The present document describes a generic frame format for the Adaptive Multi-Rate (AMR) speech codec and the Enhanced Full Rate (GSM-EFR) speech codec. This format shall be used as a common reference point when interfacing speech frames between different elements of the 3G system and between different systems. Appropriate mappings to and from this generic frame format will be used within and between each system element.

Annex A describes a second frame format which shall be used when octet alignment of AMR frames is required.
