29、he present document specifies recommended minimum performance requirements for noise suppression algorithms intended for application in conjunction with the AMR speech encoder. This specification is for guidance purposes. Noise Suppression is intended to enhance the speech signal corrupted by acoust

30、ic 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 SMG11. It is the intention of SMG11 to perform analysis and validation of any AMR noise suppression solut

31、ion 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 a solution, SMG11 must confirm that all the recommended minimum performance requirements are met. 2 Refere

40、f 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. The noise suppression function is a pre-processing module that is used to improve the signal to no

41、ise 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 requirements for such a function when it is implemented in the mobile station (operating on the uplink sp

42、eech 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 commanded by the network. 4.1 Applicability of Noise Suppression to Basic Services. This feature shall

43、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 shall be able to enable or disable this noise suppression function both at call set-up and in call. Sig

44、nalling 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 implemented as a separate pre-processing module prior to the speech encoding. The functionality and all

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

The bit-integrity of the speech encoder for this implementation shall be verified according to Figure 2 where th

48、e 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 with the AMR floating point C code is for further study. Figure 2: Verification of AMR speech encoder b

49、it-exactness for embedded NS implementations 5.2 Bit Exactness of the Speech Decoder The AMR speech decoder shall remain unaltered by the Noise Suppression function. 5.3 Impact on Speech Path Delay The 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 algorithmic and processing delays) shall not exceed
