9 Trau Testing with 8 Bit A- and µ-law PCM Test Sequences
3GPP46.054Release 17Test sequences for the GSM Enhanced Full Rate (EFR) speech codecTS
In the previous clauses, tests for the transcoder in the TRAU are described, using 13 bit linear test sequences. However, these 13 bit test sequences require a special interface in the TRAU and do not allow testing in the field. In most cases the TRAU has to be set in special mode before testing.
As an alternative, the speech codec tests in the TRAU can be performed using A- or -law compressed 8 bit PCM test sequences on the A interface. For this purpose modified input test sequences (*-X.INP) are generated from the original sequences by A or law compression. As an input to the encoder they result in modified encoder output sequences (*-X.COD). The same *.dec decoder input sequences as in subclause 6.2.2. are then used to produce the output sequences *-X.OUT, which are A- or µ compressed.
The A- and µ-law compression and decompression does not change the homing frames at the encoder input. The format of all A- and -law PCM files *-X.INP and *-X.OUT is one sample (8 bit) per byte. The format of all other files is as described in clause 5.
All files are contained in archive ts_100725v080100p0.zip which accompanies the present document. The ‘X’ in the tables below with the filenames stands for A (A-law) and U (-law), respectively. The decoder input files *.dec are the same as in table 5 and are not described in this clause.
