Abstract
This work contributes to demonstrate what perceptual benefits can be expected by adding some processing capabilities to the network nodes for the class of interactive audio streaming applications. In particular, we propose a new voice stream multi-flow block interleaver and we show that it provides an intelligibility performance very close to the reference end-to-end interleaver, even under conditions where the end-to-end interleaving is unfeasible.
This work has been partially financed by the Spanish Science and Technology Ministry under Research Project TIC2002-02978 (with 70% of FEDER funds).
