Server System-based networks
Voice quality indicators
Mean opinion score
(MOS)
Quantifies the subjective
quality of speech in
communications
systems from 1 (worst)
to 5 (best)
Jitter
The delay variation
between received IP
packets or ATM cells;
may cause buffer
overflow resulting in
packet or cell loss
Frame erasure ratio
(FER)
The ratio of bad or lost
speech frames to total
transmitted speech
frames; an indicator of
radio connection quality
R-value
Expresses speech
quality from 1 (worst) to
100 (best)
IP packet loss ratio
The ratio of lost IP
packets to total
transmitted IP packets
Noise level
When disturbingly high
is reduced with noise
suppression techniques

Speech levels
Above a specific dynamic
range (e.g., -20 to -15
dBm0) can cause
distortion in transmission
equipment; below, and
noise in the system
becomes unacceptable
Double talk
When one conversant
starts talking before the
other has finished
