Addressing packet loss in a voice over internet protocol network using phonemic restoration

Abstract:

Embodiments include method, systems and computer program products for addressing packet loss over a Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) network using phonemic restoration. The method includes receiving, by a processor, a plurality of data packets associated with a VoIP call. The processor further determines that one or more of the plurality of data packets have been lost or discarded. The processor further inserts, a sound into the VoIP call in response to the one or more of the plurality of data packets being lost or discarded. The processor further sends the sound to an output device in order to trigger a phonemic restoration response by a listener.
