ETSI ETSI TS 126 077 V14.0.0 (2017-04)73GPP TS 26.077 version 14.0.0 Release 141 Scope The present document specifies recommended minimum performance requirements for noise suppression algorithms intended for application in conjunction with the AMR speech encoder. This specificatio

28、n is for guidance purposes. Noise Suppression is intended to enhance the speech signal corrupted by acoustic noise at the input to the AMR speech encoder. The use of this recommended minimum performance requirements specification is not mandatory except for those solutions intended to be endorsed by

29、 SMG11. It is the intention of SMG11 to perform analysis and validation of any AMR noise suppression solution which is voluntarily brought to the attention of SMG11 in the future, using the requirements set out in this specification to facilitate such an analysis. In order for SMG11 to endorse such

30、a solution, SMG11 must confirm that all the recommended minimum performance requirements are met. 2 References The following documents contain provisions which, through reference in this text, constitute provisions of the present document.

38、tion of the AMR speech codec and the Noise Suppression function NS Noise Suppression 4 Description of Noise Suppression applied to AMR Noise Suppression for the AMR codec is a feature designed to enhance speech quality in a range of environments where there is significant (acoustic) background noise

39、. The noise suppression function is a pre-processing module that is used to improve the signal to noise ratio of a speech signal prior to voice coding. In so doing it may use functions and/or data from the AMR speech encoding function. This specification defines recommended minimum performance requi

40、rements for such a function when it is implemented in the mobile station (operating on the uplink speech signal). The AMR Speech decoder should not be altered by the Noise Suppression function. It shall be possible to disable the operation of the noise suppression algorithm using signalling when com

41、manded by the network. 4.1 Applicability of Noise Suppression to Basic Services. This feature shall be applicable (as an option) to all speech calls where the narrowband AMR codec is utilised. Provision of the feature in AMR-capable mobile stations is a manufacturer dependent option. The network sha

42、ll be able to enable or disable this noise suppression function both at call set-up and in call. Signalling between network and mobile to allow this control has been provided. 5 Requirements to be assessed by Objective Means 5.1 Bit Exactness of the Speech Encoder The Noise Suppression shall be impl

43、emented as a separate pre-processing module prior to the speech encoding. The functionality and all internal states, tables and variables of the speech encoder shall remain unaltered by the Noise Suppression function. The Noise Suppression should be implemented as a stand-alone pre-processing module

44、 operating on the 160 samples input speech buffer to the speech encoder according to Figure 1.

The bit-inte

46、grity of the speech encoder for this implementation shall be verified according to Figure 2 where the signals at Test Points 1 and 2 shall be identical for any input signal and the Reference Encoder is the part of 3GPP TS 06.73 after the pre-processing module. Note: implementation in conjunction wit

47、h the AMR floating point C code is for further study.

48、e one way algorithmic delay due to the activation of AMR noise suppression shall be no more than 5ms in excess of the delay inserted by the AMR speech codec. In the handsfree case, this delay is part of the 39ms delay specified in 3GPP TS 03.50 6. The total additional delay (comprising of algorithmi

49、c and processing delays) shall not exceed 10ms.
