5、thod for calculating loudness ratings mainly in the case of local telephone systems which transmit a band of frequencies not exceeding about 180-4500 Hz. The purpose of using loudness ratings for telephone sets is two-fold: first, to provide the transmission planner with an adequate measure of how t

Therefore, to avoid confusion, this version of this Recommendation contains only those telephone set loudness ratings which are of interest for these purposes. The current revision of ITU-T Recommendatio

7、n P.79 is intended to clarify the application fields for Annexes A and G. This Recommendation incorporates in Annex A the description of narrow-band loudness ratings which is applicable for narrow-band and “dual-mode“ narrow-band/wideband end-to-end transmission, including terminals. Annex G is inte

8、nded to apply only for end-to-end wide-band transmission (100 Hz to 7 kHz) between wideband terminals. Source ITU-T Recommendation P.79 was approved on 13 November 2007 by ITU-T Study Group 12 (2005-2008) under the ITU-T Recommendation A.8 procedure. ii ITU-T Rec. P.79 (11/2007) FOREWORD The Interna

9、tional 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 studying technical, oper

10、ating 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 which, in turn, p

11、roduce 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 and IEC. NOTE In

12、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 (to ensure e.g. i

13、nteroperability 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 words does not sugges

P.79 (11/2007) 1 ITU-T Recommendation P.79 Calculation of loudness ratings for telephone sets 1 Scope This Recommendation describes the preferred metho

22、d for calculating loudness ratings in the following cases: Narrow-band local telephone systems (which transmit a band of frequencies not exceeding about 180-4500 Hz). “Dual-Mode“ narrow-band/wideband end-to-end transmissions, including terminals, (respectively 300-3400 Hz and 100-7000 Hz). Wide-band

23、 only end-to-end transmission (100 Hz to 7 kHz) between wide-band terminals. The purpose of using loudness ratings for telephone sets is two-fold: first, to provide the transmission planner with an adequate measure of how the sets perform in the network; second, to enable valid and unambiguous compa

24、rison between sets. Therefore, to avoid confusion, this version of this Recommendation contains only those telephone set loudness ratings which are of interest for these purposes. Annex A contains the fundamental principles of loudness rating calculations and explains the relations between ITU-T P.7

25、6, ITU-T P.78 and this Recommendation as well as the physical basis of this Recommendation. Annex B explains the fundamental concept of the sidetone masking rating (STMR) used for evaluation of the talkers sidetone. Annex C gives an alternative form of the loudness rating algorithm which is useful f

26、or estimating the relative importance of how the sensitivity in different frequency bands influences the loudness rating value. Annex D provides, as a reference only, Wi-weights for OLR, SLR and RLR over the wider band 100-8000 Hz. Annex E describes how the listeners sidetone factor D can be determi

27、ned. Annex F shows how the sidetone sensitivity SmeSTcan be computed from the send and receive sensitivity and impedance data. Annex G gives a set of W weights suitable for the calculation of sending and receiving loudness ratings of wideband (100 to 7000 Hz) only terminals. 2 References The followi

35、ess rating parameters for telephone sets are of interest: send loudness rating (SLR); receive loudness rating (RLR). For 2-wire sets, SLR and RLR are to be determined for an appropriate range of feeding currents and subscriber cables. The talkers sidetone is characterized by the sidetone masking rat

36、ing (STMR), usually determined for a representative range of terminations. The listeners sidetone is characterized by the listeners sidetone rating (LSTR), which is a characterization of the room noise picked up via the electric sidetone path. However, in transmission planning it is often more usefu

37、l to evaluate listeners sidetone performance of a set indirectly by the difference: D = LSTR STMR D is a parameter of the telephone set which is independent of the termination. Therefore, the formulae for calculation of D are given in Annex E. ITU-T Rec. P.79 (11/2007) 3 5 General algorithm for loud

38、ness rating calculations The general algorithm for calculation of loudness ratings (LRs) is of the form: ()=211.01010log10NNiWSmiimLR (5-1) where: m a constant (in the order of 0.2). The summation is to be performed at frequencies Fi, spaced 1/3 octave apart. Wiweighting coefficient (different for t

39、he various LRs). Sithe sensitivity at frequency Fiof the electro-acoustic path under consideration. NOTE 1 Siis to be determined by the methods described in ITU-T P.64 for analogue 2-wire handsets. Digital sets are measured according to clause B.6 of ITU-T P.310 and hands-free sets according to clau

40、se 4.5.1 of ITU-T P.340. NOTE 2 One can also use the designation “electro-acoustic loss“ Li= Si. NOTE 3 When calculating SLR and RLR, one must only include those parts of the frequency band where an actual signal transmission can occur in order to ensure that the additivity property of LRs is retain

41、ed. Therefore, only the frequency band 200-4000 Hz is used. 6 Calculation of SLR and RLR In Equation 5-1, m = 0.175. The weighting coefficients Wsiand Wriare given in Table 1.

43、ecommendation in the CCITT Blue Book, Vol. V, to allow for the change in loudness of the IRS over the reduced bandwidth. 4 ITU-T Rec. P.79 (11/2007) The Si-values apply as follows. For SLR from the artificial mouth to an (equivalent) 600-ohm electrical interface: Si= SmJ (Fi) (6-1) For RLR from an (

44、equivalent) 600-ohm electrical interface to the artificial ear, including a consideration of the earcap leakage LE: Si= SJe(Fi) LE(Fi) (6-2) Normally, the receive sensitivity is measured with the artificial ear acoustically sealed to the earcap (see ITU-T P.64). If the earcap is of a conventional sh

45、ape and the receiver is somewhat similar to the type used in the IRS, the LE-values in Table 2 are to be used.

(See also ITU-T P.57.) Also for hands-free telephones, LE= 0. 7 Calculation of STMR In Equation 5-1, m = 0.225

47、. The weighting coefficients WMSIare given in Table 3. The Si-values apply from the artificial mouth to the artificial ear (for the same set) via the electric sidetone path, caused by impedance mismatches for analogue 2-wire sets or a designed bridging circuit between send and receive for digital se

48、ts. Si= SmeST (Fi) (7-1) NOTE Most often the sidetone measuring set-up consists of an unloaded subscriber line (or its electrical equivalent) terminated by a physical, nominal impedance which may be complex. Then the curve SmeST(f) can be adequately represented by the frequency points spaced 1/3 oct

49、ave apart. However, if the termination consists of a 2-wire port of a digital exchange, the sidetone response SmeST(f) may vary very rapidly with frequency, so that the 1/3-octave spacing is too coarse. This happens when the loss through the exchange is low and there are strong reflections at the other 2-wire port of the connection. In this case, a talker would notice both sidetone and echo so that a formal calculation of STMR is less relevant. ITU-T Rec. P.79 (11/2007) 5 Table 3 Weighting f
