Abstract

Frame erasures cause speech quality degradation in wireless communication networks or packet networks. The degradation becomes worse when consecutive frame erasures occur. Speech coders have a frame erasure concealment(FEC) mechanism to compensate for frame erasures. It is meaningful to evaluate the performance of FEC mechanisms for frame erasures that occur in communications networks. In this paper, various frame erasures are designed. And the FEC algorithms of speech coders are evaluated and analyzed with the Perceptual Evaluation of Speech Quality(PESQ). It is found that the performances vary in accordance with frame erasure types, frame erasure rates, and utterance lengths.
