ETSI ETSI TS 146 081 V13.0.0 (2016-01)53GPP TS 46.081 version 13.0.0 Release 131 Scope The present document gives a description of the general baseband operation of Enhanced Full Rate speech traffic channels in the transmitter and in the receiver of GSM Mobile Stations (MS)
22、s and Base Station Systems (BSS)s during Discontinuous Transmission (DTX). For clarity, the description is structured according to the block diagrams in figures 1 and 4. Except in the case described next, this structure of distributing the various functions between system entities is not mandatory f
23、or 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 DTX handlers and the Radio Su
24、b System (RSS) as described in the present document together with all their flags is mandatory, being part of the A-bis interface as described in GSM 08.60 13. The DTX functions described in the present document are mandatory for implementation in the GSM MSs. The receiver requirements are mandatory
25、 for implementation in all GSM BSSs, the transmitter requirements only for those where downlink DTX will be used. 2 References The following documents contain provisions which, through reference in this text, constitute provisions of the present document.

34、 bad traffic frame: traffic frame flagged BFI flag =“1“ (Bad Frame Indication) by the Radio Subsystem. frame: time interval of 20 msec. corresponding to the time segmentation of the Enhanced Full Rate speech transcoder (GSM 06.60 9), also used as a short term for a traffic frame. good speech frame:
35、good traffic frame which is not an accepted SID frame. good traffic frame: traffic frame flagged BFI flag =“0“ by the Radio Subsystem. hangover period: period of 7 frames added at the end of a speech burst in which VAD flag =“0“ and SP flag =“1“. invalid SID frame: accepted SID frame which was not c
36、lassified as valid SID frame. This frame is not valid for updating comfort noise parameters, but the frame conveys information that comfort noise generations should be started or continued. lost SID frame: unusable frame received when the RX DTX handler is generating comfort noise and a SID frame is
37、 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. SID code word: fixed bit pattern defined in GSM 06.62 11, for labelling a traffic frame as a SID frame. SID field: bit positions d
38、efined in GSM 06.62 11, of the SID codeword within a SID frame. SID frame: frame characterized by the SID (SIlence Descriptor) code word. It conveys information on the acoustic background noise. SP flag: boolean flag, generated by the TX DTX handler, indicating the presence of a speech frame (“1“) o
39、r the presence of a SID frame (“0“). speech frame: traffic frame that cannot be classified as a SID frame. TAF flag: Time Alignment Flag. Boolean flag, marks with TAF=1 those traffic frames that are aligned with the SACCH multiframe structure (see GSM 05.08 5). The next SID frame is expected at the
40、decoder when TAF=1. traffic frame: block of 244 information bits transmitted on the Enhanced Full Rate speech traffic channel. unusable frame: bad traffic frame that is not an accepted SID frame. VAD flag: boolean flag, generated by the VAD algorithm defined in GSM 06.82 12 indicating the presence (
41、“1“) or the absence (“0“) of a speech frame. valid SID frame: good traffic frame flagged with SID=“2“ by the Radio Subsystem. This frame is valid for updating of comfort noise parameters at any time. ETSI ETSI TS 146 081 V13.0.0 (2016-01)73GPP TS 46.081 version 13.0.0 Release 133.2 Symbols For the p

44、etector For abbreviations not given in this clause, see GSM 01.04 1. 4 General Discontinuous Transmission (DTX) is a mechanism which allows the radio transmitter to be switched off most of the time during speech pauses for the following two purposes: - to save power in the Mobile Station (MS); - to
45、reduce the overall interference level over the air interface; DTX shall be in operation in GSM MS if commanded so by the network, see GSM 04.08 2. 4.1 General organization The overall DTX mechanism described in the present document requires the following functions: - a Voice Activity Detector (VAD)
46、on the transmit (TX) side; - evaluation of the background acoustic noise on the transmit (TX) side, in order to transmit characteristic parameters to the receive (RX) side; - generation on the receive (RX) side of a similar noise, called comfort noise, during periods where the radio transmission is
47、switched off. The Voice Activity Detector (VAD) is defined in GSM 06.82 12 and the comfort noise functions in GSM 06.62 11. Both are based partly on the speech transcoder and its internal variables, defined in GSM 06.60 9. In addition to these functions, if the parameters arriving at the RX side are
48、 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. This function is defined in GSM 06.61 10. An overall description of the speech processing parts can be found in GSM 06.51
