摘要： A wireless receiver, in the form of a mobile telephone, includes a DAB receiver and a GSM/GPRS transceiver which enables bi-directional point-to-point data communications via a service provider. The DAB receiver is arranged to receive media data from an over-the-air broadcast channel, the media data primarily representing television and radio streams. In order that the streams can be decoded and decrypted by media playing software on the wireless receiver, a provisioning operation is employed to provide NSC header files and DRM licenses to users in response to them making content requests. The header files and licenses are sent over a separate data channel and in advance of the broadcast content.

摘要： A communications system is tested to simulate a realistic conversation. A first measurement device make a call, through the system it is testing, to a second measurement device and the two devices converse using predetermined speech generated dynamically by each device in response to the signals received from the other, to simulate aspects of conversation over non-perfect communications system link. The progress of the conversation will therefore take different courses according to the quality of the link. For example, if an expected signal is detected by one device, it transmits an appropriate predetermined response to the other device. However, if the expected signal is corrupted, or not received at all, different predetermined responses (or no response at all) are transmitted to the other device. This in turn may cause the other device to repeat the original signal. Because all the responses, including those to poor quality signals, are predetermined, each device can readily determine the quality of the signals received, because each signal received by one device form the other must be one of a limited number of possible responses to the last transmission made by the one device to the other. The devices perform measurements on the sounds they receive from each other, and monitor the progress of the conversation to compute parameters describing aspects of the received signal quality.

摘要： The perceptibility of degradations caused to signals transmitted over a transmission medium is measured by generating one or more predetermined transmission degradation conditions (et) and subjecting a test signal (St) to the transmission degradation conditions (et) in a network simulation device. The degree M(e) to which the or each transmission degradation condition (et) is perceptible to the human perceptual system is measured and a data set is generated and stored for converting one or more transmission degradation conditions (et) to respective values of perceptibility M(e). The data set may be a look-up table or an empirically determined formula. The data set may then be used on live traffic (S′), by identifying objectively measured transmission degradation conditions (e) in the received signal (S′) and retrieving from the data set in the data storage means (7) a value of perceptibility (M) associated with the transmission degradation conditions (e) so identified. In this way a measure of the subjective significance of degradation in the signal (S′) can be derived from objective measures of degradation.

摘要： The degree of degradation imposed on signals transmitted over a communications link from a transmitter to a receiver is tested. A predetermined test signal is transmitted using spare capacity detected by a voice activity detector when no speech is to be transmitted over the communications link. The test signal received by the receiver is compared with the reference signal, and a measure of the degradation of signals caused by the communications link is generated therefrom.

摘要： A test stimulus includes two signals RR, S. Signal S is transmitted to a customer equipment interface and over a system under test to a complementary remote apparatus. The test apparatus has two inputs processed by a number of functional elements. The first input is the reference signal RR. The other input is a corresponding test signal R′ generated at remote test apparatus as a test signal R, identical with reference signal RR, and transmitted over the system under test via the customer interface. These two versions of the same test signal are compared. Firstly, the signals RR, R′ are processed by a psycho-acoustic model, the output of which is transmitted to a perceptual layer, and then to a conversion unit which also receives a further input from a non-optimum loudness rating unit. The output from the conversion unit is transmitted to a signal quality determination unit, which also receives an input from the customer equipment interface. The non-optimum loudness rating unit processes inputs from the customer equipment interface and signal generator. During an iterative process, the signal generator receives feedback control from the signal quality determination unit. The remote test apparatus similarly receives a modified version of signal S (viz S′) from the network and compares it with a locally-generated reference version SR. In an alternative arrangement the same test apparatus is connected to both test points of the network and processes both signals S and R, either serially or in parallel.

摘要： Apparatus for assessing the performance of telecommunications systems by comparison of a reference signal with the same signal as degraded by the system under test tends to give unreliable results when used to test connectionless packet-switching equipment. This is because variable delay in delivery of the individual packets can result in the test signal and reference signal becoming unsynchronised. This may lead to the apparatus recording a poorer performance than a human tester would have recorded. To overcome this problem, the invention separates the test signal into a series of individual sections, which are synchgronised and analysed separately, and a quality value, aggregated over all the sections, is derived.
摘要翻译：通过比较参考信号与被被测系统劣化的相同信号来评估电信系统的性能的装置在用于测试无连接分组交换设备时趋于给出不可靠的结果。这是因为单个分组的传送中的可变延迟可导致测试信号和参考信号变得不同步。这可能导致设备记录比人类测试人员记录的更差的性能。为了克服这个问题，本发明将测试信号分成一系列单独的部分，这些部分被同步化并分开分析，得出了在所有部分上聚集的质量值。
