44、eneral Project History In June 1998 during SMG#26, SMG approved a Work Item to develop and standardise a noise suppression solution for the Adaptive Multi-rate (AMR) speech codec. SMG11 have carried out this work since September 1998 (SMG11#7). The work in SMG11 focussed on the preparations for a Se
45、lection Phase with the intention of choosing an example optional noise suppression solution. In the course of this work, documentation covering Requirements 2, Design Constraints, Selection Phase Deliverables, Selection Phase Rules, and a Selection Phase Test Plan were drafted. In August 1999 the Se
46、lection Phase commenced. Six Noise Suppression algorithms were submitted as candidates. The algorithm proposals came from Ericsson (NS5), Matra Norte1 Communications (MNC) (NS4), Mitsubishi Electric Corporation (NSl), Motorola (NS6), Nokia (NS3) and Siemens AG (NS2). Testing of candidate solutions w
47、as carried out during September-November 1999, and the listening test results were analysed at two meetings: SMG11#13 (December 1999) and SMG11#14 (January 2000). Listening test results and deliverables from proponents (technical descriptions of the algorithms, analysis of compliance to design const
48、raints, additional information such as objective measurements) were reviewed within SMG11. SMG11 were not able to reach a consensus on selecting an example solution, and as a consequence the deliverables from the Work Item were amended during SMG#3 1 to comprise of a specification defining Recommend
49、ed Minimum Performance Requirements TBA, an associated Subjective Listening Test Plan, and a Technical Report recording all pertinent information arising from the Selection Phase. This document forms the latter deliverable. 4.2 Overview of the AMR-NS Work Item The Work Item covered the development of a noise suppression algorithm as an example optional feature designed to enhance speech quality in a range of environments where there is significant (acoustic) background noise. The noise suppression function is a preprocessing
