6、dation ITU-T P.1305 Effect of delays on telemeeting quality Summary Recommendation ITU-T P.1305 has the primary purpose of describing the impact of echo-free transmission delays on telemeeting quality of experience (QoE). Delay has a major impact on the interaction performance of conference particip

7、ants, but is not always explicitly noticed by them; its impact being commonly attributed to other participants behaviour rather than being a system feature. Before discussing the impact of the delays, it is useful to first consider how people behave when conversing in an ideal environment. Since thi

8、s has been well studied in the linguistic discipline of conversation analysis (CA), a short discussion of conversations in that context and a discussion on the impact of delay from a CA perspective is included. Some analysis based on the alternative technique of conversation surface structures is al

9、so included. A secondary purpose of this Recommendation is to provide guidance on appropriate testing methods for evaluating the effect of delay in telemeetings.

11、REWORD The International Telecommunication Union (ITU) is the 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 studyi

12、ng technical, operating and tariff questions and issuing Recommendations 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

13、 which, in turn, produce Recommendations on these topics. The 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

14、 and IEC. NOTE In this Recommendation, the expression “Administration“ 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

15、 (to ensure, e.g., interoperability or applicability) and compliance 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 w

16、ords does not suggest that compliance with the Recommendation is required of any party. INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTSITU 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 co

ITU-T P.1305 (07/2016) 1 Recommendation ITU-T P.1305 Effect of delays on telemeeting quality 1 Scope This Recommendation has the primary purpose of

26、 describing the impact of echo-free transmission delays on telemeeting quality of experience (QoE). Delay is special amongst communication impairments in that it can have a major impact on how well the users interact, but very often without them being explicitly aware of its presence. Typically user

27、s comment on its impact (e.g., “we kept on interrupting each other“) or assume a delayed response is due to the other participants taking a long time to respond. Consequently its impact is not always captured in conversational-opinion tests. Crucially the impact has been shown to be highly dependent

28、 on the task or activity being undertaken. The focus in this Recommendation is therefore on the human factor its purpose is not to define specific quantitative limits or values, discuss the sources of delay or to discuss methods of delay measurement or methods to reduce its impact. Before discussing

29、 the impact of the delays, it is useful to first consider how people behave when conversing in an ideal environment. Since this has been well studied in the linguistic discipline of conversation analysis (CA), a short discussion of conversations in that context and a discussion on the impact of dela

30、y from a CA perspective is included. Some analysis based on the alternative technique of conversation surface structures is also included. A secondary purpose of this Recommendation is to provide guidance on appropriate testing methods. A number of these have already been described in Annex D of ITU

31、-T P.1301 and will not be repeated here. However, there have been a number of new developments since that recommendation came into force and it is appropriate to expand on that knowledge. 2 References The following ITU-T Recommendations and other references contain provisions which, through referenc

37、lsewhere This Recommendation uses the following terms defined elsewhere: 3.1.1 telemeeting ITU-T P.1301: A meeting in which participants are located at least two locations and the communication takes place via a telecommunication system. The term telemeeting is used to emphasize that a meeting is of

38、ten more flexible and interactive than a conventional business teleconference and could also be a private meeting. The telemeeting could be audio-only, audiovisual, text-based, or a mix of these modes. 3.1.2 conversational quality ITU-T P.1301: The perceived quality when two or more test participant

39、s have a conversation. 3.1.3 two-party ITU-T P.1301: Two persons. Example: Two persons are participating in a telemeeting, having a conversation, performing a test task together, etc. If not explicitly stated differently, two-party implicates that the persons are at two locations. 3.1.4 multiparty I

40、TU-T P.1301: More than two persons. Example: More than two persons are participating in a telemeeting, having a conversation, performing a test task together, etc. The term multiparty does not specify if the persons are distributed across two or more locations. If not explicitly stated differently,

41、multiparty implicates that the persons are at two or more than two locations. When further specification is necessary, additional terms will be used (see point-to-point and multi-point) or the number of locations will be explicitly stated. 3.1.5 point-to-point ITU-T P.1301: Two locations. Example: A

42、 multiparty point-to-point telemeeting means that more than two interlocutors are taking part, and the interlocutors are at exactly two locations. That means that in one location more than one interlocutors are present, as there are more than two persons. 3.1.6 multi-point ITU-T P.1301: More than tw

43、o locations. Example: A multiparty multi-point telemeeting means that more than two interlocutors are taking part, and the interlocutors are located across more than two locations. Multi-point does not specify if one or more than one interlocutor may be present at each location. In the special case

44、that only one person is present at each location, the term one-per-site will be used. 3.1.7 one-per-site ITU-T P.1301: One person per connected location. Example: In a multiparty one-per-site telemeeting more than two sites are connected with only one person present at each site. 3.1.8 conversation

45、analysis (CA) b-Sacks, 1974: The study of social interaction, in particular focusing on conversations. 3.1.9 turn construction unit (TCU) b-Sacks, 1974: A conversation analysis term describing the fundamental segment of speech in a conversation essentially a piece of speech that constitutes an entir

46、e turn. 3.1.10 transition relevance place (TRP) b-Sacks, 1974: A conversation analysis term which indicates where a turn or floor exchange can take place between speakers. Rec. ITU-T P.1305 (07/2016) 3 3.1.11 system effectiveness ITU-T P.1312: The ratio, expressed as a percentage, between the perfor

47、mance score achieved on a given system and the performance score obtained in face-to-face communication. 3.2 Terms defined in this Recommendation This Recommendation defines the following terms: 3.2.1 choral behaviour: Many people doing the same thing at the same time. 3.2.2 phatic expression: An ex

48、pression whose function is part of social interaction rather than to convey information. 4 Abbreviations and acronyms This Recommendation uses the following abbreviations and acronyms: CA Conversation Analysis MOS Mean Opinion Score QoE Quality of Experience QoS Quality of Service TCU Turn Construct
