Abstract

The Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) provides new means for establishing and maintaining IP based multimedia services. Similar to most of the Internet protocols, SIP might suffer from the spam problem. The latter refers to sending unsolicited information in bulk. In this paper, we describe a way of how analysis of the audio content can help to detect spam calls. After identifying the requirements for the audio analysis to be successful in detecting spam, an architecture suited for VoIP media is suggested. To prove the feasibility of our solution, the audio analysis technique is validated through various testing methods.
