It has a falling off in speech quality, especially when consecutive packet loss occurs, even if a vocoder implemented in the packet network has its own packet loss concealment (PLC) algorithm. PLC algorithm is divided into transmitter and receiver algorithm. Algorithm in the transmitter gives superior quality by additional information. however it is impossible to provide mutual compatibility and it occurs extra delay and transmission rate. The method applied in the receiver does not require additional delay. However, it sets limits to improve the speech quality. In this paper, we propose a new method that puts extra information for PLC in a part of Extension Header Data which is not used in RTP Header. It can solve the problem and obtain enhanced speech quality. There is no extra delay occurred by the proposed algorithm because there is a jitter buffer to adjust network delay in a receiver. Extra information, 16 bits each frame for G.729 PLC, is allocated for MA filter index in LP synthesis, excitation signal, excitation signal gain and residual gain reconstruction. It is because a transmitter sends speech data each 20 ms when it transfers RTP payload. As a result, the proposed method shows superior performance about 13.5%.

In airport terminal, aural information is transmitted during 24 hours a day including announcement, background music and emergency control. So, clear sound is mostly necessary to transmitted to the passengers in airports. IIA (Incheon International Airport) is one of the largest airports accommodating 45 million people a year which have been built since 2001. There are currently three passenger terminals including Terminal 1 & 2, and boarding concourse. The $2^{nd}$ passenger terminal is under construction to expand the spaces which will be finished in 2020. The present work aims to explain the design principles of both architectural acoustics and electo-acoustics which have been applied to all the terminal buildings in IIA including ticketing counter, great hall, departure concourse and transportation center. Also, the acoustical performances of those spaces were examined. As a result, acoustic standards for airport were suggested. Architectural concepts for designing ceiling spaces and sound absorption treatments were suggested. Also, electro-acoustic design principles were commented.
