Speech Quality
(MOS)
Definition: The speech quality on call basis is an indicator representing the quantification
of the end-to-end speech transmission quality of the mobile telephony service. This
parameter computes the speech quality on a sample basis.
Equation: The validation of the end-to-end quality is made using MOS scales. These scales
describe the opinion of users with speech transmission and its troubles (noise, robot voice,
echo, dropouts, etc.) according to ITU -T Recommendation P.862 in conjunction with ITUT Recommendation P.862.1, or according to ITU-T Recommendation P.863. The algorithm
used should be reported. The speech quality measurement is taken per sample. An
aggregation for measurement campaigns or parts of it should be made on speech sample
basis.

The quantity evaluated from the scores (mean listening-quality opinion score, or simply
meanpinion score) is represented by the symbol MOS.
Refer to ITU-T RECOMMENDATION P.800 (08/1996)
