9、PULSE CODE MODULATION (ADPCM) 1 Introduction This Recommendation contains the specification of an embedded Adaptive Differential Pulse Code Modulation (ADPCM) algorithms with 5-, 4-, 3- and 2-bits per sample (Le., at rates of 40, 32, 24 and 16 kbit/s). The characteristics below are recommended for t
10、he conversion of 64 kbit/s. A-law or p-law PCM channels to/ from variable rate-embedded ADPCM channels. The Recommendation defines the transcoding law when the source signal is a pulse-code modulation signal at a pulse rate of 64 kbit/s developed from voice frequency analog signals as fully specifie
11、d by Blue Book Volume, Recommendation G.711. Applications where the encoder is aware and the decoder is not aware of the way in which the ADPCM codeword bits have been altered, or when both the encoder and decoder are aware of the ways the codewords are altered, or where neither the encoder nor the
12、decoder are aware of the ways in which the bits have been altered can benefit from other embedded ADPCM algorithms. 2 General The embedded ADPCM algorithms specified here are extensions of the ADPCM algorithms defined in Recommendation G.726 and are recommended for use in packetized speech systems o
13、perating according to the Packetized Voice Protocol (PVP) specified in draft Recommendation G.764. PVP is able to relieve congestion by modifying the size of a speech packet when the need arises. Utilizing the embedded property of the algorithm described here, the least significant bit(s) of each co
14、deword can be disregarded at packetization points and/or intermediate nodes to relieve congestion. This provides for significantly better performance than by dropping packets during congestion. Section 3 outlines a description of the ADPCM transcoding algorithm. Figure UG.727 shows a simplified bloc
15、k diagram of the encoder and the decoder. Sections 4 and 5 provide the principles and functional descriptions of the ADPCM encoding and decoding algorithms, respectively. Section 6 contains the computational details of the algorithm. In this section, each sub-block in the encoder and decoder is prec
16、isely defined using one particular logical sequence. If other methods of computation are used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that they yield exactly the same value for the output processing variables. Any further departures from the processes detailed in Section 6 will incur performance pen
17、alties which may be severe.

19、opping outside the encoder and decoder blocks. They consist of a series of algorithms such that the decision levels of the lower rates quantizers are subsets of the quantizer at the highest rate. This allows bit reductions at any point in the network without the need of coordination between the tran
20、smitter and the receiver. In contrast, the decision levels of the conventional ADPCM algorithms. such as those in Recommendation G.726, are not subsets of one another and therefore, the transmitter must inform the receiver of the coding rate the encoding algorithm. Embedded algorithms can accommodat
21、e the unpredictable and bursty characteristics of traffic patterns that require congestion relief. Because congestion relief may occur after the encoding is performed, embedded coding is different from variable-rate coding where the encoder and decoder must use the same number of bits in each sample
22、. In both cases, the decoder must be told the number of bits to use in each sample. 2 Recommendation G.727 COPYRIGHT International Telecommunications Union/ITU TelecommunicationsLicensed by Information Handling ServicesCCITT RECMN*G-727 70 4462591 05bL89L B Embedded algorithms produce code words whi
23、ch contain enhancement bits and core bits. The Feed-Forward CFF) path utilizes enhancement and core bits, while the Feedback (FB) path uses core bits only. The inverse quantizer and the predictor of both the encoder and the decoder use the core bits. With this structure, enhancement bits can be disc
24、arded or dropped during network congestion. However, the number of core bits in the FB paths of both the encoder and decoder must remain the same to avoid mistracking. The four embedded ADPCM rates are 40, 32, 24 and 16 kbit/s, where the decision levels for the 32, 24 and 16 kbit/s quantizers are su
25、b-sets of those for the 40 kbit/s quantizer. Embedded ADPCM algorithms are referred to by (x, y) pairs where x refers to the FF (enhancement and core) ADPCM bits and y refers to the FB (core) ADPCM bits. For example, if y is set to 2 bits, (5,2) will represent the 40 kbits/s embedded algorithm, (4,2
26、) will represent the 32 kbit/s embedded algorithm, (3,2) will represent the 24 kbit/s embedded algorithm and (2,2) the 16 kbit/s algorithm. The bit rate is never less than 16 kbit/s because the minimum number of core bits is 2. Simplified block diagrams of both the embedded ADPCM encoder and decoder
27、 are shown in Figure UG.727. The Recommendation provides coding rates of 40,32,24 and 16 kbit/s and core rates of 32,24 and 16 kbit/s. This corresponds to the following pairs: (5,2), (4,2), (3,2), (2,2); (5,3), (4,3), (3,3); (5,4), (4,4). 3.1 ADPCM encoder Subsequent to the conversion of the A-law o
28、r p-law PCM input signal to uniform PCM, a difference signal is obtained by subtracting an estimate of the input signal from the input signal itself. An adaptive 4-, 8-, 16- or 32-level quantizer is used to assign 2,3,4 or 5 binary digits to the value of the difference signal for transmission to the
29、 decoder. (Not all the bits necessarily arrive at the decoder since some of these bits can be dropped to relieve congestion in the packet network. For a given received sample, however, the core bits are guaranteed arrival if there are no transmission errors and the packets arrive at destination.) FE
30、3 bits are fed to the inverse quantizer. The number of core bits depends on the embedded algorithm selected. For example, the (5,2) algorithm will always contain 2 core bits. The inverse quantizer produces a quantized difference signal from these binary digits. The signal estimate is added to this q
31、uantized difference signal to produce the reconstructed version of the input signal. Both the reconstructed signal and the quantized difference signal are operated upon by an adaptive predictor which produces the estimate of the input signal, thereby completing the feedback loop. 3.2 ADPCM decoder T
32、he decoder includes a structure identical to the FB portion of the encoder. In addition, there is also an FF path that contains a uniform PCM to A-law or p-law conversion. The core as well as the enhancement bits are used by the synchronous coding adjustment block to prevent cumulative distortion on
33、 synchronous tandem codings (ADPCM-PCM-ADPCM, etc., digital connections) under certain conditions (see Q 5.10). The synchronous coding adjustment is achieved by adjusting the PCM output codes to eliminate quantizing distorsion in the next ADPCM encoding stage. 3.3 Ones density requirements These alg
34、orithms produce the all-zero code words. If requirements on ones density exist in national networks, other methods should be used to ensure that this requirement is satisfied.
