Abstract
An quality testing apparatus and method for providing an objective and real-time evaluation of voice quality in a wireless communication system. The system under evaluation would include a receiving and transmitting apparatus at both ends of the system. To evaluate voice quality, one apparatus transmits a TDM base band voice test signal to a receiving apparatus. The configuration of the transmitted TDM base band voice test signal permits the receiving end to synchronize a test sentence, contained within the TDM test signal, with a corresponding reference sentence stored at the receiving apparatus. After synchronization, the receiving apparatus uses a model of human hearing to objectively compare the two sentences, and based on the result, outputs an AQS ranking. In addition to voice quality, the apparatus measures SINAD, noise, distortion, and signal level of transmitted test tones and maintains a log of call progress statistics.
