Packet interleaving and its influence on the VoIP connection quality

Abstract

In this paper the influence of packet interleaving on VoIP connection quality (transmission rating factor) is investigated. It is proved that contribution of interleaving in this case depends on a type of coder (compressor), on a percent of packet loss, on a packetization period and on a packet total transmission delay. Depending on a combination of these influencing factors, there are situations when VoIP connection quality is even decreased when interleaving is implemented.
