3.14 MS Ambient Noise Rejection

3GPP43.050Release 17Transmission planning aspects of the speech service in the GSM Public Land Mobile Network (PLMN) systemTS

For a dual mode GSM/3GPP telephone as well as for a single mode GSM MS ambient noise rejection ANR shall be as specified for narrowband telephony transmission in [49] TS 26.131Compliance shall be checked according to the procedures described in [50] 3GPP TS 26.132.

NOTE 1: For transmission planning purposes. Interfaces A and A bis are not required.

NOTE 2: The speech transcoder may be at either the BTS or the BSC.

Figure 1: Basic Configuration for Interworking with the PSTN

NOTE 1: Speech detection is incorporated in the speech transcoder. Speech detection is needed to provide the function of DTX and, if required, acoustic echo control (see note 2).

NOTE 2: Acoustic echo control may not be provided in the case of the headset.

NOTE 3: Includes filtering.

NOTE 4: In the case of direct MSC to MSC connections, the EEC function should not be active. The EEC device should be either disabled or not inserted in the circuit.

NOTE 5: In single talk and in double talk, when no centre clipper is used, and in double talk only if a centre clipper is used, the level of quantizing noise introduced by the speech transcoding will effect the level of residual acoustic echo when echo cancellation techniques are used for AEC.

NOTE 6: The transmission system need not be present.

Figure 2: PLMN System Model Used for Consideration of Transmission Planning Issues

NOTE 1: A direct link between MSC and ISC may be used in cases where Signalling System No. 7 is not provided in the PSTN or where a link via the PSTN would have excessive delay.

NOTE 2: An echo canceller should be provided at every POI to cancel any echo returning to the PLMN from the PSTN. This is necessary because the one‑way echo path back to the MS greatly exceeds 25 ms (see ITU‑T Recommendation G.131).

NOTE 3: A direct link between MSCs reduces the number of echo control devices that need to be provided and avoids the tandem connection of such devices. These direct links may be expected to have less delay than PSTN connections.

NOTE 4: This arrangement may be provided.
