The mouth-to-ear delay bounds that can be tolerated for undistorted voice are well known and standardized in the ITU-T Recommendations. In this paper, similar delay bounds are determined for voice that is transported in compressed form over an IP network. More precisely, the dependency of these bounds on the low bit rate codecs used, the amount of echo control performed and the way the IP network is accessed, is investigated in detail.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
