TITLE: Proposed H.248 RTCPXR Packages

___________________

Introduction:

This contribution proposes new packages to enable collection and reporting of extended QoS metrics using H.248.

Discussion:

These packages contain an improved set of Voice over IP call performance metrics. These metrics are consistent with those defined in IETF RFCxxxx (RFC number pending), RTP Control Protocol Reporting Extensions (RTCP XR). The use of a common set of metrics for QoS reporting via call control protocols and media path protocols lowers the complexity of end-systems and makes it easier to compare data when resolving service quality problems.

These metrics are easily represented utilizing statistics in an H.248 package. The package proposed by the contribution is a natural extension of the RTCP XR work that has progressed in the IETF, and the proposal of new pacakge to report these same metrics.

Proposal:

It is proposed to accept a work item in SG16 Question 3 for RTCP XR and the following package as a baseline for a RTCPXR package.
H.248.rtcpxr
RTCP Extended Performance Metrics Package

1Summary

This document defines a package that provides RTCP XR metrics reporting capabilities for H.248.

2Scope

This document describes a set of Extended Performance Metrics for Voice over IP QoS reporting that provide more detailed insight into call quality and causes of degradation than basic RTCP statistics. The metrics described in this document are consistent with those described in the RTCP XR Voice over IP Metrics Payload described in IETF RFCnnnn.

7RTCP XR Burst Metrics Package

PackageID: xrbm (0x00??)
Version: 1
Extends: rtcpxr version 1

This package defines properties and statistics for reporting burst metrics.

7.1Properties

7.1.1Minimum Gap Threshold

PropertyID: gmin (0x0002)
Description: A parameter used to define bursts. This is by default set to 16, which sets the threshold packet loss rate between bursts and gaps to approximately 6%. See the procedures for how to use Gmin to determine a burst.

Type: Integer

Possible Values: Any positive integral value, defaults to 16
Defined In: LocalControl
Characteristics: Read/Write

7.2Events

None

7.3Signals

None

7.4Statistics

7.4.1Burst Loss Density

StatisticID: bld (0x000c)
Description: The average proportion of packets both lost and discarded during burst periods expressed as an 8 bit binary fraction. This is obtained by dividing the sum of the number of packets lost in the transmission path and discarded by the jitter buffer during burst periods by the total number of packets expected during burst periods, multiplying this value by 256 and taking the integer part.

A burst is a period during which a high proportion of packets are either lost in transit or discarded due to late arrival. In general, a burst is likely to result in audible degradation to call quality.

Type: Integer
Possible Values: any non-negative integral value

7.4.2Burst Duration

StatisticID: bd (0x000d)
Description: The average length of burst periods.
Type:
Possible Values: any non-negative integral number of milliseconds

7.4.3Gap Loss Density

StatisticID: gld (0x000e)
Description: The average proportion of packets lost and discarded during gap periods expressed as an 8 bit binary fraction. This is obtained by dividing the sum of the number of packets lost in the transmission path and discarded by the jitter buffer during gap periods by the total number of packets expected during gap periods, multiplying this value by 256 and taking the integer part.

Type: Integer

Possible Values: any non-negative integral value

7.4.4Gap Duration

StatisticID: gd (0x000f)
Description: The average length of gap periods.

Type: Integer

Possible Values: any non-negative integral number of milliseconds

7.5Procedures

A burst is defined as a longest sequence that (a) starts with a lost or discarded packet, (b) does not contain any occurrences of Gmin or more consecutive received (and not discarded) packets, and (c) ends with a lost or discarded packet.

A gap is a period between bursts; the above burst definition means that during gaps the packet loss rate is low and lost/discarded packets are isolated and hence can be effectively masked by packet loss concealment algorithms.
