E-Model (ITU-T Recommendation G.107, 1998-2014)
Based on a mathematical model in which the individual transmission parameters are transformed into
different individual "impairment factors” such as codec characteristics, delay, loss ratio, discard ratio,
etc., to obtain a quality metric called R factor:
Mean Opinion Score (MOS)
Basic signal-
to-noise ratio
Delay

(expectation)
• Network latency
• De-jitter buffer size
• Ie (codec)
• Packet loss robustness (codec)
• Packet loss probability
• Network latency

1 Calculation of the transmission rating factor, R
ccording to the equipment impairment factor method, the fundamental principle of the E-model
ased on a concept given in the description of the OPINE model (see [b-ITU-T P-Sup.3]).
sychological factors on the psychological scale are additive.
he result of any calculation with the E-model in a first step is a transmission rating factor R, whic
ombines all transmission parameters relevant for the considered connection. This rating factor R
omposed of:
AIe-effIdIsRoR +−−−= (7-1
o represents in principle the basic signal-to-noise ratio, including noise sources such as circu
oise and room noise. Factor Is is a combination of all impairments which occur more or le
multaneously with the voice signal. Factor Id represents the impairments caused by delay and th
fective equipment impairment factor Ie-eff represents impairments caused by low bit-rate codec
also includes impairment due to randomly distributed pack losses. The advantage factor A allow
r compensation of impairment factors when the user benefits from other types of access to th
ser. The term Ro and the Is and Id values are subdivided into further specific impairment value
he following clauses give the equations used in the E-model.](https://image.slidesharecdn.com/introductiontovoiceslideshare-160930204501/85/Introduction-to-VoIP-RTP-and-SIP-16-320.jpg)
