    摘要: The perceptibility of degradations caused to signals transmitted over a transmission medium is measured by generating one or more predetermined transmission degradation conditions (et) and subjecting a test signal (St) to the transmission degradation conditions (et) in a network simulation device. The degree M(e) to which the or each transmission degradation condition (et) is perceptible to the human perceptual system is measured and a data set is generated and stored for converting one or more transmission degradation conditions (et) to respective values of perceptibility M(e). The data set may be a look-up table or an empirically determined formula. The data set may then be used on live traffic (S′), by identifying objectively measured transmission degradation conditions (e) in the received signal (S′) and retrieving from the data set in the data storage means (7) a value of perceptibility (M) associated with the transmission degradation conditions (e) so identified. In this way a measure of the subjective significance of degradation in the signal (S′) can be derived from objective measures of degradation.

    摘要: Apparatus for assessing the performance of telecommunications systems by comparison of a reference signal with the same signal as degraded by the system under test tends to give unreliable results when used to test connectionless packet-switching equipment. This is because variable delay in delivery of the individual packets can result in the test signal and reference signal becoming unsynchronised. This may lead to the apparatus recording a poorer performance than a human tester would have recorded. To overcome this problem, the invention separates the test signal into a series of individual sections, which are synchgronised and analysed separately, and a quality value, aggregated over all the sections, is derived.
