30、on 13.0.0 Release 134 Introduction Figure 1 presents a reference configuration where the various speech processing functions are identified. In this figure, the relevant technical specifications for each function are also indicated. In figure 1, the audio parts including analogue to digital and digi
31、tal to analogue conversion are included to show the complete speech path between the audio input/output in the Mobile Station (MS) and the digital interface to the PSTN. The specification of the audio parts are contained in GSM 03.50 2 (Transmission plan aspects of the speech service in the GSM PLMN
32、 system). These aspects are only considered in the GSM 06-series to the extent that the performance of the audio parts affect the performance of the speech transcoder. 5 Full rate speech transcoding (GSM 06.10) As shown in figure 1, the speech encoder takes its input as a 13 bit uniform PCM signal e
33、ither from the audio part of the mobile station or on the network side, from the PSTN via an 8 bit/A-law or -law (PCS 1900) to 13 bit uniform PCM conversion. The encoded speech at the output of the speech encoder is delivered to the channel coding function defined in GSM 05.03 to produce an encoded
34、block consisting of 456 bits leading to a gross bit rate of 22,8 kbit/s. In the receive direction, the inverse operations take place. GSM 06.10 3 describes the detailed mapping between input blocks of 160 speech samples in 13 bit uniform PCM format to encoded blocks of 260 bits and from encoded bloc
35、ks of 260 bits to output blocks of 160 reconstructed speech samples. The sampling rate is 8 000 sample/s leading to an average bit rate for the encoded bit stream of 13 kbit/s. The coding scheme is the so-called Regular Pulse Excitation - Long Term prediction - Linear Predictive Coder, here-after re
36、ferred to as RPE-LTP. The technical specification describes the codec down to the bit level, thus enabling the verification of compliance to the technical specification to a high degree of confidence by use of a set of digital test sequences. These test sequences are also described and are available
37、 on floppy disks. 6 Full rate Discontinuous Transmission (DTX) (GSM 06.31) During a normal conversation, the participants alternate so that, on the average, each direction of transmission is occupied about 50 % of the time. Discontinuous transmission (DTX) is a mode of operation where the transmitte
38、rs are switched on only for those frames which contain useful information. This may be done for the following two purposes: 1) in the MS, battery life will be prolonged or a smaller battery could be used for a given operational duration; 2) the average interference level on the “air“ is reduced, lea
39、ding to better spectrum efficiency. The overall DTX mechanism is implemented in the DTX handlers (TX and RX) described in GSM 06.31 6 and requires the following functions which are described in separate technical specifications: - a Voice Activity Detector on the transmit side; - evaluation of the b
40、ackground acoustic noise on the transmit side, in order to transmit characteristic parameters to the receive side; - generation on the receive side of a similar noise, called comfort noise, during periods where the radio transmission is cut. The transmission of comfort noise information to the recei
41、ve side is achieved by means of a special frame (Silence descriptor = SID). This frame is transmitted at the end of speech bursts and serves as an end of speech marker for the receive side. In order to update the comfort noise characteristics at the receive side, SID frames are transmitted at regula
42、r intervals also during speech pauses. This also serves the purpose of improving the measurement of the radio link quality by the radio subsystem. For the overall DTX functionality, the DTX handlers interwork via various flags with the Radio Subsystem, which is in control of the actual transmitter k
43、eying on the TX side and which performs various pre-processing functions on the RX side. This is also described in GSM 06.31 6. ETSI ETSI TS 146 001 V13.0.0 (2016-01)73GPP TS 46.001 version 13.0.0 Release 13A common terminology used throughout the GSM 06-series of technical specifications is also de
44、fined in the present document. 7 Full rate Voice Activity Detection (VAD) (GSM 06.32) The input to the VAD is a set of parameters computed by the full-rate speech encoder defined in GSM 06.10 3. The VAD uses this information to decide whether each 20 ms speech coder frame contains speech or not. Not
45、e that the VAD flag is an input to TX DTX handler and does not control the transmitter keying directly. The technical specification describes the VAD algorithm down to the bit level. The conventions used in the bit-exact specification are the same as those used in GSM 06.10 3. The verification of co
46、mpliance to the technical specification is achieved by use of digital test sequences applied to the same interface as the test sequences for the speech codec. These test sequences are also described and are available on floppy disks. 8 Full rate comfort noise insertion (GSM 06.12) When switching the
47、 transmission on and off during DTX operation, the effect would be a modulation of the background noise at the receiving end if no precautions were taken. When transmission is on, the background noise is transmitted together with the speech to the receiving end. As the speech burst ends, the connect
48、ion is off and the perceived noise would drop to a very low level. This step modulation of noise is perceived as very annoying and may reduce the intelligibility of speech if presented to a listener without modification. This so-called “noise contrast effect“ is reduced in the GSM system by insertin
49、g an artificial noise, termed comfort noise, at the receiving end when speech is absent. GSM 06.12 5 deals with the detailed aspects of the comfort noise process: - the evaluation of the acoustic background noise in the transmitter; - the noise parameter encoding (SID frames) and decoding; - and the generation of comfort noise in the receiver. The algorithm for updating the noise parameters during speech pauses is also defined. The comfort noise mechanism is based on the full rate speech codec defined in GSM 06.10 3. 9 Full r
