26、ion area 4.1 Codecs In the present document, we focus on PLC mechanisms associated with G.711 i.1 decoders only. In next revisions of the present document, the declination of this method for other codecs with optional PLC, like G.722 i.2 and AMR codec family, will be presented. Since PLC has been by
27、 default embedded in newer standardised decoders (like G.729 i.3), the performance of PLC mechanisms does not need to be assessed for these other codecs. 4.2 Devices The present document addresses all the following types of Home network devices likely to implement PLC: DSL home gateways FTTH home ga
28、teways VoIP applications on PC or IP phones Wireless terminals (WiFi, Bluetooth, DECT) with embedded VoIP application ETSI ETSI TR 102 927 V1.1.1 (2010-11) 75 Test environments The tests can be done in laboratory environment or in live situations. Both approaches are considered in the present docume
29、nt. It may also be sometimes difficult to make the tests: e.g. some test laboratories may not have the relevant tools for initiating the connection, or on real networks the performance may not be guaranteed. 6 Detailed description of the test bed Since PLC is meant to compensate for lost packets, th
30、e principle is to simulate such losses and to monitor the output signals. For this purpose a dedicated IP degradation simulation tool is used. This simulation is performed on the IP flow and requires: 1) to be done as close as possible to the measurement point (in order to avoid IP packet losses bet
31、ween the simulation and the measurement points), 2) on an Ethernet link (or any similar physical support where IP packets can be directly processed). It is also necessary to ensure, as far as possible, that the link on which tests are performed is clean, that is exempt of degradations likely to caus
32、e packet losses before the simulation is performed. This is generally the case in a laboratory environment, as well as in live network under unstressed conditions. At the other end of the connection, a reference end-point is also necessary in order to send reference signals without extra impairments
33、. 6.1 For DSL home gateways On DSL architectures, it is difficult (and most of the time impossible) to perform test in an isolated test laboratory environment, since the gateway must be registered by a service plat-form to be allowed to set up calls. The simulator has then to be inserted in series o
34、n the link between the phone plug on the wall inside home and the residential gateway. Since this link is not using Ethernet and does not allow access to the raw IP traffic, it requires having a derivation to do so, composed by an ADSL modem router and micro-DSLAM and an Ethernet link between them,
35、as shown in Figure 1. The output signal for measurement and analysis purposes are captured at the output of the FXS port of the home gateway under test. In this case, the far-end reference point is a PSTN access, allowing a full G.711 i.1 communication. This set up has one drawback: it is based on t
36、he assumption that the IP CORE and DSL access networks are not causing any packet loss. Therefore an analysis of the contribution of these networks to the end-to-end packet loss rate is highly recommended in prior to the start of the test measurement procedure.

No test method is currently ready to be proposed. 6.3 For VoIP application
38、s on PC and IP-phones In fact, a distinction has to be done here between two situations: VoIP clients requiring a registration process on a commercial platform to be allowed to use the service Other VoIP clients The first case is in fact similar to the one of home gateways, in the sense that it requ
39、ires access to real networks, with possible resulting degradation of the IP flow. But the test set up is simpler, since the IP flow is directly accessible at the input of the PC or of the IP-phone. The extra modem-router and the DSLAM are not necessary; the IP degradation simulation can be performed
40、 directly in series with the PC or the Ip-phone, as illustrated by Figure 2. It should be checked that PC client on reference access is not creating unexpected impairment (e.g. packet jitter). Its performance should be in line with EG 202 425 (VoIP reference point) i.8. ETSI ETSI TR 102 927 V1.1.1 (

42、boratory. The test set up, as shown in Figure 3, is then simply composed by the PC or IP-phone under test, the IP simulator and an optional PC where the registration and authorisation functions are hosted (SIP proxy, for instance). It should be checked that PC client on reference access is not creat
43、ing unexpected impairment (e.g. packet jitter). Its performance should be in line with EG 202 425 (VoIP reference point) i.8.

44、t up for VoIP on PC without registration on commercial platform In both cases: the output signal for measurement and analysis purposes are captured at the output of the sound card of the PC under test or at an electrical output of the IP-phone (jack or handset plug), the far-end reference point is a
45、nother PC or IP-phone embedding the same VoIP client with the same G.711 i.1 codec. ETSI ETSI TR 102 927 V1.1.1 (2010-11) 106.4 For wireless terminals with embedded VoIP application We are dealing here specifically with devices attached to the home network, that is their radio base station (whatever
46、 radio technology is used) is located inside home (i.e. it cannot be a WiFi hostpot around the next corner). The radio base station is therefore a peripheral unit of a central IP termination point. This central point can be any of the terminals presented in the cases above. The output signal is capt
47、ured at the corresponding electrical interface of the device, generally a headset jack plug. If the test facilities are also equipped with acoustical recording tools (HATS, etc.), it is also a possibility. The far end reference points remains also the same. Therefore the test set up for this case is
48、 similar to the one exposed above, with the only extension of the radio link. In Figure 4 we show the example with the DSL gateway.
