5、adset telephones Summary Recommendation ITU-T P.310 provides audio performance requirements and associated testing methods for narrow-band (300-3400 Hz) digital handset and headset telephones. Requirements and test methods are specified for the major audio transmission parameters including sending a

6、nd receiving frequency response, loudness rating, noise, distortion, out-of-band signals, linearity, sidetone, echo and delay. This Recommendation is only applicable to digital telephones using encoding conforming to Recommendations ITU-T G.711 (64 kbit/s, PCM) and ITU-T G.726 (32 kbit/s, ADPCM). IP

7、 terminals and wireless headsets are not covered in this recommendation. Source Recommendation ITU-T P.310 was approved on 22 June 2009 by ITU-T Study Group 12 (2009-2012) under Recommendation ITU-T A.8 procedures. ii Rec. ITU-T P.310 (06/2009) FOREWORD The International Telecommunication Union (ITU

8、) is the United Nations specialized 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 issu

9、ing Recommendations on them with a view 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 top

10、ics. The approval of ITU-T Recommendations 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

11、 “Administration“ is used for conciseness 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)

12、and compliance with the Recommendation 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 Recomme

13、ndation is required of any party. INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS ITU draws attention to the possibility that the practice or implementation of this Recommendation may involve the use of a claimed Intellectual Property Right. ITU takes no position concerning the evidence, validity or applicability of c

14、laimed Intellectual Property Rights, whether asserted by ITU members or others outside of the Recommendation development process. 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 Rec

20、ording to ITU-T G.711 (PCM at both 64 and 56 kbit/s) and ITU-T G.726 (ADPCM, 32 kbit/s). IP terminals and wireless headsets are not covered in this Recommendation. The use of digital telephones using ITU-T G.728 (LD-CELP, 16 kbit/s) and mobile/cordless telephones are under study. Requirements applic

The requirements listed in this Recommendation should also be used as the basis of requirements for other “waveform“ encoding schemes. The values given in this Recommendation should be

22、used for developing specifications which will include assigning tolerances, etc. 2 References The following ITU-T Recommendations and other references contain provisions which, through reference in this text, constitute provisions of this Recommendation.

33、ons and abbreviations 3.1 Definitions This Recommendation defines the following terms: 3.1.1 0 dB reference point: To preserve compatibility with existing codecs already in use in local digital switches, which are defined as a 0 dBr point, the codec (A- or -law) should be defined as follows: D/A con

34、verter A digital test sequence (DTS) representing the PCM equivalent of an analogue sinusoidal signal whose r.m.s. value is 3.14 dB (A-law) or 3.17 dB (-law) below the maximum full-loaded capacity of the codec will generate 0 dBm across a 600-ohm load. Here DTS is defined as a periodic sequence of c

35、haracter signals as given in ITU-T G.711. A/D converter A 0 dBm signal generated from a 600-ohm source will give the digital test sequence representing the PCM equivalent of an analogue sinusoidal signal whose r.m.s. value is 3.14 dB (A-law) or 3.17 dB (-law) below the maximum full load capacity of

36、the codec. Rec. ITU-T P.310 (06/2009) 3 3.1.2 acoustic reference level (ARL): Defined as the acoustic level at MRP which results in a 10 dBm0 output at the digital interface. 3.1.3 digital telephone set (DT): A digital telephone set is one in which the A/D and D/A converters are built in and the con

37、nection to the network is via a digital bitstream. 3.1.4 HATS position: The HATS (head and torso simulator) position (see Annexes D and E of ITU-T P.64) is the correct handset position for measuring sensitivity and frequency response characteristics. The HATS position has been shown to be essentiall

38、y identical to the LRGP (loudness rating guard-ring position), except for the mouth simulator direction, which has been corrected with a 19 downwards rotation to more closely match real talkers. For handsets with omnidirectional microphones, measurements on the two heads may differ slightly, typical

39、ly less than 1 dB. For handsets with directional or noise-cancelling microphones, the differences will be larger, and the HATS position will give the more realistic results. 3.2 Abbreviations Relevant abbreviations in ITU-T P.10 will apply.

44、 and the codec approach. The direct approach is, in principle, the most accurate although the use of the codec approach may sometimes be advantageous. ITU-T recommends both methods to evaluate the voice transmission performance of a digital handset or headset telephone using “Waveform“ encoding conf

The advantage is that most of the te

46、st signals, if sampled at 8 kHz, can be generated and analysed without the need for resampling and A/D or D/A conversion.

47、oach In this approach, shown in Figure 4-2, a codec is used to convert the companded digital input/output bitstream of the telephone set to the equivalent analogue values, so that existing test procedures and equipment can be used. This codec should be a high-quality codec whose characteristics are

48、as close as possible to ideal (see clause 4.2.2).

ITU-T P.310 (06/2009) 5 NOTE The digital telephone test equipment will, in

49、general, be connected to the telephone under test through an interface. Such an interface should be able to provide all the signalling and supervisory sequences necessary for the telephone set to be working in all test modes. The interface must be capable of converting the digital output stream from the tested set (which may be in various formats, depending on the specific type of telephone set, e.g., conforming to ITU-T I.412 for ISDN sets), to a form compatible with the test equipment.
