Describes an objective method for predicting the subjective quality of 3.1 kHz (narrow-band) handset telephony and narrow-band speech codecs. Provides a high-level description of the method, advice on how to use it, and part of the results from a Study Group 12 benchmark carried out in the period 1999-2000. Includes an electronic attachment containing an ANSI-C reference implementation of PESQ and conformance testing data.
