10 Alternative Enhanced Full Rate implementation using the Adaptive Multi Rate 12.2 kbit/s mode

3GPP46.054Release 17Test sequences for the GSM Enhanced Full Rate (EFR) speech codecTS

The 12.2 kbit/s mode of the Adaptive Multi Rate speech coder described in TS 26.071 is functionally equivalent to the GSM Enhanced Full Rate speech coder. An alternative implementation of the Enhanced Full Rate speech service based on the 12.2 kbit/s mode of the Adaptive Multi Rate coder is allowed. Alternative implementations shall implement the functionality specified in TS 26.071 for the 12.2 kbit/s mode, with the difference that the DTX transmission format from GSM 06.81, the comfort noise generation from GSM 06.62 and the decoder homing frame from GSM 06.60 shall be used.

The test sequences are derived from the corresponding AMR test sequences. The modifications that were made and the use of the respective sequences are described below. The input sequences are identical to the AMR test input sequences *.inp.

Speech codec test sequences

  • with DTX disabled

t00.inp … t22.inp (encoder input, from TS 26.074)

t00_efr.cod … t22_efr.cod (encoder output)

t00_efr.dec … t22_efr.dec (decoder input)

t00_efr.out … t22_efr.out (decoder output)

  • with DTX enabled, VAD option 1

Dtx1.inp … Dtx4.inp (encoder input, from TS 26.074)

Dtx1_efr.cod … Dtx4_efr.cod (encoder output)

Dtx1_efr.dec … Dtx4_efr.dec (decoder input)

Dtx1_efr.out … Dtx4_efr.out (decoder output)

  • with DTX enabled, VAD option 2

Dt21.inp …. Dt24.inp (encoder input, from TS 26.074)

Dt21_efr.cod … Dt24_efr.cod (encoder output)

Dt21_efr.dec … Dt24_efr.dec (decoder input)

Dt21_efr.out … Dt24_efr.out (decoder output)

The format of the *.cod files is identical to the GSM_EFR *.cod file format (244 Data Bits, VadFlag, SpFlag equaling 246 Words per 20ms frame). The format of the *.dec files is identical to the GSM_EFR *.dec file format, that is (Bfi, 244 Data Bits, Sid, Taf equaling 247 Words per frame (20ms).

In summary, the differences to the AMR Mode MR122 test sequences are:

  • DTX handling (VadFlag and SpFlag instead of TxType; different SID frames)
  • Decoder homing frame (Decoder homing frame for GSM_EFR is different than for AMR MR122).
