9、 FOREWORD The International Telecommunication Union (ITU) is the United Nations specialized agency in the field of telecommunications, information and communication technologies (ICTs). The ITU Telecommunication Standardization Sector (ITU-T) is a permanent organ of ITU. ITU-T is responsible for stu

10、dying technical, operating and tariff questions and issuing Recommendations on them with a view to standardizing telecommunications on a worldwide basis. The World Telecommunication Standardization Assembly (WTSA), which meets every four years, establishes the topics for study by the ITU-T study gro

11、ups which, in turn, produce Recommendations on these topics. The approval of ITU-T Recommendations is covered by the procedure laid down in WTSA Resolution 1. In some areas of information technology which fall within ITU-Ts purview, the necessary standards are prepared on a collaborative basis with

12、ISO and IEC. NOTE In this Recommendation, the expression “Administration“ is used for conciseness to indicate both a telecommunication administration and a recognized operating agency. Compliance with this Recommendation is voluntary. However, the Recommendation may contain certain mandatory provisi

13、ons (to ensure, e.g., interoperability or applicability) and compliance with the Recommendation is achieved when all of these mandatory provisions are met. The words “shall“ or some other obligatory language such as “must“ and the negative equivalents are used to express requirements. The use of suc

14、h words does not suggest that compliance with the Recommendation is required of any party. INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS ITU draws attention to the possibility that the practice or implementation of this Recommendation may involve the use of a claimed Intellectual Property Right. ITU takes no positio

15、n concerning the evidence, validity or applicability of claimed Intellectual Property Rights, whether asserted by ITU members or others outside of the Recommendation development process. As of the date of approval of this Recommendation, ITU had not received notice of intellectual property, protecte

16、d by patents, which may be required to implement this Recommendation. However, implementers are cautioned that this may not represent the latest information and are therefore strongly urged to consult the TSB patent database at http:/www.itu.int/ITU-T/ipr/.

22、al model for point-to-point interactive videophone applications over IP networks that is useful as a QoE/QoS planning tool for assessing the combined effects of variations in several video and speech parameters that affect the quality of experience (QoE). This model can be used by QoE/QoS planners t

23、o help ensure that users will be satisfied with end-to-end service quality. Actually they want to avoid under-engineering. Network, application and terminal quality parameters of high importance to QoE/QoS planners are incorporated into this model. The model provided in this Recommendation needs to

24、be a flexible tool capable of providing feedback on individual qualities as well as overall quality. This Recommendation is very different from ITU-T J.148 in terms of input parameters. In this Recommendation, multimedia quality is calculated by using network, application and terminal equipment para

25、meters, whereas in ITU-T J.148, the calculation is done by using speech and video signals. This Recommendation assumes videophone applications using dedicated videophone terminals, desktop PCs, laptop PCs, PDAs and mobile phones. The speech bandwidth is limited to the telephone band (300-3400 Hz). T

26、he application of this Recommendation is limited to QoE/QoS planning. Other applications such as quality benchmarking and monitoring are outside the scope of this Recommendation. 2 References The following ITU-T Recommendations and other references contain provisions which, through reference in this
