34、4 General A basic problem when using SCR is that the background acoustic noise, which is transmitted together with the speech, would disappear when the transmission is cut, resulting in discontinuities of the background noise. Since the SCR switching can take place rapidly, it has been found that th

35、is effect can be very annoying for the listener - especially in a car environment with high background noise levels. In bad cases, the speech may be hardly intelligible. This document specifies the way to overcome this problem by generating on the receive (RX) side synthetic noise similar to the tra

36、nsmit (TX) side background noise. The comfort noise parameters are estimated on the TX side and transmitted to the RX side at a regular rate when speech is not present. This allows the comfort noise to adapt to the changes of the noise on the TX side. 5 Functions on the transmit (TX) side The comfor

37、t noise evaluation algorithm uses the following parameters of the AMR-WB speech encoder, defined in 2: - the unquantized Linear Prediction (LP) parameters, using the Immittance Spectral Pair (ISP) representation, where the unquantized Immittance Spectral Frequency (ISF) vector is given by 1621fffT.f

38、 = ; The algorithm computes the following parameters to assist in comfort noise generation: - the weighted averaged ISF parameter vector (weighted average of the ISF parameters of the eight most recent frames); - the averaged logarithmic frame energy enmeanlog(average of the logarithmic energy of th

39、e eight most recent frames). These parameters give information on the level ( enmeanlog) and the spectrum ( ) of the background noise. The evaluated comfort noise parameters ( and enmeanlog) are encoded into a special frame, called a Silence Descriptor (SID) frame for transmission to the RX side. A

40、hangover logic is used to enhance the quality of the silence descriptor frames. A hangover of seven frames is added to the VAD flag so that the coder waits with the switch from active to inactive mode for a period of seven frames, during that time the decoder can compute a silence descriptor frame f

41、rom the quantized ISFs and the logarithmic frame energy of the decoded speech signal. Therefore, no comfort noise description is transmitted in the first SID frame after active speech. If the background noise contains transients which will cause the coder to switch to active mode and then back to in

42、active mode in a very short time period, no hangover is used. Instead the previously used comfort noise frames are used for comfort noise generation. The first SID frame also serves to initiate the comfort noise generation on the receive side, as a first SID frame is always sent at the end of a spee

43、ch burst, i.e., before the transmission is terminated. The scheduling of SID or speech frames on the network path is described in 4. fmeanfmeanfmeanETSI ETSI TS 126 192 V14.0.0 (2017-04)83GPP TS 26.192 version 14.0.0 Release 145.1 ISF evaluation The comfort noise parameters to be encoded into a SID

44、frame are calculated over N=8 consecutive frames marked with VAD=0, as follows: Prior to averaging the ISF parameters over the CN averaging period, a median replacement is performed on the set of ISF parameters to be averaged, to remove the parameters which are not characteristic of the background n

45、oise on the transmit side. First, the spectral distances from each of the ISF parameter vectors ()f i to the other ISF parameter vectors ()f j , i=0,.,7, j=0,.,7, ij, within the CN averaging period are approximated according to the equation: () ()=1612kjiijkfkfR , (1) where ()fkiis the kth ISF param

46、eter of the ISF parameter vector ()f i at frame i. To find the spectral distance Siof the ISF parameter vector ()f i to the ISF parameter vectors ()f j of all the other frames j=0,.,7, ji, within the CN averaging period, the sum of the spectral distances Rijis computed as follows: ,7,0=ijjijiRS (2)

47、for all i=0,.,7, ij. The ISF parameter vector ()f i with the smallest spectral distance Siof all the ISF parameter vectors within the CN averaging period is considered as the median ISF parameter vector fmedof the averaging period, and its spectral distance is denoted as Smed. The median ISF paramet

48、er vector is considered to contain the best representation of the short-term spectral detail of the background noise of all the ISF parameter vectors within the averaging period. If there are ISF parameter vectors ()f j within the CN averaging period with SSTHjmedmed , (3) where THmed= 225. is the m

49、edian replacement threshold, then at most two of these ISF parameter vectors (the ISF parameter vectors causing THmedto be exceeded the most) are replaced by the median ISF parameter vector prior to computing the averaged ISF parameter vector fmean. The set of ISF parameter vectors obtained as a result of the median replacement are denoted as () f ni, where n is the index of the current frame, and i is the averaging period index (i=0,.,7). When the median replacement is performed at the end of the hangover perio
