    Abstract: A service request for communication services for communication clients is received. In response, a communication service network is set up to support the communication services. Routing metadata is generated for each of the communication clients. The routing metadata is to be used by each of the communication clients for sharing service quality information with a respective peer communication client over a light-weight peer-to-peer (P2P) network. The routing metadata is downloaded to each of the communication clients. A communication client may exchange service signaling packets or service data packets over the communication service network. When the communication client determines that there is a problematic region in a bitstream received from the communication server, the communication client can request a peer communication client for a service quality information portion related to the problematic region.

    Abstract: Systems and methods for providing forward error correction for a multi-channel audio signal are described. Blocks of an audio stream are buffered into a frame. A transformation can be applied that compacts the energy of each block into a plurality of transformed channels. The energy compaction transform may compact the most energy of a block into the first transformed channel and to compact decreasing amounts of energy into each subsequent transformed channel. The transformed frame may be encoded using any suitable codec and transmitted in a packet over a network. Improved forward error correction may be provided by attaching a low bit rate encoding of the first transformed channel to a subsequent packet. To reconstruct a lost packet, the low bit rate encoding of the first channel for the lost packet may be combined with a packet loss concealment version of the other channels, constructed from a previously-received packet.

    Abstract: Embodiments of client device and method for audio or video conferencing are described. An embodiment includes an offset detecting unit, a configuring unit, an estimator and an output unit. The offset detecting unit detects an offset of speech input to the client device. The configuring unit determines a voice latency from the client device to every far end. The estimator estimates a time when a user at the far end perceives the offset based on the voice latency. The output unit outputs a perceivable signal indicating that a user at the far end perceives the offset based on the time estimated for the far end. The perceivable signal is helpful to avoid collision between parties.

    Abstract: The present document relates to audio signal processing in general, and to the concealment of artifacts that result from loss of audio packets during audio transmission over a packet-switched network, in particular. A method (200) for concealing one or more consecutive lost packets is described. A lost packet is a packet which is deemed to be lost transform-based audio decoder. Each of the one or more lost packets comprises a set of transform coefficients. A set of transform coefficients is used by the transform-based audio decoder to generate a corresponding frame of a time domain audio signal. The method (200) comprises determining (205) for a current lost packet of the one or more lost packets a number of preceding lost packets from the one or more lost packets; wherein the determined number is referred to as a loss position. Furthermore, the method comprises determining a packet loss concealment, referred to as PLC, scheme based on the loss position of the current packet; and determining (204, 207, 208) an estimate of a current frame of the audio signal using the determined PLC scheme (204, 207, 208); wherein the current frame corresponds to the current lost packet.

    Abstract: Various disclosed implementations involve processing and/or playback of a recording of a conference involving a plurality of conference participants. Some implementations disclosed herein involve receiving audio data corresponding to a recording of at least one conference involving a plurality of conference participants. The audio data may include conference participant speech data from multiple endpoints, recorded separately and/or conference participant speech data from a single endpoint corresponding to multiple conference participants and including spatial information for each conference participant of the multiple conference participants. A search of the audio data may be based on one or more search parameters. The search may be a concurrent search for multiple features of the audio data. Instances of conference participant speech may be rendered to at least two different virtual conference participant positions of a virtual acoustic space.
