Abstract

The monitoring of the quality of service in digital television networks needs instruments to assess automatically the perceived quality of audio and video components of an MPEG2 signal. In order to improve the knowledge of the impact of the impairments on the final service, and to validate the algorithms that will be implemented in the quality evaluation instruments, a general simulation chain has been designed and developed. This paper presents the simulations performed as well as the analysis and the synthesis of the obtained results
