How to generate QoS events from Byte-TS flow

This page describes the way to generate QoS events from the Byte-TS flow recorded over an ISDN/QSIG B channel. The requirement is done by using the "Analog" properties in the Clarinet filter used on-line (filter name defined in the profile) or off-line (Filter-Run Protocol).

Connecting the unit and setting the test conditions

The connections of Clarinet-Book USB units and the settings of test conditions for a basic monitoring are detailed in the following page:

Setting the test conditions for Byte-TS / Analog filter

The protocol filter file Isdn_xx_bts_analog_ref.acf  (Isdn_etsi_bts_analog_ref.acf or Isdn_att_bts_analog_ref.acf or Isdn_ni2_bts_analog_ref.acf) created with the Wizard from the Template list) specifies the stack of protocol with a reference file (default is or137.wav). The default reference file should be copied manually from  C:\Clarinet\Clatools\Template\I S D N\E T S I to the current directory.

As Byte-TS is defined in layer 1, the "analog" protocol is added in layer 2.

The"Analog Measurement" tab of the filter includes specifications for both functions: wav files generation and QoS measurement. The filter file Isdn_xx_bts_analog_ref.acf  is configured  to generate wav files and QoS events.

  • Modifications of the filter to apply in "Received Voice" part:
    • the codec specifications must correspond to the value used in the digital data flow (G711 mLaw, G711 ALaw, ...).
    • if disabled (no output file), only Qos measurement will be processed.:
      • the file name (default= Bts_analog.wav)
      • the encoding specifications of the file.wav
    • if enabled the output file should specify:
      • the file name (default= Bts_analog.wav)
      • the encoding specifications of the file.wav
  • Modifications of the filter to apply in "Quality measurement" part:
    • the quality measurement should be set to "Continuous", "One Time"  or "Auto" 
    • the reference file name is optional 
    • the "Delay between measurement" defines the period of generation of  "Average" events.

Setting the test conditions for processing basic QoS events

The generation of basic QoS events allow to get :

  • the value of the Jitter
  • periodically, Average events for jitter

The generation of basic QoS events depends on the mode and reference file specifications :

Mode  Reference file Results in event file
Continuous No Jitter for  Byte-TS events (2->N)
Continuous Yes Jitter for Byte-TS events : begin (ref file) ->N
One time No Jitter for  Byte-TS events (2->N)
One Time Yes
  • Beginning +End of  meas (1st ref file)
  • Jitter for Byte-TS events : begin-end (1st ref file)
  • Average (1st ref file)

Setting the test conditions for processing PESQ QoS events

The generation of PESQ QoS events allows to get the PESQ valiue in Average events:

  • the value of the Jitter
  • periodically, Average events for jitter,  loss of packet and PESQ value.

When the PESQ resource is selected in Generator/Responder of  ISDN/SS7/QSIG profiles, the generation of PESQ QoS events requires the following specifications :

Mode  Reference file Synchro PESQ Results in event file
Auto Yes Yes Yes
  • Beginning +End of  meas (each ref file)
  • Jitter for Byte-TS events: begin-end (each ref file)
  • Average (each ref file)

Applying the filter conditions

The processing of the events can be done:

  • off-line by using Filter èRun Protocol:
    • source file including the Byte-TS events (Isdn_etsi_mon_e1.ace as an example).
    • filter name (isdn_etsi_bts_analog_ref.acf  as an example)
    • result file.generated (Isdn_etsi_mon_e1_rlt.ace as an example).
  • on-line, at the end of the profile execution, with the following settings:
    • configuration file set as WI_ANALOG by Clarinet-Init
    • filter name defined in the profile to be execute
