Abstract

An example method to determine a quality-of-experience (QoE) metric for a network communication includes receiving a media signal from the network communication, wherein the media signal includes a voice component, extracting an experience indicator from the voice component, wherein the experience indicator is a voice feature descriptive of a service quality of the network communication, evaluating the experience indicator, retrieving a quality-of-service (QoS) metric if the evaluated experience indicator reflects the service quality of the network possibly being subpar, and determining the QoE metric for the network communication based on the evaluated experience indicator and the retrieved QoS metric for the network communication.
