Abstract:

In order to more accurately evaluate the speech quality in wireless LAN,the existing evaluating methods are analyzed,and an improved evaluation model is then proposed by considering the factors influencing the quality and the features of network simulation.Moreover,the real speech data are transmitted and evaluated via a simulation module.Finally,the mean opinion scores of speech quality in wireless LAN in different conditions are obtained with different playout algorithms.Analytical results show that the playout algorithms greatly affect the speech quality when the network conditions become worse.

Key words: wireless LAN, speech quality, evaluation, playout algorithm
