Experience with speech communication in packet networks
Abstract
It is pointed out that packet techniques provide powerful mechanisms for the sharing of communication resources among users with time-varying demands. The primary application of packet techniques has been for digital data communications. Packet techniques offer significant benefits for voice and for data. Packet speech concepts and issues are considered, taking into account the generic packet speech system configuration, the generic packet voice terminal configuration, digital speech processing functions, packet speech protocol functions, speech packetization and reconstitution, conferencing techniques, and statistical multiplexing of packet voice and data. Attention is given to a summary of packet speech experiments, packet speech on the ARPA network, packet speech on the Atlantic packet satellite network, and packet speech on the experimental wide-band system.
