Abstract

With the popularity of VoIP, Push-To-Talk (PTT) services over the IP networks have gained their momentum. This research aims at essential design issues for the quality of service of PTT services. We explore the relationship between the speech quality and system design issues. MOS (Mean Opinion Score), which is raised by the ITU-T (International Telecommunication Union) as one of the most common benchmarks, is studied under factors in system designs and implementations. In particular, we focus on the analysis of packet delay, jitter, and packet loss for PTT services. Experiments are designed and executed with the considerations of PTT characteristics. Our goal is to provide more understanding of MOS versus PTT and deliver insights in future PTT system designs.
