This Telecommunication Standard (TS) describes the detailed mapping from input blocks of 320 speech samples in 16‑bit uniform PCM format to encoded blocks of 132, 177, 253, 285, 317, 365, 397, 461 and 477 bits and from encoded blocks of 132, 177, 253, 285, 317, 365, 397, 461 and 477 bits to output blocks of 320 reconstructed speech samples. The sampling rate is 16 000 samples/s leading to a bit rate for the encoded bit stream of 6.60, 8.85, 12.65, 14.25, 15.85, 18.25, 19.85, 23.05 or 23.85 kbit/s. The coding scheme for the multi-rate coding modes is the so‑called Algebraic Code Excited Linear Prediction Coder, hereafter referred to as ACELP. The multi-rate wideband ACELP coder is referred to as MRWB-ACELP.
