ETSI ETSI TS 146 031 V13.0.0 (2016-01)53GPP TS 46.031 version 13.0.0 Release 131 Scope The present document gives a description of the general baseband operation of full rate speech traffic channels in the transmitter and in the rec
21、eiver of GSM Mobile Stations (MS)s and Base Station Systems (BSS)s during Discontinuous Transmission (DTX). For clarity, the description is structured according the block diagrams in figures 1 and 4. Except in the case described next, this structure of distributing the various functions between syst
22、em entities is not mandatory for implementation, as long as the operation on the air interface and on the speech decoder output remains the same. In the case of BSSs where the speech transcoder is located remotely in the Base Station Controller (BSC), the implementation of the interfaces between the
23、 DTX Handlers and the Radio Subsystem (RSS) as described in the present document together with all their flags is mandatory, being a part of the A-bis- interface as described in GSM 08.60. In this case the various flags also serve to avoid additional delays. The DTX functions described in the presen
24、t document are mandatory for implementation in all GSM MSs. The receiver requirements are mandatory for implementation in all GSM BSSs, the transmitter requirements only for those where downlink DTX will be used. DTX shall be in operation in GSM MSs if commanded so by the network, see GSM 04.08. 2 R

32、s frame: time interval of 20 msec. corresponding to the time segmentation of the full rate speech transcoder (GSM 06.10), also used as a short term for a traffic frame. traffic frame: block of 260 information bits (see GSM 05.03) transmitted on the full rate speech traffic channel.

33、criptor frame: frame characterized by the SID code word. It conveys information on the acoustic background noise. SID code word: fixed bit pattern defined in GSM 06.12, for labelling a traffic frame as a SID frame. SID field: bit positions defined in GSM 06.12, of the SID codeword within a SID frame
34、. speech frame: traffic frame that cannot be classified as a SID frame. 3.2 Definition of terms on the receive side bad traffic frame: traffic frame flagged BFI=1 (Bad Frame Indication) by the Radio Subsystem. good traffic frame: traffic frame flagged BFI=0 by the Radio Subsystem. good speech frame:
35、 good traffic frame which is not an accepted SID frame. accepted SID frame: traffic frame in which the SID field deviates in less than 16 bit positions from the SID code word (flag SID=2 or SID=1). valid SID frame: good traffic frame in which the SID field deviates in less than 2 bit positions from
36、the SID code word (flag SID=2). This frame is valid for updating of comfort noise parameters at any time. invalid SID frame: accepted SID frame with BFI=1, or accepted SID frame with BFI=0, in which the SID field deviates in more than 1 bit position from the SID code word (flag SID=1). This frame is
37、 not valid for updating comfort noise parameters, but the frame conveys information that comfort noise generations should be started or continued. unusable frame: bad traffic frame that is not an accepted SID frame. lost SID frame: unusable frame received when the RX DTX Handler is generating comfor
38、t noise and a SID frame is expected (Time Alignment Flag, TAF=1). lost speech frame: unusable frame received when the RX DTX Handler is passing on traffic frames directly to the speech decoder. 4 General Discontinuous Transmission is a mechanism which allows the radio transmitter to be switched off
39、most of the time during speech pauses for the following two purposes: - to save power in the MS; - to reduce the overall interference level on the air. ETSI ETSI TS 146 031 V13.0.0 (2016-01)73GPP TS 46.031 version 13.0.0 Release 134.1 General organization The overall DTX mechanism described in the p
40、resent document requires the following functions: - a Voice Activity Detector on the transmit side; - evaluation of the background 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 comf
41、ort noise, during periods where the radio transmission is cut. The Voice Activity Detector is defined in GSM 06.32 “Voice Activity Detector“, the comfort noise functions in GSM 06.12 “Comfort Noise Aspects“. Both are based partly on the speech transcoder and its internal variables, defined in GSM 06
42、.10 “GSM Full Rate Speech Transcoding“. In addition to these functions, if the parameters arriving at the receive side are detected to be seriously corrupted by errors, the speech or comfort noise must be generated from substituted data in order to avoid seriously annoying effects for the listener.
43、This function is defined in GSM 06.11 “Substitution and Muting of Lost Frames“. An overall description of the speech processing parts can be found in GSM 06.01 “Processing functions“. 4.2 Naming convention Clause 3 lists the definitions of terms relevant for the DTX functions, as used in this and th
44、e technical specifications mentioned above. 5 Transmit side A block diagram of the transmit side DTX functions is shown in figure 1.

45、diagram of the transmit side DTX functions 5.1 General operation The TX DTX Handler continuously passes traffic frames, individually marked by a flag SP, to the Radio Subsystem. This binary flag is redundant to the SID code word labelling. SP=1 indicates a speech frame, SP=0 a SID frame. ETSI ETSI T
46、S 146 031 V13.0.0 (2016-01)83GPP TS 46.031 version 13.0.0 Release 13The scheduling of the frames for transmission on the air interface is controlled by the radio subsystem alone, on the basis of the SP flag as described next. 5.1.1 Functions of the TX DTX handler To allow an exact verification of th
47、e TX DTX handler functions, all frames before the reset of the system have to be treated as if there would have been speech frames for an infinitely long time. Therefore, the first N frames after the reset are always marked with SP=1, even if VAD=0 (hangover period, see below). The Voice Activity De
48、tector must be operating all the time in order to assess whether the input signal contains speech or not. The output is a binary flag (VAD=1 or VAD=0, respectively) on a frame by frame basis (see GSM 06.32). The VAD flag controls indirectly, via the TX DTX Handler operations described below, the ove
49、rall DTX operation on the transmit side. Whenever VAD=1, the speech encoder output frame shall be passed directly to the radio subsystem, marked with SP=1. At the end of a speech burst (transition VAD=1 to VAD=0), it takes N+1 consecutive frames to make a new updated SID frame available (see GSM 06.12). Normally, the first N speech encoder output frames after the end of the speech burst shall therefore be passed directly to the radio subsystem, marked with SP=1 (“hangover period“). The first new SID frame is then passed to the RSS as frame N+1 afte
