The present document is organized as follows. Clause 5 describes the principles of operation of the VAD. Clause 6 provides an overvi

40、ew of the computational description of the VAD. The computational details necessary for the fixed point implementation of the VAD algorithm are given in the form of ANSI C program contained in GSM 06.53 2. The verification of the VAD is based on the use of digital test sequences which are described

41、in GSM 06.54 3. 5 Functional description The purpose of this clause is to give the reader an understanding of the principles of operation of the VAD, whereas GSM 06.53 2 contains the fixed point computational description of the VAD. In the case of discrepancy between the two descriptions, the descri

42、ption in GSM 06.53 2 will prevail. 5.1 Overview and principles of operation The function of the VAD is to distinguish between noise with speech present and noise without speech present. This is achieved by comparing the energy of a filtered version of the input signal with a threshold. The presence

43、of speech is indicated whenever the threshold is exceeded.

44、dflag wad The detection of speech in a mobile environment is difficult due to the low speechnoise ratios which are encountered, particularly in moving vehicles. To increase the probability of detecting speech the input signal is adaptively filtered (see clause 5.2.1) to reduce its noise content befo

45、re the voice activity decision is made (see clause 5.2.7). The frequency spectrum and level of the noise may vary within a given environment as well as between different environments. It is therefore necessary to adapt the input filter coefficients and energy threshold at regular intervals as descri
