It also specifies the test methods to be used t

GENERAL =3c= The function of the VAD is to indicate whether each 20ms frame produced by the speech encoder contains speech or no
17、t. The output is a binary flag which is used by the TX DTX handler defined in recommendation GSM 06.31. The recommendation is organised as follows: Section 2 describes the principles of operation of the VAD, In section 3, the computational details necessary for the fixed point implementation of the
18、VAD algorithm are given. This section uses the same notation as used for computational details in GSM 06.10. The verification of the VAD is based on the use of digital test sequences. Section 4 defines the input and output signals and the test configuration, whereas the detailed description of the t
19、est sequences is contained in annex 2. The performance of the VAD algorithm is characterised by the amount of audible speech clipping it introduces and the percent- age activity it indicates. These characteristics for the VAD defined in this recommendation have been established by extensive testing
20、under a wide range of operating conditions. The results are summarised in annex 3. 2. FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION tPIIPIPltt The purpose of this section is to give the reader an understand- ing of the principles of operation of the VAD, whereas the detailed description is given in section 3. In case of d
21、iscrepancy between the two descriptions, the detailed description of section 3 shall prevail. In the following subsections of section 2, a Pascal programming type of notation has been used to describe the algoritbm. 2 1.1 Ys;js5 M 3404583 OOL584L 8 M ETSI/GSM GSM 06.32 / page 5 Version 3.0.0 2.1.

22、ERVIEW AND PRINCIPLES OF OPERATION The function of the VAD is to distinguish between noise with speech present and noise without speech present. The biggest dif- ficulty for detecting speech in a mobile environment is the very low speech/noise ratios which are often encountered. The accuracy of the
23、VAD is improved by using filtering to increase the speech/noise ratio before the decision is made. For a mobile environment, the worst speech/noise ratios are en- countered in moving vehicles. It has been found that the noise is relatively stationary for quite long periods in a mobile environ- ment.
24、 It is therefore possible to use an adaptive filter with coefficients obtained during noise, to remove much of the vehicle noise. The VAD is basically an energy detector. The energy of the fil- tered signal is compared with a threshold: speech is indicated whenever the threshold is exceeded. The noi
25、se encountered in mobile environments may be constantly changing in level. The spectrum of the noise can also change, and varies greatly over different vehicles. Because of these changes the VAD threshold and adaptive filter coefficients must be con- stantly adapted. To give reliable detection the t
26、hreshold must be sufficiently above the noise level to avoid noise being iden- tified as speech but not so far above it that low level parts of speech.are identified as noise. The threshold and the adaptive filter coefficients are only updated when speech is not present. It is, of course, potentiall
27、y dangerous for a VAD to update these values on the basis of its own decision. This adaptation there- fore only occurs when the signal seems stationary in the fre- quency domain but does not have the pitch component inherent in voiced speech and information tones. A further mechanism is used to ensu
28、re that low level noise (which is often not stationary over long periods). is not detected as speech. Here, an additional fixed threshold is used. A VAD hangover period is used to eliminate mid-burst clipping of low level speech. Hangover is only added to speech-bursts which exceed a certain duratio
29、n to avoid extending noise spikes.

35、ompensation and pre-emphasis. This is explained in annex 1. Spectral characteristics of the input signal have to be obtained using blocks that are larger than one 20ms frame. This is done by averaging the autocorrelation values for several consecutive frames. This averaging is given by the following

43、I/GSM GSM 06.32 / page 14 Version 3.0.0 In the next paragraphs, the detailed description of the VAD algorithm follows the preceeding high level description, This detailed description is divided in nine sections related to the blocks of figure 2-1 (except the last one) in the high level description o
44、f the VAD algorithm. Those sections are: 1, Adaptive filtering and energy computation 2. ACF averaging 3. Predictor values computation 4. Spectral comparison 5. Periodicity detection 6. Threshold adaptation 7. VAD decision 8. VAD hangover addition 9. Periodicity updating The VAD algorithm takes as i
45、nput the following variables of the RPE-LTP encoder (see the detailed description of the RPE-LTP encoder rec GSM 06.10): - L ACF08j, autcorrelation function (rec GSM 06.10/4,2.4); - scalauto, scaling factor to compute the L ACF08 (rec GSM - Nc, LTP lag (one for each sub-segment, rec GSM 06.10/4.2.11
46、); - 06.1014.2.4) : So four Nc values are needed for the VAD algorithm. The VAD computation can start as soon as the L ACF08 and scalauto variables are known. This means that The VAD computation can take place after part 4.2.4 of rec GSM 06.10 (Autocorrelation) of the LPC analysis section of the RPE
47、-LTP encoder. This scheme will reduce the delay to yield the VAD information. The . periodicity updating which is included in section 2.2.5, is done after the processing of the current speech encoder frame. All the arithmetic operations and names of the variables follow the RPE-LTP detailed descript
