Note Concealment ratio and concealment seconds are primary measurements based on
frame loss while MOS LQK scores project a “human-weighted” version of the
same information on a scale from 5 (excellent) to 1 (bad) for measuring listening
quality.
Listening quality scores (MOS LQK) relate to the clarity or sound of the received
voice signal. Conversational quality scores (MOS CQ such as G.107) include
impairment factors, such as delay, that degrade the natural flow of conversation.
For information about configuring voice quality metrics for phones, refer to the
“Phone Features” section in the “Cisco
Unified IP Phone” chapter in Cisco
Unified CallManager System Guide.
You can access voice quality metrics remotely by using Streaming Statistics (see
Chapter 8, “Monitoring the Cisco Unified Wireless IP Phone Remotely.
Using Voice Quality Metrics
To use the metrics for monitoring voice quality, note the typical scores under
normal conditions of zero packet loss, and use the metrics as a baseline for
comparison.
It is important to distinguish significant changes from random changes in metrics.
Significant changes are scores that change about 0.2 MOS or greater and persist
in calls that last longer than 30 seconds. Conceal Ratio changes should indicate
greater than 3 percent frame loss.
MOS LQK scores can vary based on the codec that the Cisco Unified IP Phone
uses. The following codecs provide these maximum MOS LQK scores under
normal conditions with zero frame loss:
G.711 codec gives 4.5 score
G.719A/ AB gives 3.7 score
A Conceal Ratio of zero indicates that the IP network is delivering frames and
packets on time with no loss.
Troubleshooting Tips
When you observe significant and persistent changes to metrics, use Table 9-1 for
general troubleshooting information.
