This paper describes the time-domain bandwidth extension (TBE) framework employed to code wideband and super-wideband speech in the newly standardized 3GPP EVS codec. The TBE algorithm uses a nonlinear harmonic modeling technique that incorporates principles of time-domain envelope-modulated noise mixing. At 13.2 kbps, the super-wideband coding of speech uses as low as 1.55 kbps for encoding the spectral...
A Discontinuous transmission (DTX) system, which is widely adopted in speech codecs, is an important function for speech communication systems that can reduce the transmission bandwidth by at least a half. Within a DTX system, the comfort noise generation (CNG) plays a key role in the overall quality. Critical performance parameters with respect to the CNG including the transition quality from active...
In this paper a novel technique is presented to efficiently mix traditional ACELP time domain coding with a frequency domain coding model to improve the quality of generic audio signals coded at low bitrates without additional delay. The paper discusses how to integrate parts of a traditional Algebraic Code Excited Linear Prediction (ACELP) speech codec to create a time-domain contribution which coexists...
The recently standardized 3GPP codec for Enhanced Voice Services (EVS) offers new features and improvements for low-delay real-time communication systems. Based on a novel, switched low-delay speech/audio codec, the EVS codec contains various tools for better compression efficiency and higher quality for clean/noisy speech, mixed content and music, including support for wideband, super-wideband and...
A highly error resilient mode of the newly standardized 3GPP EVS speech codec is described. Compared to the AMR-WB codec and other conversational codecs, the EVS channel aware mode offers significantly improved error resilience in voice communication over packet-switched networks such as Voice-over-IP (VoIP) and Voice-over-LTE (VoLTE). The error resilience is achieved using a form of in-band forward...
This paper presents high quality monaural superwideband extensions to G.711.1 and G.722, recently standardized as Recommendations ITU-T G.711.1 Annex D and G.722 Annex B. The superwideband (50-14000 Hz) functionality is achieved using embedded scalable structure that adds extension layers on top of the wideband core codecs. The bit rates are extended to 96/112/128 and 64/80/96 kbit/s for G.711.1 and...
The ITU-T Recommendation G.711 is the benchmark standard for narrowband telephony. It has been successful for many decades because of its proven voice quality, ubiquity and utility. A new ITU-T recommendation, denoted G.711.0, has been recently established defining a lossless compression for G.711 packet payloads typically found in IP networks. This paper presents a brief overview of technologies...
