Abstract

Whether or not voice calls of traditional quality can be supported between two users connected to an IP backbone via satellite access systems depends largely on the mouth-to-ear delay, an important part of which is consumed by the satellite networks themselves. In this paper, a methodology is developed to calculate upper bounds for the latter delay component as a function of the used codec, the experienced packet loss ratio, the echo levels at both sides of the connection and the chosen voice packet size.
