AudioSpeakerFeedbackMicIn*

int

 

This is the microphone input level from the loudspeaker signal which comes from the far end. The unit is dBoV. For acceptable quality this value should be less than 20 dBoV. If this number is too high, it means that the near end microphone is getting too much feedback from the near end loudspeaker. Not reported by A/V Conferencing Servers, Mediation Servers, or IP phones.

AudioSpeechLevelMicIn*

int

 

This is the speech level into the microphone at the near end. The unit is dBoV. For acceptable quality it should be between -18 dBoV and -35 dBoV, if greater than -18 dBoV, then signal clipping or echo is occurring when both parties talk. If it is less than -35 dBoV, then speech might be distorted. Not reported by A/V Conferencing Servers, Mediation Servers, or IP phones.

AudioSpeechLevelPostProcess*

int

 

Overall average speech level sent to the far end (after signal processing) from the near end. The unit for this metric is dBoV. For acceptable quality it should be within [-30 to -18] dBoV. Not reported by A/V Conferencing Servers, Mediation Servers, or IP phones.

AudioSignalLevelLoudSpeaker*

int

 

Speaker/Headphone input level (at the near end). The unit for this metric is dBoV. For acceptable quality it should range between [-35 to -15] dBoV. If too high there may be clipping. If too low then there might be low volume issues. Not reported by A/V Conferencing Servers, Mediation Servers, or IP phones.

AudioBackGroundNoiseMicIn*

int

 

Background Noise Input to the microphone at the near end. The unit for this metric is dBoV. For acceptable quality the range should be less than -35 dBoV. If noise is too high, this indicates a bad device or bad device setup which is degrading audio quality. Not reported by A/V Conferencing Servers, Mediation Servers, or IP phones.

AudioLocalSpeechToEcho*

int

 

This the ratio of speech to echo. The unit for this is dB. For acceptable quality it should be greater than 10 dB. If less than 10dB then speech level is too low compared to echo level, and distorted speech might occur. Not reported by A/V Conferencing Servers, Mediation Servers, or IP phones.

RoundTripMax

int

 

Maximum round trip time for the audio stream.

OverallAvgNetworkMOS

decimal(3,2)

 

Average wideband Network MOS for the call. This metric depends on the packet loss, jitter and codec used. Range is [1.0 to 5.0]

Inbound

bit

 

Stream data on receiver side is received.

Outbound

bit

 

Stream data on sender side is received.

SenderIsCallerPAI

bit

 

1 means the stream direction is from Caller to Callee.

0 means the stream direction is from Callee to Caller.

Note: * means, the metric is scaled by *-100 when stored in QoE DB. Dividing the number by -100 will give the ranges listed in this table.
