METHOD AND DEVICE FOR SPEECH SIGNAL RECONSTRUCTION IN PACKET SWITCHED TELECOMMUNICATION NETWORKS

摘要

The disturbing effects caused by the random delay suffered by the packets in the network are reduced by preventing the first packet of each talkspurt from suffering a random delay lower than a predetermined minimum delay. To this end the delay suffered by the first packet of a talkspurt is estimated and the packet is stored, before being introduced into the output queue of the node, for a time depending on the estimated delay. The delay estimate is made to converge to the actual value by a progressive synchronization of source and receiver clocks.
