36、D Voice Activity Detector For abbreviations not given in this clause, see GSM 01.04 1. 4 General A basic problem when using DTX is that the background acoustic noise, which is transmitted together with the speech, would disappear when the radio transmission is cut, resulting in discontinuities of th
37、e background noise. Since the DTX switching can take place rapidly, it has been found that this effect can be very annoying for the listener - especially in a car environment with high background noise levels. In bad cases, the speech may be hardly intelligible. The present document specifies the wa
38、y to overcome this problem by generating on the receive (RX) side synthetic noise similar to the transmit (TX) side background noise. The comfort noise parameters are estimated on the TX side and transmitted to the RX side before the radio transmission is switched off and at a regular low rate after
39、wards. This allows the comfort noise to adapt to the changes of the noise on the TX side. 5 Functions on the transmit (TX) side The comfort noise evaluation algorithm uses the following parameters of the GSM Enhanced Full Rate speech encoder, defined in GSM 06.60 3: - the unquantized and quantized L
40、inear Prediction (LP) parameters, using the Line Spectral Pair (LSP) representation, where the unquantized Line Spectral Frequency (LSF) vector is given by fTff f=12 10. , the quantized LSF vector is given by $ $.$fTff f=12 10, and the two sets of unquantized and quantized LSF vectors (one for each
41、half of a frame) are given by f()1, f()2, $f()1and $f()2, respectively; - the quantized fixed-codebook gain $gc. The algorithm also computes the following parameters to assist in comfort noise generation: - the reference LSF parameter vector $fref(average of the quantized LSF parameters of the hango
42、ver period); - the averaged LSF parameter vector fmean(average of the LSF parameters of the eight most recent frames); - the reference fixed codebook gain $gcref(average of the quantized fixed codebook gain values of the hangover period); - the averaged fixed codebook gain gcmean(average of the fixe
43、d codebook gain values of the eight most recent frames); - the unquantized fixed codebook gain gc. These parameters give information on the level ( gc, $gc, $gcref, gcmean) and the spectrum ( f()1, f()2, $f()1, $f()2, $fref, fmean) of the background noise. Two of the evaluated comfort noise paramete
44、rs ( fmeanand gcmean) are encoded into a special frame, called a Silence Descriptor (SID) frame, for transmission to the RX side. Since the reference LSF parameter vector $frefand the reference fixed codebook gain $gcrefcan be evaluated in the same way in the encoder and decoder, as given in clause
45、5.1, no transmission of these parameters is necessary. ETSI ETSI TS 146 062 V13.0.0 (2016-01)83GPP TS 46.062 version 13.0.0 Release 13The averaged LSF parameter and fixed codebook gain values, fmeanand gcmean, are computed in the encoder using both quantized and unquantized parameter values if the p
46、eriod of the eight most recent frames (the SID averaging period) is overlapping with the hangover period (the parameters from the frames overlapping with the hangover period have quantized values, while the parameters of the more recent frames of the SID averaging period have unquantized values). If
47、 the period of the eight most recent frames is non-overlapping with the hangover period, the averaged LSF parameter and fixed codebook gain values are computed using only unquantized parameter values. The SID frame also serves to initiate the comfort noise generation on the receive side, as a SID fr
48、ame is always sent at the end of a speech burst, i.e., before the radio transmission is terminated. The scheduling of SID or speech frames on the radio path is described in GSM 06.81 5. 5.1 Background acoustic noise evaluation The comfort noise parameters to be encoded into a SID frame are calculate
