As Internet Telephony unveils a communication system that allows for the conduction and reception of voice signals and data over the internet network, the volume of voice traffic and (or) packets on IP networks have grown substantially. However, a crucial problem imminent is that of inefficient bandwidth utilization which is mostly as a result of header overheads resulting from the attachment o...

With the increasing demand for wireless voice services and limited bandwidth resources, it is critical to develop and implement coding techniques which use spectrum efficiently. One approach to increasing system capacity is to lower the bit rate of telephone speech. A typical telephone conversation contains approximately 40% speech and 60% silence or background acoustic noise. A reduction of th...

BACKGROUND Research suggests that "silence", i.e., not voicing safety concerns, is common among health care professionals (HCPs). Speaking up about patient safety is vital to avoid errors reaching the patient and thus to prevent harm and also to improve a culture of teamwork and safety. The aim of our study was to explore factors that affect oncology staff's decision to voice safety concerns or...

Time synchronization provides receivers with precise information about end-to-end delays, enabling effective playout of time-sensitive voice data over the Internet. A lthough packet-based and unman-aged networks like the Internet are ideal for delivering time-insensitive data such as e-mail or static Web traffic, the growing demand for Web-based multimedia data exposes the limitations of core I...
