Abstract
The effect of packet loss on the quality of real-time audio is significant. Nevertheless, Internet measurement experiments continue to show a considerable variation of packet loss, which makes audio error recovery and concealment challenging. Our objective is to predict packet loss in real-time audio streams based on the available bandwidth and delay variation and trend, enabling proactive error recovery for real-time audio over the Internet. Our preliminary simulation and experimentation results with various sites on the Internet show the effectiveness and the accuracy of the Loss Predictor technique.
