9、mendation ITU-T G.160 applies to the characteristics, performance and testing of voice enhancement devices (VEDs) for use in digital network-based equipment. Such devices are commonly found in mobile networks and this version of this Recommendation is only applicable to mobile networks. VEDs are def

10、ined as certain signal processing network functions (SPNFs) (such as noise reduction and acoustic echo control) in the digital transmission path that perform voice enhancement functions on voiceband signals that traverse mobile networks. Voice enhancement functions include the control of acoustic ec

11、ho generated by wireless handsets, noise reduction, and the recognition and accommodation of tandem free operation (TFO) and interworking function (IWF) signals. The current version of this Recommendation does not include certain tests that are still under study. In particular, it does not contain a

12、ny objective tests covering voice quality performance of noise reduction functions, although a placeholder for such a test is given. In the meantime, the reader should be aware that voice quality performance of noise reduction functions is not addressed by this version of this Recommendation. Append

13、ix II presents an objective methodology for characterizing the basic effect of noise reduction (NR) methods and is accompanied by a reference ANSI-C source code. Three objective measures are specified for characterizing NR solutions. Recommendation target value ranges in specified conditions are giv

14、en for the measures to serve as basic guidelines for the proper functioning of NR methods. This Recommendation includes an electronic attachment containing: Reference ANSI-C source code and test vectors for implementing Appendix II for noise suppression performance measurement.

ITU-T G.160 (06/2012) FOREWORD The International Telecommunication Union (ITU) is the United Nations specialized

16、agency in the field of telecommunications, information and communication technologies (ICTs). The ITU Telecommunication Standardization Sector (ITU-T) is a permanent organ of ITU. ITU-T is responsible for studying technical, operating and tariff questions and issuing Recommendations on them with a v

17、iew to standardizing telecommunications on a worldwide basis. The World Telecommunication Standardization Assembly (WTSA), which meets every four years, establishes the topics for study by the ITU-T study groups which, in turn, produce Recommendations on these topics. The approval of ITU-T Recommend

18、ations is covered by the procedure laid down in WTSA Resolution 1. In some areas of information technology which fall within ITU-Ts purview, the necessary standards are prepared on a collaborative basis with ISO and IEC. NOTE In this Recommendation, the expression “Administration“ is used for concis

19、eness to indicate both a telecommunication administration and a recognized operating agency. Compliance with this Recommendation is voluntary. However, the Recommendation may contain certain mandatory provisions (to ensure, e.g., interoperability or applicability) and compliance with the Recommendat

20、ion is achieved when all of these mandatory provisions are met. The words “shall“ or some other obligatory language such as “must“ and the negative equivalents are used to express requirements. The use of such words does not suggest that compliance with the Recommendation is required of any party. I

ITU takes no position concerning the evidence, validity or applicability of claimed Intellectual Property Rights

As of the date of approval of this Recommendation, ITU had not received notice of intellectual property, protected by patents, which may be required to implement this Recommendation.

ITU-T G.160 (06/2012) 1 Recommendation ITU-T G.160 Voice enhancement devices1 Scope This Recommendation applies to the characteristics, performance and testing of voice enhancement

31、 devices (VEDs) for use in digital network-based equipment. Such devices are commonly found in mobile networks, and this version of the Recommendation is only applicable for mobile networks. VEDs are defined as certain signal processing network functions (SPNFs) (such as noise reduction and acoustic

32、 echo control) in the digital transmission path that perform voice enhancement functions on voiceband signals that traverse mobile networks. Possible locations for VEDs located in mobile networks are shown in Appendix I. Voice enhancement functions covered by this Recommendation include the control

33、of acoustic echo generated by wireless handsets, noise reduction, and the recognition and accommodation of tandem free operation (TFO) and interworking function (IWF) signals. The purpose of this Recommendation is to define certain performance constraints for VEDs and, where appropriate, to define l

34、aboratory tests that may be performed on a VED to verify that these constraints are met. A VED that satisfies all the constraints and passes all of the tests in this Recommendation should ensure (but will not guarantee) that the pre-existing standard of the overall network performance (e.g., the tra

35、nsmission of speech, voiceband data and other voiceband signals, ISDN, etc.) is not degraded when the VED is installed in the network. This Recommendation also describes the general characteristics of VEDs and indicates what characteristics are important to provide acceptable performance in the netw

36、ork. Issues relating to the interaction of VEDs with other network and subscriber equipment are also discussed in this Recommendation. This Recommendation does not define a standard algorithm for voice enhancement functions. Nor does it apply to either electrical echo control (governed by ITU-T G.16

37、8) or automatic level control (governed by b-ITU-T G.169). Note that VEDs may be incorporated into other network equipment, such as the transcoder or electrical echo canceller. In this case, the performance requirements of this Recommendation refer to the performance of the VED only. Note that some

38、terminal devices (e.g., mobile stations) incorporate voice enhancement functions (acoustic echo control, noise reduction, etc.) that are similar to those performed by the VED. This Recommendation does not apply to functions contained in these terminal devices. 2 Rec. ITU-T G.160 (06/2012) 2 Referenc
