Abstract—Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) may provide good services through Mobile Ad hoc Networks (MANets) platform. It may cover many application scenarios range from safety to comfort related services. However, these networks introduce many challenges for supporting voice with QoS requirements. In this study, we take the first step in addressing the practical issues related to deploying v...

the definition and typological description of the category of voice can be provided in two ways: i) at the level of semantic arguments (or semantic roles), ii) at the level of grammatical relations (or syntactic functions). the most important theoretical concept that is determined in terms of these two levels of representations and enables one to capture the rich variety of voices is that of di...

The right posterior superior temporal sulcus (pSTS) shows a strong response to voices, but the cognitive processes generating this response are unclear. One possibility is that this activity reflects basic voice processing. However, several fMRI and magnetoencephalography findings suggest instead that pSTS serves as an integrative hub that combines voice and face information. Here we investigat...

BACKGROUND Lombard's effect increases the level of vocal intensity in the environment, in which noise occurs. This article presents the results of the author's own study of vocal intensity level and A-weighted sound pressure level of background noise during normal lectures. The aim of the study was to define whether above-mentioned parameters depend on acoustic properties of rooms (classrooms o...

General packet radio service (GPRS) is designed for transmitting packet data and supposed to take its radio resource from the pool of channels unused by GSM voice services. Obviously, the introduction of GPRS affects on the voice services. In this paper the outage probability of non-frequency hopping and frequency hopping systems with different frequency reuse factor has been calculated in ord...
