32、ot. The output is a binary flag which is used by the TX DTX handler defined in GSM 06.31 4. The ETS is organized as follows. Clause 2 describes the principles of operation of the VAD. In clause 3, the computational details necessary for the fixed point implementation of the VAD algorithm are given.

33、This clause 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. Clause 4 defines the input and output signals and the test configuration, whereas the detailed description of the test sequences is contained

34、in clause A.2. The performance of the VAD algorithm is characterized by the amount of audible speech clipping it introduces and the percentage activity it indicates. These characteristics for the VAD defined in the present document have been established by extensive testing under a wide range of ope

35、rating conditions. The results are summarized in clause A.3. ETSI ETSI TS 146 032 V14.0.0 (2017-04)73GPP TS 46.032 version 14.0.0 Release 145 Functional description The purpose of this clause is to give the reader an understanding of the principles of operation of the VAD, whereas the detailed descr

36、iption is given in clause 3. In case of discrepancy between the two descriptions, the detailed description of clause 3 shall prevail. In the following subclauses of clause 2, a Pascal programming type of notation has been used to describe the algorithm. 5.1 Overview and principles of operation The f

37、unction of the VAD is to distinguish between noise with speech present and noise without speech present. The biggest difficulty for detecting speech in a mobile environment is the very low speech/noise ratios which are often encountered. The accuracy of the VAD is improved by using filtering to incr

38、ease the speech/noise ratio before the decision is made. For a mobile environment, the worst speech/noise ratios are encountered in moving vehicles. It has been found that the noise is relatively stationary for quite long periods in a mobile environment. It is therefore possible to use an adaptive f

39、ilter with coefficients obtained during noise, to remove much of the vehicle noise. The VAD is basically an energy detector. The energy of the filtered signal is compared with a threshold; speech is indicated whenever the threshold is exceeded. The noise encountered in mobile environments may be con

40、stantly 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 constantly adapted. To give reliable detection the threshold must be sufficiently above the noise leve

41、l to avoid noise being identified 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, potentially dangerous for a VAD to update these values on the

42、basis of its own decision. This adaptation therefore only occurs when the signal seems stationary in the frequency domain but does not have the pitch component inherent in voiced speech. A tone detector is also used to prevent adaptation during information tones. A further mechanism is used to ensur

43、e 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 duration

44、to avoid extending noise spikes. 5.2 Algorithm description The block diagram of the VAD algorithm is shown in figure 2.1. The individual blocks are described in the following subclauses.
