In this chapter, the authors propose an algorithm for packet loss concealment (PLC) in transmission over IP-based networks with high packet loss rate. The algorithm is a sender-receiver-based extension of ANSI T1.521a Annex B PLC standard for G.711 voice codec. It consists in adding to a transmitted packet redundant parameters describing speech signal in another packet. Efficiency of the proposed algorithm was verified using subjective Absolute Category Rating (ACR) method and objective PESQ algorithm, and compared with original ANSI T1.521a Annex B standard. The intelligibility of speech was assessed using Semantically Unpredictable Sentences (SUS) tests. For high packet loss rates, all assessment methods proved superiority of the proposed algorithm over the original ANSI standard. The ACR tests showed that the proposed method can maintain speech quality above 3 in MOS scale even for packet loss rates of 20%-25%.
