a constant rate. 3.1.3 phase reversals ITU-T V.25: Reversals (180) in the phase of the answering tone at intervals of 425 to 475 ms. The reve

40、rsal in phase shall be accomplished such that the phase is within 180 10 degrees in 1 ms, and that the amplitude of the answering tone is not more than 3 dB below its steady state value for more than 400 ms. 3.2 Terms defined in this Recommendation This Recommendation defines the following terms: 3.

41、2.1 do-no-harm (DNH): DNH is an attribute of a network-based or terminal-based function which states that if the function is included in the transmission path it does not degrade the performance of the media signal (e.g., speech or voiceband data) as measured using a stated metric. Note that dependi

42、ng on the metric, a tolerance may be necessary to allow some measureable degradation that is not significant for the user or application. For example, if the stated metric for voiceband data is the bit error rate (BER), then the requirement for DNH may be “zero increase in Rec. ITU-T G.161.1 (01/201

43、4) 3 BER when the specified function is enabled“. The stated metrics and their associated DNH tolerances for different media types are for further study. 4 Abbreviations and acronyms This Recommendation uses the following abbreviations and acronyms: ALE Automatic Listener Enhancement ANS Answering t

46、None. 6 General considerations for DNH testing In general, do-no-harm (DNH) testing may be carried out on equipment at several different times in the product life-cycle, and this may require different test equipment and procedures, although for a given test the underlying test methodology should not

47、 change. 1) During product development in the laboratory, including integration of sub-modules into the final product: 4 Rec. ITU-T G.161.1 (01/2014) The main goal of DNH testing at this time is to evaluate certain DNH aspects of the performance of equipment, which should take into account anticipat

48、ed worst-case operational scenarios, and modify the design as necessary. Typically at this stage, some form of network simulator will be used to simulate the expected range of real-life operational parameters. 2) During field-trials, including integration with other equipment in the field, prior to

49、actual in-service operation: The main goal of DNH testing at this time is to confirm certain DNH aspects of the performance of the equipment in a real-world situation, particularly under practical performance conditions which are not always entirely under control, and when integrated with other equipment. 3) During in-service operation The main goal of DNH testing at this time is to diagnose the root cause of performance issue
