9、ommunication systems Summary This appendix defines a comfort noise payload format (or bit-stream) for ITU-T G.711 use in packet- based multimedia communication systems. The use of the payload format is intended for packet-based systems with a large header overhead where the packet transmission rate

10、plays a significant role in the overall system bit-rate. In this situation, the use of VADTXCNG can significantly reduce the packet transmission rate and hence improve the bandwidth efficiency.

21、ines a comfort noise payload format (or bit-stream) for ITU-T G.711 use in packet- based multimedia communication systems. The payload format is generic and may also be used with other speech codecs without built-in Discontinuous Transmission (DTX) capability such as ITU-T Recommendations G.726 i, G

22、.727 2, G.728 3, and G.722 4. The payload format provides a minimum interoperability specification for communication of comfort noise parameters. The comfort noise analysis and synthesis as well as the Voice Activity Detection (VAD) and DTX algorithms are unspecified and left implementation-specific

23、. However, an example solution has been tested and is described. It uses the VAD and DTX of G.729 Annex B 5 and a comfort noise generation algorithm (CNG) which is provided for information. The use of the payload format is intended for packet-based systems with a large header overhead where the pack

24、et transmission rate plays a significant role in the overall system bit-rate. In this situation, the use of VADDTWCNG can significantly reduce the packet transmission rate and hence improve the bandwidth efficiency. 11.2 Comfort noise payload definition The comfort noise payload consists of a descri

25、ption of the noise level and spectral information in the form of reflection coefficients. The use of spectral information is optional and the all-pole model order is left unspecified. The encoder can determine the appropriate model order based on such considerations as quality, complexity, expected

26、environmental noise and signal bandwidth. The model order is not explicitly transmitted since it can be derived from the length of the payload at the receiver. For complexity or other reasons, the decoder may reduce the model order by setting higher order reflection coefficients to zero. 11.2.1 Nois

27、e level The noise level is expressed in dov, with values fkom O to 127 representing O to -127 dBov. dBov is the level relative to the overload of the system. The noise level is packed with the Most Significant Bit (MSB) first with the unused bit always set to O according to Figure II. 1, O 1 2 3 4 5

From the polynomial: M A(z) = 1 - Xcy-j j-i obtained by linear predi

29、ction analysis, the set of refl ection coefficients may be obtained from the set of LPC coefficients using a backward recursion of the form: where i goes from M , to A4 - 1 , down to 1 with the initial condition: ai (W = a.

The quantized value is represented by the 8 bit index N, where N = O, . , 254, and index N = 255 is reserved for future use.

31、 Each index N is packed into a separate byte with the MSB first. The quantized value of each reflection coefficient can be obtained fi-om its corresponding index using: ki (Ni) = - 258 * (Ni-127) forNi =O, ., 254;-1 0.06) end Th = 0.06 end The reflection coefficients k, (i) are computed fiom the sel

33、duces comfort noise by passing a scaled white noise excitation through a linear prediction synthesis filter. The details follow in the following subclauses. 11.5.1.2.1 Parameter update The reflection coefficients from the last received SID fiame are used in the current frame. Let the last received c

34、omfort noise parameters be denoted LESID where the energy has been converted from dBov to base-2 logarithm. The energy used in the current fiame is given by: LE(i)=LE(i-l).a+LESID .(i.o-a) where a = 0.9. This smoothing procedure is done to avoid any abrupt changes in signal energy in the comfort noi

35、se. 11.5.1.2.2 Excitation generation A random number generator with a Gaussian distribution is used to produce the sequence Rn that is scaled by the factor q to the correct energy according to the equation: where L is the length of the excitation, and E(i) is the frame energy. A constant approximati

36、on for the denominator of the above equation is used to avoid the dot product operation and reduce complexity.

38、 j=l The scaled excitation is passed through the filter to produce the final comfort noise. The length of the excitation L is, in general, equal to the frame length. However, for the first inactive frame following an active frame, L is equal to the frame length plus the model order (M). In this case

39、, the first M output samples from the synthesis filter are ignored. 11.5.1.3 Delay There is no delay inherent in the comfort noise algorithm. 11.5.1.4 Complexity The algorithm has been implemented in 16-bit fixed-point using the ITU-T software Tool Library. The memory and resource usage at different

40、 frame sizes operating at 8.0 kHz sampling rate and a 10th order all-pole model is summarized in Table II.2. The WMOPS are obtained using the operations counter within the library and represent the worst case. The ROM is the estimated size on a typical fixed-point DSP. Table II.2/G.711- CNG Resource
