Abstract
A method for operating a packet voice transceiver is disclosed. An embodiment of the present invention may compute one or more voice quality metrics during a voice call by using operational statistics that are generated or collected by packet voice transceiver functional elements. Based upon one or more values of the voice quality metric(s), it may modify system operation to optimize voice quality, and may log behavioral and performance information locally or transmit it to a remote location. Another embodiment of the present invention may include machine-readable storage having stored thereon a computer program having a plurality of code sections executable by a machine for causing the machine to perform the foregoing.
Claims26
A method of operating a packet voice transceiver, the method comprising:
- collecting at least two statistics related to a packet voice call;
- and
- calculating at least one voice quality metric using the at least two statistics.
A method of operating a packet voice transceiver, the method comprising:
- collecting at least one statistic related to a packet voice call;
- calculating at least one voice quality metric using the at least one statistic;
- and
- modifying the operation of the packet voice transceiver based upon the value of the at least one voice quality metric.
A machine-readable storage, having stored thereon a computer program having a plurality of code sections for implementing a packet voice transceiver, the code sections executable by a machine for causing the machine to perform the operations comprising:
- collecting at least one statistic related to a packet voice call;
- calculating at least one voice quality metric using the at least one statistic;
- and
- modifying the operation of the packet voice transceiver based upon the value of the at least one voice quality metric.
