Abstract:
A method and apparatus for estimating speech intelligibility in a mobile communications network component handling two-way communication between two ends of a signal path. Test signals adapted for speech intelligibility measurements are inserted into the signal path to simulate two-way communication. Double-talk is detected during the communication, and speech intelligibility measurements are performed only during periods of double-talk. This enables the effect of echo to be taken into account while avoiding undesirable effects from non-linear processing, and comfort noise if present, in the signal path. Voice enhancement devices may then be adjusted in response to the estimated speech intelligibility.
